[QUOTE="bclapham, post: 1245820, member: 25565"] here is where you are getting really out of your depth, and one of the reasons you shouldnt be going all over the internet telling people what fuels they should run when you dont understand what you are talking about. the % of oxygenation relates to the amount of oxygen atoms within the fuel- MTBE and EtOH arent oxygen atoms, they are molecules that contain oxygen and hydrocarbon- thus, you would have to add 10-30% volume MTBE or EtOH or MeOH to get 1-5% oxygenation. as for putting in the high end distilates and getting performance back with oxygenates, yes, you see that with pump fuels that have end points over 350F, but i wouldnt class anything with an endpoint less than 260F as having high end distilates. as for companies buying in barrels and mixing the fuel itself, this is no different than what refineries do, just a scale thing. who else mixes 2 and 4 stroke fuels? thats just stupid, VP has so many different blends its untrue for everything from bikes to drag cars, U2 and U4 couldnt be any more specific could it? perfume? are you kidding me? the strong smelling components are additives to make power and stabilize the fuels. like i said, you shouldnt really come one here and start bashing products that you dont understand. Rich, please close this thread- its a waste of bandwidth. [/QUOTE]
