Just remember not to confuse a metric ton with 2000 lbs.

I'm used to 2240 lbs/ton.

Well you can just scale it up, it's a ratio. 1 ton of fuel + 3.5 tons
oxygen gives 1.4 tons water and 3.1 tons carbon dioxide, whichever
version of the ton/tonne you use, and there are at least three that I
know of!


Yes, thank you. It was just the round figures that I wanted to bolster
up my general theory about the weather.
