I have made a new gas meter my other one was rather leaky.
And my gas presure was a little to low for my other meter setup.
I made some calculations.
Plzz reply if my calculations are wrong.
Chamber volume = 2242
Meter Volume = 106.4
Fuelratio = 3.53333
Volume of gas needed = 79ml
Calculated meter presure = 0.74 Bar = 11psi

Are my calculations correct?
