Around 327151kcal, so approximately 769767 donuts, depending on the type of donut.

At roughly half a kcal per donut, that's no donut I want to eat.

(So roughly the same as a normal fuel tank, gotcha. Cool. I've always wondered about LPG.)

Hey, just a little PSA to you and others. While I'm sure the slings are plenty strong for that job, the configuration can be a recipe for disaster if the angle of the lower parts become too close to horizontal. This Wikipedia article explains the phenomenon from a rock climbing scenario in great detail, but long story short: when doing V or Y configuration in any load bearing situation, keep the angle as small as possible. Assuming the angle in your pic is 120 degrees, the black sling alone is experiencing as much force as the engine hoist is at the chain, even if it's only holding half the load.

Re: the 54mm socket, this 50mm socket is available locally in 3/4", and it's like 11 quid. With your access to a machine shop, would it be possible/feasible to get that, and then machine off 2mm on each of the six faces, abusing the "round corner" design a bit?



E: fuckit, I have a somewhat busted one you can *have* if you want.
