I need to weigh 30ltrs of fuel and subtract it from mine, I’ve also got about 7 Ltrs of oil and I did have a big breakfast just before we arrived


Petrol is lighter than water (floats on top) and water is 1Kg per 1Litre in volume (this is how a Kg is defined, 1Litre of pure water at a certain temp etc). Something like 0.8Kg for each litre is about right.



523kg it is then :D


When I built it I did weigh and it came in at 528kgs - on proper calibrated corner weight scales. I replaced the exhaust can and added a bit of carbon and a couple of other bits so you might well be near the 523kgs area!

Sorry that I couldn’t find the geo figures. I think they might be in my toolbox but that’s in Hampshire!

I'll call that place near you Mark (road and race) or something like that on Monday for a chat.
