Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

The first assumption that I have to make is that the 38 lb/hr measurement is telling me how much gasoline is being injected per hour.

On that basis, the first thing we can do is convert lbs to grams:

38 lbs/hr x 453.58 g/lb = 17,236 g/hr

We'll next convert grams per hour to grams per minute by dividing by 60 min / hour

17236 g/hr x 1 hr /60 min = 287.27

Finally we need to get you to cubic centimeters per minute. The specific gravity of gasoline varies, but the reference I found states it as 0.739 grams per cc.

287.27 g/min x 1cc / 0.739 g = 388.72 cc/min
