# Of Tanks/Gals on UR Ramp

[hamster huey]

Just curious how many tanks or gallons are on your Ramps. This weekend I found out 3 full tanks is approx. half a gallon. As of 5/18/09 I have 18 tanks on my Mt chassis of which the 23cc got 8 and the 28.5cc is up to 10. 18/3=6 half gallons=3 gallons.

i measure by how many quarts of 2 stroke i go thru. i mix in 1/2 gallon batches. 2 onces per half gallon. i have 1 more batch left in my second quart. so im almost at 8 gallons, but i lost track as to wich rig has more time on it

I measure vehicle runtime by how many small animals I've run over.

thats it? you need more run time...


As for me, i've got about 4 maybe 5 tanks. We'll see how well my work holds up this weekend. If I blow it up, time for a zenoah.

Got about 8 now. Longest time I've had an engine in one of my 1/5 scales too! Still havent changed the plug yet either!

im assuming you mean 8 gallons? i am also running the stock plugs that came with the 23cc mills. i kept the plugs that came with the headkits as spares, but havent needed them yet. i'll probly change out the plug on the mt becouse the washer doesn't keep it tight anymore and unscrews itself sometimes. but it still fires nice.

I'm with Kryp on this one I have about 6 gallons through my nearly stock MT with the stock 23cc mill that is soon to become a 25.4 race ported.

I sorta lost track but around 35 to 40 tanks, I'm on my 6th gas can at 7 tanks per can (1.25gal)

2oz/ 1/2gal = 4/gal x 8 (gal) = 32 (oz) which equals 1 quart

 

[kryptonite]

2oz/ 1/2gal = 4/gal x 8 (gal) = 32 (oz) which equals 1 quart

oops.. i ment 1 pint, not a quart. and quit tryin to confuse me with all those math symbals.. i aints too smart

 

[Piranha2]

lost count how many 5 litre cans I've been through (US gallon is only 3.78 and our gallons are 4.64 litres) estimate 6-8 US gallons and a few hundred $ in spares

Yeah, I have spent more on upgrades and parts than the truck cost..........and Kryp, maybe you're just better with weigths than volumes

i do not know how much 100 octane fuel i have used so far, do not care at $6 dollers a gal. compaired to $38 a gal. for nitro, has anyone tried mixing nitro w/ mixed fuel ?? if so what ratio is working for you. i used to use this combo in a race sled i had. worked well,

30 tanks today on my first Ramp (of 2)! Thats roughly 5 gallons. Ramp #2 has not been run yet.

 

[hamster huey]

40 tanks now on ramp #1 (6.5 gallons) and #2 is on 6 tanks (1 gallon). I still run plastic gears. With no gear cover the gears do not melt at all. I run my gears until they wear out. Both have 28.5cc one with a x can and the other with a side dom. When I get them all tore down and rebuilt I will post pics and specs.

What octane do most of you run in your cars? Anyone ever try E85?

 

[forist]

Im running 110 octane race fuel with Amsoil synthetic race oil. 3 gallons on the 30.5 so far and still runs like new

I run 25/1 on premium. This topic has come up before.
