Re: Chemically modify the gasoline.
One of the guys on this site was using the mothball method. I remember reading about it when I first joined about 3 years ago.
I remain skeptical of most additives. When I hear someone saying that they increased their fuel economy by some small amount... I think of two things: 1. They didn't adjust their figures to account for the amount of the additive added to the tank (that quart per tank should be added factored into mpg). 2. The cost of the additive in relation to the fuel savings. |

For instance, all the air/fuel data presented ignores the term "stoichometric ratio" and its focus on the ideal 14.7:1 A/F ratio (chemically speaking). Some of their "assumptions" ignore this balanced ratio, leading to some erroneous results. I find it interesting Enoz (the mothball manufacturer) states there is already napthalene in pump gas; they recommend no more than 5 mothballs per 20 gallons of gas. This is 1/4 of a 'ball per gallon. Two comments : (s)he who puts a mothball in the gas tank is hurting themself (it won't dissolve for many, many hours - plus it "puddles" on the bottom of the gas tank)... and 1/4 of a 'ball per gallon ain't squat! A total waste of time. The O2 sensor won't "see" it. "Says it all"? I rather doubt this. HHO people are good marketeers, not scientists. One must consider the source in all presentations. |

Patent it? Too much prior art! Too expensive! Auto supply companies? They deal with parts, not concepts. Investors. Ah! Ask someone who has X million bucks to put towards a concept which has no precedent and watch the reaction. Carbonize the engine internals? This sounds mysterious & nasty! Someone needs to tell my engines of this condition. This is Bad Science! Abbreviate.... At the risk of starting another flame war, I'm gonna hit "submit reply" and see what happens.

Re: Chemically modify the gasoline.
So you're not selling a fuel additive?

Yeah, I agree. I'm tired of this pitch as well. The purpose of the forum is to share information, not sell it.

Re: Chemically modify the gasoline.
I think he is selling old mothballs from his mothers basement.
