Do you use the gas from your scrapped cars? - Page 2

The fuels probably ok to use in a lawnmower or such. Water will sink to the bottom of the tank.
Yep, adding alcohol will mix water & petrol.

Has anyone ever added Acetone to petrol?. I did once in a trailbike.
As soon as the Acetone/fuel got to the carby, the bike took off like a rocket..



Well not that fast, but about the same difference as a cold engine vs a hot engine. Or a cold engine with, without the choke pulled.

It turned out I only needed a capfull of acetone per tank for it to happen.

I had a car sitting on its floorpan (no wheels) for several years. When I cut the bands holding the tank in, I nicked the tank with the anglegrinder....
BOOM!. The flattened tank now looked like a pillow, blew the fuel cap out, deep into a tree bush. Lifted the car by over 4 inches.
It only contained 2 pints of 4 year old petrol......

cash for scrap are is good idea..

I started up a couple of cars i have that have been sitting for 1 year & 3 years.
Both started after a bit of cranking, but still quickly. Both ran well.

Ones needs a throttle body alignment ( its not idling 100%, but not too bad )
And the others got a Tappet knock ( i hope ! ) & sticky injectors or sumfink because i read that on the OBD2 readout.
Its also got 2/5ths + of a tank of fuel..
