I put 3 oz MMoil in with 10 oz acetone...shook it...then found that 1 of the 3 oz of MMoil was not left in the bottom layer. This tells me that 2/3s of MMoil is an oil...the rest is a solvent that blends with acetone.
I use MMoil not because it is a magic elixor...but because it is convenient for testing...I'd also use mineral oil (baby oil)...2 cycle oil...ATF??....maybe even vegetable oil...where it would act as both a fuel and as a lube. |

The addition of the above resulted in zero increase (actually 0.5 mpg decrease) but such a small change could be the result of almost anything but surely did not result in any measurable positive change. |
As mentioned (?) I'm currently testing iso/MMoil in an EFI....no results yet.
Very possible that the iso will work best with a carbed engine that might be running a little rich? |
You could, but you have to look
Isopropyl or "rubbing" alcohol can be used as a cleansing additive, however, isopropyl alcohol is sold in stores usually being 70% or 91% alcohol with the remaining part water. You don't want water in your system, but i am sure a racing fuel retailer would sell it 99.99% pure (the highest you can get). Also, it might bring down your FE due to the fact that alcohol contains less energy per gallon than gasoline, but with the small amount you would be using, I wouldn't see a problem there. By the way, you will often read or hear about drivers who say their FE decreases with the use of E10/E85, including me. Lol

You can get fairly pure IPA at hardware stores in the paint thinner section. |
