RE: oil percentages...
one gallon is 128 ounces
18% is 0.18x128=23.04 ounces
add 8 ounces, so now you have 31.04 ounces in 136 ounces of fuel
31.04/136=0.23
0.23x100%=23%
18% is 0.18x128=23.04 ounces
add 8 ounces, so now you have 31.04 ounces in 136 ounces of fuel
31.04/136=0.23
0.23x100%=23%

To carry on from Pe's figures (thanks Pe 
), the original fuel had 23.05 ounces oil of which 20% (1/5th) was castor so 23.04/5=4.608 ounces of castor and 18.432 ounces of synthetic. Add 8 ounces so now there's 12.608 ounces of castor in a total of 31.04 ounces of oil. Castor content of the oil is 40.62%.
I assume from your last post that it's to be used in an old Fox? If it's a Fox 35 then it's still no where near enough castor. The correct fuel for them is 29% all castor.

No Sir. its a old 46.
id like to have some of fox's fuel 5% nitro and 20% casotor. but it just cost too much. its cheaper to buy castor adn add it. thank you for your math
