Title: MORE "things to do with gasoline for your car"
Post by: DrewKaree on April 17, 2005, 04:48:08 pm

So I'm perusing Summit Racing's online site, and I come across THIS:

http://store.summitracing.com/fuel fragrance (http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=search.asp&type=bykeyword&searchtype=both&part=fuel+fragrance&x=11&y=9)

WHO is this meant to be for, and WHY was this invented?  Oh, and in case you're wondering, they have several fragrances available. ::)

They also make this stuff for the R/C nitro cars, elsewise it sorta smells like a really strong playdough when you got 20-30 of em running on a track.

Besides, when youre listening to your radio in your garage, with the door closed and car running. you don't have to deal with those "pesky smelling" fumes.

sooey-side via grape.....fragrance?

Who is the smell for?  Can you notice it while driving your car, or is it for others?  If you can notice it while driving, what's that saying about how much exhaust you're sucking in normally each day? 

Will adding acetone to the fragrance dilute the fragrance? ;)

Have you heard about putting moth balls in your gasoline?  They tested that "myth" on Mythbusters and found it to be plausible.  They said that it seemed a bit rough at low revs, but when it revved up it was loud!  (nothing like nitromethane though)

I saw it once saying it was designed for dirt bike and atv riders.  Being behind someone on trails or tracks for a few hours  you tend to smell like exhaust afterwards.  I guess it's something that some people just might think is cool for their cars.
