However, air density decreases approximately 3% per 1000 feet (305 m) of elevation, thus at 8500 feet (2593 m), the air is approximately 25% less dense than at sea level. This means there is less air entering the carburetor, altering the air/fuel mix ratio.
Cependant, la densité de l’air diminue d’environ 3% par 1000 pieds (305 mètre) d’élévation, donc, à 8500 pieds (2593 mètres), l’air est approximativement 25% moins dense qu’au niveau de la mer.
