[QUOTE="Alastair, post: 12415, member: 13"] To 10 liters of 85% FA you add 7 liters of water to end up with 17 liters of 50% FA Note - FA slowly degrades and an 85% mix a year ago will be less than 85% now. Also, any impurities in the water you add will increase the speed of the breakdown. Luckily for our purposes, getting the % exactly right is not critical, long as it's in the ballpark. But if you want to know exactly, a floating hydrometer will tell you. [/QUOTE]
