Hi iv'e got some chemical to mix up with water
the instructions say mix 1 quart of chemical to 1 quart of water
does anyone know what this is in pints or litres
thanks chris

 

That's a 50:50 mix surely, so the amount doesn't actually matter? Just add equal quantities of both.


But AFAIK a US pint = 16 fluid oz., whereas UK pint = 20 fluid oz. A quart = 2 pints (quarter-gallon) and therefore a US quart = 1 + 3/5 UK pints. If my maths is correct...


Try this too.

About 1 litre then, as the rhyme I was taught when we were decimalised goes "A litre of water is a pint and three quarter"

 

Sounds like you are as old as me...

Are you making MDMA ??

 

I'm older than England's last world cup win, old enough to be taught Imperial at infants school, but Metric at Juniors, which is why I'll ask for 3 metres of 2x4

 

I managed to stay safe in the womb until a few weeks after £sd went away, but I sill wouldn't know 3m of 4*2 if you hit me with it. Anyway, if you need 10 ft, ask for 10 ft..... if you get 3M it will be too short.

(This all gets very scary when it is important - the two guys who built our house were 2 generations apart.... that is probably why our sun room is exactly 4.8M wide and and exctly 16 ft long)

 

Thanks for the info folks
The head gasket went on my 1.8 freelander runabout
i got some chemical to put into the engine to repair it
its made in the us so all the instructions are in american quarts
anyhow mixed it all up ,followed the instuctions & today it seems to have worked
been out this morn done 70 miles & not used any water, result(was using 2 pints to 30 miles)
Glad i gave it a try for £30 insted of £600 for a new head gasket
