(OP)
Dear fellow members a beare of little brain is having trouble.
How many cc of petrol does it take to make a 14.7 to 1 ratio if we assume we have 100% VE in a 500cc cylinder ?

A tidy mind not intelligent as it ignors the random opportunities of total chaos. Thats my excuse anyway

RE: petrol volume

14.7 is the mass ratio. density of air is 1.22, density of fuel is 750, so the 14.7 kg of air would occupy 12.05 m^3, and 1 kg of fuel would be .001333 m^3

so the volume ratio is 0.00011, and so 500cc of air would need  0.055 cc of fuel.

...or something like that

Cheers
