You shouldn't have any trouble..
















With moths. :rofl:

where do i get some i have to try

Moth balls simply boost the octane. The moth balls method has been in use since the 70s. Very old remedy.
Reason for moth balls boosting your power, simple they are made from naphthalene.
Which is a hydro carbon. Explains why it boosts your power.
But you have to be careful there are three types of mothballs.
One of them is a HCI based ball. With is an acid. I don't think that would do your fuel lines any good.
Not sure of the other one.
But the third one is naphthalene. Which is the ordinary commom mothballl. On the packet it should tell you what the ingredients are. Not only that, naphthalene has it's own distintive smell.

Mythbusters is one of my favourite shows. Those guys have the coolest jobs!! The egg in the radiator as a stop-leak was a good one, and as for the mothballs I'm not sure that's a good one to try long-term. I wonder if the use of mothballs is covered by the Holden Factory Warranty?
I did feel sorry for the Cadillac motor (and body as well!). It was tortured beyond belief: after getting a sugar high it was fed terrible food, made to swallow a raw egg and bleach before finally passing away through over-exertion. RIP.

Mythbusters

Hahaha,

I just knew someone would use the Mothballs after I saw that episode. :bang:

Although it looked like it actually worked.......Tempted to try it, but I think ill take a pass..... :wave:

I love that show. Didn't take long for someone to try their experiment!! :rofl:
Anyone else see what they did to that silver Corvette??
Should've been shot for that. :flame:

well i ran the tank dry and refilled with fresh fuel and the old shitbag is back to its ratty self!
no problems so far with leaks or clogging down the line
its official: i will now carry mothballs in the back of the car for those "emergencies" where i for some reason must travel 400m as fast as i can!


wtg MYTHBUSTERS

haha thats bloody terrible.

and tonight, he's out to run a new 1/4 mile, hoping to beat his best time of 16.9

Last time he was here, mods were, Airfilter.

This time, he has something up his sleeve.. And wait, its moth balls.

Anyone been game enough to try adding bleach to the engine oil?
