water spray results

I used a 50/50 mix with metho in my bottle and the temp's go even lower, as metho starts to freeze when it evaporates.. Something along the lines of refridgeration..

Also, excuse my ignorance but metho = methylated spirits:confused:? (just thought i should find out before i tell someone to try it or anything lol!)

Yah... thats what i was thinking... having metho gases hanging around in the hot engine bay doesnt seem like such a good idea...

And dude, can we see some pics please! =)

1/3 part metho and 2/3 water.

Experiment with that and see if you can set the fumes alight - if you can dilute with more water and use that mixture.

What's the best way to experiment on lighting the fumes?... mix it in a bottle and hold a match on top then squeze the bottle to blow the fumes out against the flame?.... that's about all i can think of :confused:

Sounds ok to me just do it somewhere worst comes to worst you can chuck it and not burn your house/garage down.

I think shaking into the bottle first should even the mixture up as well.

I don't know, personally you'd have to show me a temp gauge with performance proof of more than 1-3kw that this stuff was really working or I would not use metho (after my electrical fire). It's just a scary feeling watching flames under there.

Also I'm not sure the flash point of common household metho. I've googled and it comes up anything from 80-100 degrees which is horrible for the engine bay to have pure metho, on the other hand we might have different mixtures for the domestic stuff.

Either way good luck.

PS: also i think you should use 100% metho to test if you can light the fumes as a control experiment. Cos now that i think bout it the flashpoint would probably be more of a worry.

(a flashpoint is when a substance erupts into flame due to temperature without a nakid flame.)
