| |  Whack gas
So coming up on two years with my main engine, I decided to mix up a treat - you know just to see if it would explode.
So I added some Vanilla flavored kerosene fuel odor enhancer.
Really weird, but I think my engine likes it. It was fast before, now dangerously powerful. |

But I'll bet your exhaust smells great... Sort of like a candy/pastry factory. Are kids following you around?

Funny thing is - it smells like an Italian deli. Maybe the castor oil and vanilla....
I was pretty surprised at the power change. I wonder why? It does have some methanol in it (yeah I know), but it's a very small amount. |

I have seen the fuel scents.. I never tried one before.
You say it made more useful power .HMMMMM!!
Supposedly a happytime can run on a kerosene and gasoline mix. I have never tried it.
How much did you add per gallon?

I'm not talking about standard gasoline fuel scent additive (cherry, berry, etc) this stuff is made for kerosene heaters…I'll get the brand when I get home. Also I added it to premium (92) fuel. |

I mixed about 1/2 oz in a little bit of Dominator oil (didn't mix!!) - then I added 6 oz or so of premix - instantly it all went into solution. So I dumped that in my 1/2+ full tank (32:1 in there)
