Example Data Table

Mode Input Values Key Output Interpretation
Fuel-to-Air Analysis Fuel = 5 kg, Air = 73.5 kg AFR = 14.7, FAR = 0.068027 This matches a classic stoichiometric gasoline ratio.
Air Needed from Fuel Fuel = 8 kg, Target AFR = 12.5 Required Air = 100 kg Richer operation needs less air per fuel unit.
Fuel-Oil Mix Ratio Fuel = 10 L, Ratio = 50:1 Oil Needed = 0.2 L Useful for two-stroke fuel preparation and blending.
Blend Split Ratio Total = 100 L, Ratio = 3:2 A = 60 L, B = 40 L The total divides in direct proportion to parts.

Formula Used

Fuel-to-Air Ratio: FAR = Fuel / Air

Air-to-Fuel Ratio: AFR = Air / Fuel

Fuel Share Percentage: Fuel% = Fuel / (Fuel + Air) × 100

Air Share Percentage: Air% = Air / (Fuel + Air) × 100

Lambda: Lambda = Actual AFR / Stoichiometric AFR

Equivalence Ratio: φ = Stoichiometric AFR / Actual AFR

Required Air: Required Air = Fuel × Target AFR

Fuel-Oil Mix: Oil Needed = Fuel / Mix Ratio

Blend Split: Component A = Total × A / (A + B) and Component B = Total × B / (A + B)

These formulas are ratio relationships, inverse relationships, and percentage transformations. They help convert one known quantity into the missing quantity.

FAQs

1. What does a fuel ratio measure?

A fuel ratio compares one fuel-related quantity with another. Common examples include fuel-to-air ratio, air-to-fuel ratio, fuel-to-oil ratio, and blend proportion between two components.

2. What is the difference between FAR and AFR?

FAR divides fuel by air, while AFR divides air by fuel. They describe the same relationship from opposite directions, so one is the inverse of the other.

3. Why is stoichiometric AFR useful?

Stoichiometric AFR provides a reference point for complete combustion. Comparing actual AFR to stoichiometric AFR helps estimate lambda and equivalence ratio for richer or leaner mixtures.

4. Can I use different units?

Yes. The calculator displays results in the unit you choose. For correct ratios, keep input values within the same measurement system for that calculation mode.

5. How is two-stroke oil calculated?

Enter the fuel amount and the fuel-to-oil ratio, such as 50:1. The calculator divides fuel by the ratio number to find the oil needed.

6. What does lambda tell me?

Lambda compares actual AFR to stoichiometric AFR. A value of 1 is stoichiometric, below 1 is rich, and above 1 is lean.

7. How does blend split mode work?

Blend split mode takes a total quantity and allocates it by ratio parts. A 3:2 split means three-fifths of the total goes to A and two-fifths goes to B.

8. When should I export CSV or PDF?

Use CSV when you want spreadsheet-ready values. Use PDF when you need a clean report for records, sharing, or printing.
