nitro methane
 

I heard about a guy using nitro methane in his car. Now granted, it wasn't even close to being stock. But my question is what would happen if I put some in my car? (HEHEHEHE!)

It'd explode. Ever see a con-rod come out the side of an oil pan? http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

Nitro methane is way less flammable than gasoline.It has only a slightly higher flash point than diesel.Your car wouldent have even close to enough compression to bring the nitro up to enough pressure to allow a tiny spark to ignite the methane.So point being your car just wouldent start.BUT the unburnt nitro methane leftover in your exaust and mufflers would probably smell really cool for a day or so(after you got it fired up on regular gasoline).

91evilstang thats what i was thinking. The guy who tried this was running at least 12.5 to 1 compression on top of running about 25 pounds of boost. Do anyone know how much compression and boost you have to run in order to use this stuff?

I always thought, nitromethane was pretty volatile stuff. I know its mixed with alchohol to stabilize the fuel based on humidity. The stuff was used as an industrial cleaner, but proved to be highly unstable

Thats the MSDS page for nitro

CH3NO2 is its chemical formula

1 carbon, 3 hydrogen, 1 nitrogen and 2 oxygen atoms I believe?
