Well the tank in my car is approx 60ltrs, from the fuel gauge you can roughly guess how much will go in.

So if its below 1/4 of a tank i know i'll easilly get in 40ltrs. I know that 20% of 40ltrs is 8ltrs. So when i get to the pump i add 8ltrs of meth/toluene and then add 32ltrs of vpower.

Easy really

Better more than to little mind

Had a little fiddle about with this this morning.

Just a dummy run so i can get everything sitting right, cut the relevant areas etc, get the spare bumper cut and then get it all painted.

To say this thing is rather large is a little understatement and it looks like it will take 10bar lol

Sorry for the fone pics, but thought the weather was too nice not to take a few.

Got the cooler bolted up how i wanted it tonight and made a start on the bumper cutting. £ hours was spent on the bumper to get it to this stage. Im not 100% happy with it, although i dont think i ever will be but i guess thats the joys of having a massive cooler.

The bumper is just rested on the front of the car with only 2 clips in it so please excuse the poor fitting, its just to give you an idea.

Once im happy it will go for paint.
