ok ok, re read my previous post, and youll understand(i hope) figure out what 4% of your chamber volume is, make a pipe with 2 ball valves on either end of it. one side goes to ur gun one to the propane tank. you open the one closer to the propane tank, close it, then open the other one then close it. you now have a 4% mix. rinse lather and REPEAT. you now have a 8% mix or a 2x mix, theyre the same. now to make up for the extra propane in the chamber you pressurize the chamber to 14 psi.
in the upcoming presidential election, there will be several candidates who will be running, one of whom is Hillary Clinton. Now WAIT A SECOND!!! I though there was some sort of rule that prevented someone from serving more than two terms in office. Vote Against Hillary: Presidential Elections 08

Wow, i new that :oops: , Thanks for the help, when i build it i will send you some pics. This is going to sound stupid :idea: but the stupid question is the one not asked :idea: , If the chamber is 6 CI and 4% of that is 0.666^? You divided 4 by 6? Then it should be 66.67 right? :?: :?:

And so that would mean a 1/8 pipe that is 1inch long would work :?: :!: :?: :!: :?:

Can't wait to see the pics of the world's smallest propane meter.

Don't blow yourself up, man. Even a 2x mix in a small cannon like that could do a fair amount of damage. Take your time and build it carefully, sleve everything you possibly can, and put as few holes in the chamber as possible. Good luck!

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

you need a .24 ci injection system. which is .06" of .25" pipe or .12" of 1/8" pipe. good luck with this, and by the way, my email is beebs111@hotmail.com

This is easyer to build metering sys but it will be very acurate.

Wow, go to http://www.burntlatke.com/ft_splash.html and type in your chamber volume, the pressure that your propane will be regulated at, (if it's going to be regulated at all, if not put about 90 psi) the diameter you want your meter pipe to be, and then calculate. It'll tell you exactly how long you need your meter pipe to be.

if it was a 10 ci chamber you would need 3.2" of 1/8" pipe.
