The formaldehyde content generally ranges from 5-35%, and the methanol content may range from 9-56%.

Moontanman 2 strokes run better on wd40 then 4strokes.

[@mihaiilie8808]

2stroke2smoke 2 strokes run better than 4 strokes because 2 stroke has a higher compression ratio usually.You can make the 2 stroke to run on diesel easy.You just have to increase compression ratio ( not the psi) close to the compression of a diesel.It will get verry hot fast thogh but the power its crazy ,like a diesel torque and a 2 stroke Rpm .Ive done that by shortening the cylinder a few mm(calculated verry well) to increase the compression ratio .

You cant purify alchohol to 200 proof because thats 100% alchohol and alchohol atracts moisture. (Why you can get moosemilk to stay and any proof for very long unless its sealed

[@ipissed]

There is a process using adsorption that can produce 100% alcohol. It uses zeolite, and a process similar to column chromatography. Alcohol was also synthesized to 100% before that, but at a ridiculous cost so even then you could say there is no 100% alcohol, but not anymore.

[@Golgo707]

ipissed exactly, also the blend will work with 95% alcohol

[@noone-nd4ml]

ipissed never heard of that before i thought that you could get a max at about 96-99% thank you for correcting me

[@kevinjones6091]

That was very interesting to see on the see threw engine how little it burned off. On the test mower was that wd-40 building up on the deck or crankcase oil. Once again another great video. Love them slow-mo shots. Keep it up.

[@ProjectFarm]

That was WD-40 on the deck coming out of the exhaust. It doesn't get used up inside the engine.

Brake clean works as starting fluid quite nicely in small amounts.

Thank you for the recommendation!

Does anyone notice that its the end of a ice age.

@Red Stoner and it's pretty sad your just targeting my opinion and stalking this comment just to be rude.

I wasn't surprised it worked, I'm surprised the engine came out CLEANER as a result.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hmm looks like a lot of smoke coming from the exhaust? could be burning some oil?

Great point.

Probably fine

Is possible to run an engine using gasoline as an oil??

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for this recommendation.

[@chuckphilpot7756]

I doubt the viscosity would be correct. You can run an engine with no oil lol. It just wont last very long

[@kaptein1247]

if you want to destroy your engine, yes.

[@michaelcollins1899]

@@ProjectFarm this wasnt a recommendation dumb ass!! Actually read his comment!!! Was a question. And the answer is NO. Theres just some people that know common sense and dont have to make a video about it.

[@michaelcollins1899]

No, it is no possible to do that be he will sure make a video. He will do anything for viewing hits. Back to your question, gasoline is the fastest component to lock a motor up tight when it gets into the oil crankcase. Happens all the time on mtd riders when carb float fails, allowing gravity to flow fuel into crankcase. An oversight on design. It will crank, and run a bit but smoke so bad you cant see, then lock up. Doesnt usually harm engine, simple drain and refill with oil and back to normal and of course fix the float issue immediately

[@thomdevries7639]

When you tested the engine power the choke was still on

[@achilleaustin]

he should redo it

[@BillSr.]

Yeah I think he should redo this video also.

[@cashen7384]

he had to have the choke on for it to stay running

[@liamholcroft7212]

He requires a richer fuel mix which is why he has the choke on, otherwise the engine would cut out.

[@manos3790]

He should've experimented with the choke to make the mixture leamer, as it was running way too rich.

[@CyberDreZ]

A lot of RC hobbyists use WD40 as an after-run oil, myself included! Run a bit through the engine and it keeps them from seizing up!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

[@carcomp101]

I once mowed my yard by emptying a can of brake cleaner into the gas tank and pouring in a some 2 cycle oil cause why not. I needed to mow before a storm and lived pretty far from the gas station. It worked pretty well. The mower was fine when I switched back to gas.

[@ProjectFarm]

Great!

[@the0limonatorpower530]

Napalm as fuel? 🤔😂

[@oofig]

Napalm is made with gasoline

[@wreckandraceify]

Napalm is jellied kerosene. Would not flow. It's jellied to spray and stick to foliage while burning.

Will an engine run on hairspray?

We used to fire our potato cannons on aquanet hairspray.

[@mikelemoine4267]

I once drove an RV a few miles home when the fuel pump failed by spraying WD-40 into the carburetor. It was a van front end so with the engine cover off, I was able to spray WD right from the driver seat. I had the straw on it to make sure it got into the carb, didn't want to set myself on fire. Would do about 30MPH on WD and was cheaper than a tow.

Project Farm dam that was fast u really read your comments but have you done a vide were you put regular gas in a 2 stroke engine if I have not please do it please

[@thelondonbroiler]

Straight gas in a 2 stroke will cause significant cylinder wall and piston ring damage, likely in less than a minute. The longer it runs, the worse it gets, ultimately seizing and possibly breaking the connecting rod. Good stuff.
