Fuel calculator

This calculator works out the amounts of materials based on the amount of oil. For example if you tell the calculator you you have one litre of oil and want 30% nitro and 24% oil it will work out the amounts of nitro and methanol you need. I built it this way because I figure most people but oil at their local hobby shop in the 4L bottles (1 gallon in the state..)

The main benefit of this calculator is its ability to work out the costs of mixing your own fuel, it can also give you an idea of the quaintly you need if your buying for the first time.

At this point it only allows for 3 ingredients

This is not officially live yet it has a few bugs, currently you can only get here from the site map.
