Naphthalene for better mileage

[bambard]

---

I read this from blog

Naphthalene was used as a fuel, before WWII, and race car drivers used it to boost octane by adding 5 mothballs to every gallon of fuel. That amount caused the engine to carbonize. Today, many are using it to get better mileage out of gasoline and diesel engines. Some have reported fantastic gains up to 96% in V8 engines.

Old Fashioned Moth Balls are 99.5% pure Naphthalene. That is the only type of mothball that works. A friend told me they are illegal in Europe.It can takes a mothball an hour or more to dissolve in your tank. Some people crush them up first. In cooler weather, it will take longer; take this into consideration in order to prevent a buildup in your tank.Oh, the gas pills you hear about - Naphthalene

proven nah ni?!? nice..

Preface Comment, May 18, 2007 The following material was compiled in the late Spring of 2006, while the company yet denied that the product contains Naphthalene. As of its re-launch on May 17, 2007, the new website states that the product contains a small amount of Naphthalene "as a dispersant". The following page is retained as a chronicle of the debate that ensued due to independent laboratory discovery of Naphthalene in the product, and the companies attempts to deny and explain. -- Sterling D. Allan
The purpose of this page is to address the question of the similarities and differences between BioPerformance and Naphthalene, the ingredient of past mothballs.
Napthalene has been used in fuel to effect octane, and has been used in the past to improve mileage, but has long-term detrimental effects. Naphthalene is a toxic substance, with carcinogenic attributes.
Officials from BioPerformance say that BioPerformance fuel is safe and does not contain Naphthalene.
In Chemistry, one atom difference makes a different molecule (combination/arrangement of joined atoms), with a different name, and altered reactivity characteristics. But the similarities are usually greater than the differences.
This issue was recently brought to a head by a WESH I-Team investigative report (video) (transcript), May 4, 2006. They asked two professors from the University of Central Florida to analyze the product. Chemical analysis concluded: Naphthalene, nearly 100%.
A response by the manufacturer of BP said that BP does contain some naphthanate, which is similar chemically to naphthalene, but non-toxic, as well as having superior performance in terms of fuel economy enhancement.


The Univ. of Central Florida then ran additional tests, and said the Naphthenate chemical signature is missing in BioPerformance, and that the pills are definitely Naphthalene. (WESH; May 16, 2006)
At least two other independent labs have confirmed that the BioPerformance additive is composed primarily of Naphthalene.

Try putting some Additives in your fuel. Sounds strange coming from me, but that is something you can do "Right Now" to start improving your motors fuel efficiency.

Add Acetone and Xylene to your fuel; gasoline or diesel. Acetone changes the surface tension of the fuel. That makes it spray a finer mist. That will make it combust better. Better combustion means leaner fuel and more efficient burning. Xylene will help increase octane and help override the affects of alcohol in the fuel. Together they work great.

Add Mothballs made from Naphthalene. The old fashioned moth balls are 99.5 percent Naphthalene. The only kind to use. It takes an hour for them to dissolve. They will boost your mileage. Naphthalene is a hydrocarbon. Do not use more than 5 mothballs in 20 gallons. You don't want to carbonize your engine. Oh, and don't use mothballs if you are using Xylene. They do the same thing.

A friend of mine drives an El Camino, 305 V8 and gets about 30 mpg with all 3 of these additives. I recommend you try acetone first.

One last tip: Find a gas station that does not have alcohol in their gasoline. You can't go by what is listed on the pumps. Alcohol has a slower combustion rate than gasoline. It is harder to ignite. It will lower your gas mileage, so try to avoid ethanol fuel. The additive suggestions will work better if the fuel does not have alcohol in it. So find a good gasoline in your area before you start using additives.
