Czech term

celkem

Czech to English Tech/Engineering Medical: Pharmaceuticals
context: vyplachni duplikator do sudu celkem x.0.75 l etanolu.

Somehow I have problems working in the word celkem in a natural fashion. Also, the ompresent x. bothers me slightly.
Any suggestions for expressing this in a natural fashion?
Proposed translations (English)
4 containing a total of 0.75 litres of ethanol
3 o celkovem obsahu

x generally represents symbol for multiplying.
Radovan Pletka Dec 15, 2005:
But sud generally represent a vessel, which holds hunderds ot thousands of gallons, and you are taliong about less than one liter. Sounds strange to me.
Yngve Roennike (asker) Dec 15, 2005:
#3 Well, I put in the period, I assume, it was probably a comma originally.
Radovan Pletka Dec 15, 2005:
sud and 0.75 l doesn't make sense, as sud is rather large. I would check with the customer about the source correctness. Also period after 0 bothers me, as there should be comma, if the source is Czech.
Yngve Roennike (asker) Dec 15, 2005:
#2 Thanks to both.
LinguaChick: your link does not work, apparently.

Yngve, please try another link:

You could also say: "containing 0.75 litres of ethanol" which would be quite adequate.

o celkovem obsahu

Dear Yngve, the whole sentence is rather halting. I suggest the following wording: vypláchni duplikátor v sudu s etanolem o celkovém obsahu 0,75 l. I hope all diacritics showed up correctly. Nevertheless, the original sentence would help us more.

Oh man, I've just noted you want to translated to English! Well, then I deeply apologize (I am not always quite sharp in the morning).
So what about: wash the duplicator in a barrel of total ethanol capacity of 0,75 l...
