Did a fuel additive test...

Using patent number 4231756 ...

I tested adding 2.2 ml of the additive (shaken) to 1 pint gasoline (6 oz to 10 gallons) ...and as soon as it was in the gas it mixed well and stays mixed. This is a small amount of additive relative to the gas.

As I put it together...the s hydrox does end up at the bottom of the bottle...but it remixes real well when shaken.

This might be why the patent mentions using 10-30% gasoline as part of the additive...plus I didn't have the ethanol in it.

what I used at 6oz per 10 gallons:

13.5 oz methanol (sold as wood alcohol or denatured alcohol?)

3 oz xylol (actually this had around 1/5th acetone)

0.42 oz s hydrox solution (not the solid)

1 oz GP7 2 cycle oil

Result? no mpg gain

Not sure how I could improve this additive mix to retest it. Could be that the 8 oz per gallon of ethanol now in E10 keeps it from working.
