The game does not include a reference to the [[wikipedia:Molar mass|molar masses]] of these fluids, but it should not normally be necessary. Ratios of one substance to another can be crucial (e.g., for [[Fuel]]), but these are always calculated by mole (see [[wikipedia:Stoichiometry|stoichiometry]]), not by mass or volume. As such, when you set the mix ratio on a [[Pipe Gas Mixer]], that's a ratio of moles as well. | The game does not include a reference to the [[wikipedia:Molar mass|molar masses]] of these fluids, but it should not normally be necessary.
