Flushing the "A" Side hose. How many gallons of fluid do I need to flush it out? Last Updated: 02/12/2013 |

I get asked this all the time, so I thought I would play around and tell you how to figure that out.
A 3/8" hose. Remember Math class and saying "when will I ever need to know - πRē (Pi x Radius Squared)?" Well look at yourself now. 3/8" = .375" diameter. the radius is 1/2 of that. .1875 .1875 x .1875 x 3.14 Thats .110 cubic inches of space inside the 3/8" hose per inch of hose. 50' of hose is 600 inches. 600 x .110 = 66 cubic inches in a 50' hose. 1 gallon has 231 cubic inches. If you have 200' of hose, you have 66 x 4 = 264 cubic inches. 1.14 gallons to fill the hose. (add a little for the fittings at each end of each hose) |
