Ratio ???
 
What is the correct way to mix my fuel ratio? The local shop owner says its a ratio of oil, and nitro to the meth. Example (100 oz. meth, 15 oz. nitro, 18 oz oil) for a 15%mix with 18% oil.

I thought it was a percentage of the total content. Example (67oz. meth, 15 oz nitro, 18 oz. oil ). For the same blend.

Please let me know what you think

You are correct with your method. I have a neat mixing chart for excel if you want it. Let me know and I can email it to you.

I've attached the excel mix chart in a zip file. If anyone can't unzip let me know and I can email it direct.

If you look closely at the arithmetic of the example you quoted you will see its flaw. Your example would yield a total of 133 oz fluid. 15 oz of this would be Nitro. 15 oz in 133oz is not 15%.
