First, I’ve been away for 2 weeks in the Carib= bean, so just catching up … some interesting reading about the stagin= g and injector lag issue by Steve Boese.

And Mark, my math (75 G * 4 qts / 2 qts) says you ar= e mixing at 150:1 … seems a bit light.

Perhaps I’m mixing too strong 22 L / .2 L =3D = 110:1, one Gerry can at t time.
