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.

Re: Whackass gas

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

Re: Whackass gas

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.

Re: Whackass gas

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?

Re: Whackass gas

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.

Hmmmmm....you got me to thinking. Wonder what a dose of good ol' glow fuel would do in a China Girl?


WHOA! Forget that experiment! $165 per gallon for 40%???!!!!!
