Anybody have a 32 oz. can of Torco to weigh?
I just purchased a 32 oz. can of Torco Accelerator and it only weighs 29 oz. including the can. Does anybody have a can to weigh for comparison?
The UPS shipping weight was 2.0# which included the box is what lead me to think something wasn't right.

Could that be 32 fluid oz? UPS always weights to the next higher lb.

I weighed it myself in the box and it did weigh right at 2#. I think UPS was correct at 2#. Don't see anyway I have 32 ozs. of accelerator in this can.

I would think the 32oz is a measure of volume, such as "fluid ounces", not a measure of weight. For example, 1 fluid ounce of gasoline weighs less than 1 fluid ounce of water, yet they are both the same in volume.

True but I just want to be sure that I don't have an old can that perhaps some evaporated. Might not be worth putting in my engine if it's been on the shelf for over a year. I read somewhere that shelf life is about a year.
If I had a large measuring cup I suppose I could determine if Torco is referring to weight or volumn.
If anybody has a new unopened can to weigh I sure would appreciate it.

It is a liquid it is sold by fluid ounces otherwise it will have 32 oz NET WEIGHT on it. With out the 'Net Weight' it IS fluid ounces. Forget about the scales
