James in the chef coat kills me 😂
*Science-Man coat
Need James sprinkling nitrous on a engine Tshirt ha
Chef Jackstand.
cause he knew something was gonna get cooked in this video!!!

My....MY CAR?! You said you were tuning it up?!
Go get it, fix it, and drive it 1600 miles home. A fella could…
I got an old ford and sweet honda you would love d
Came here to tag you 😂
time for a trip to florida with some basic tools and your leathermans
Tuning it up good yep
I dont know who all would agree but id love to see another 1000-4000$ car/boat challenge. Loved the last couple and have been really wanting another!
agreed
YESS! another budget challenge would be sick
Yeah ditto
I saw someone comment the same like a week ago and cleetus replied that they have something in the works. Pretty excited to see what they do this time for the cheap challenge
Boat challenge imo. Some of my favorite videos from these boys.
" roughly calculated" says the guy in a chef's jacket in a auto shop. LOL
Let'er eat 🫣💥
😂😂😂
Rotating all of the fluids. Brake master gets engine oil.
Power steering reservoir gets brake fluid.
Radiator gets filled with power steering fluid.
Crankcase gets filled with antifreeze.
See how long it will run or how many laps it will run on the track.
That’s too much work
@@larrytheenticer731You’re right… these guys would never do unnecessary work for good content. 🤪
Great idea
Absolutely perfect
Can’t put oil in the brakes tho that would be boring. The brakes will just lock up as soon as it gets hot. All the other ideas sound fun tho. When I was in school our class emptied the coolant in a crown Vic and placed a brick on the gas pedal and the damn thing just kept running it never blew up. Those things are bullet proof
At 6:16 “grab a beaker or sum let’s take a sample at the fuel rail” **cuts to a Taco Bell cup**😂😂😂
I caught that too 😂😂
I came to comment the same 😂

When Jackstands wearing a chefs jacket, you know somethings gonna get sprayed til it’s fully cooked 😂
I would of died if he had different seasoning bottles in his chef jacket pockets :)
I came here hoping someone comments about his chef coat.
Jackstand 2024 !!!!
As an engineer, I did the math and with the fuel consumption as well as added diesel the final ratio was about 69%
Nice.
Giggity
Bet you know Uncle Ron 😂
@ docGamergirl
ALRIIIIGHT!!!
Nice
That cut to Cleetus going “Guys we lost track of our ratio. It’s hard being scientists.” killed me 😂
His face expression is so funny like they are drunk and trying to do something 😂😂😂
That was an incredibly florida man moment
That’s why I love this channel.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Technically as long as it is being recorded in some fashion then it is still science and a legitimate experiment
The cut to Cleetus screaming at the explosion absolutely kills me
I’m dying still
Gotta watch it in slow motion to really appreciate the facial expressions
Needs to be on a T shirt with his face red glowing from the backfire
I would love to see a "how many turbos can we add" episode of Science with Cleetus.
Don’t let Ty hear about that
That's probably all the Crown Vic needed, some extra heat in those cylinders would definitely help light off that diesel.
Now do the reverse, add gas to a diesel.
You should try running a Crown Vic on various types of alcohol. Rum, Whiskey, Moonshine, and Vodka to name a few.
You dont need to be a scientest to tell the booze with the highest alcohol percentage will be the best..
Agreed! The channel garbage time tried this idea with an old v-twin fiat 126. They even got the poor thing to run happily on kerosene. It would be interesting to see how the v8 fuel injected motor of a crown vic would handle the same variety of fuels.
Not much of a point, they are all ethenol
Guy with a Ranger already did it several years ago.
@@sddragon28 the V8 wouldn't run. The fiat engine was designed to run on multiple fuels lol
Who else wishes that the month of freedom continues into June!?

Science is what got me hooked on this channel. Just searching up electric turbo fails, then boom! There is some giraffe in a lab coat bolting one on.. here I still am.
I did the exact same thing 😂
The electric Turbos was one of my favorite videos. I also love driving underwater!
Thats a couple of years ago now right? I feel like cooper was still there, I miss coop
@@timmy24261I miss his dry humor too
A lot of people don't realize diesel is low octane.
They assume because of the high compression in diesel engines that the fuel must have high octane. What they don't realize is that the high compression of a diesel doesn't bring as much energy as a bright spark.
The RVP of diesel is so very low, however, that it's very hard to atomize without the heat of compression and high fuel injection pressure.

Oh yes!
We need McFarland Laboratories shirts!!! With a fuggin tacobell beaker!! Hahahaha
I’ll buy one!
100% would buy I work in a genetic diagnostics lab during the week but at home it looks a lot more like this.
McFarland Science is back! 🍻
Much needed this...
I was so excited to see them back in the lab coats too!!!
I wish we could have a YEAR of Freedom.
Chef coat with extra big buttons...Love it
Month of freedom is just something else, I’m Australian and all I can say is i could watch these boys all day just a bunch of legends living their best life’s. 🙌🏻
Lmfaooo the excitement from james when you said fill it up 😂
Definitely want to see more science experiments
Hell yeah brother❕
They are so good. The flex seal head gasket was my favorite
We need brake fluid as engine oil for the next experiment.
Or bearing grease as engine oil, that would be interesting too
💯
For sure. Love these
On the next episode of the McFarland Science Channel: Crown Vic flys on Aviation Fuel
When the people ask for Cleetus McFarland Science channel back. What happens? Cleetus delivers what we want. What a Legend! Thanks for listening Cleetus! You're the best, bro! The Electric Turbos were some of my favorites. lol.
Back in the day of carbureted engines, during the hot summer, they would put some diesel in with the gas to prevent it from air locking (evaporating in the fuel lines). It won't show up in their short dyno tests, but diesel in gasoline will make the engine run hotter and eventually melt the pistons and rings, warp the heads, etc.
Probably because Diesel doesn't vaporize and cause the cooling effect that the more volatile gasoline will.
My truck driving(over 2.5 mil miles) late great dad filled up our 1970 Plymouth Fury III sports with diesel.I d estimate about 80% of 35 gallon tank capacity.He drove thru it but man did the 325hp Super Commando run rough tho.I did rebuild that engine after this and some couple thousand miles to a pristine 383 sixpack with mechanical Holleys,that is not vacuum operated.They came from a 440 six pack Stock racing engine that ran 11 s in a 1971 Cuda.Finnish hot rodders love their Mopars.Back in day Finnish retailer for Mopar perf/direct connection was biggest unit outside USA and once they ordered 200 perf starters for SB mopars and USA end had 3 in store!My kid bro built a 1970 Chrysler 300 convertible with 440 six pack and street raced a 1970 Cuda with 383.
The science projects were always one of my favorites because everyone inner goof is more evident. Seems like everyone really enjoys it instead of the rush and fix and video on race season
@8:10... "its startin to smell more like a lawn mower and less like a car" (Tye)... lol🤣 . At first I thought he said "Volvo"
The hypotenuse is in. We need more science videos
I like the angle you're taking.
Ol' Jack Stand crackin' me up, "Put some goggles on" !
“Just wait till I spray it” words I’m goin live by 😂🤘🏼
Jackstand says "put your goggles on!" You know its getting sketchy!

It's got a cam over each head. Sounds like dual cams to me! 😂
@@zachhoefs9543 that's not how that works 💀
Exactly
I mean its like calling a pile of shit green instead of brown though
** growing up I always heard of sidewinder straight 6!!
It is supposed to be the badest engine!
You take chevy 232 straight 6 or Ford 300 and it will take a good chine shop to cut the crank shaft in half rotate (180°) it to where 2 pistons come up on on compression at same time ( basically making it a 3 cylinder) but then you have to weld it back together at presisely right point, and balance it you also have to have cam shaft rotated, but with modern technology as long as you can get fuel and fire into the 2 cylinders at same time at compression . In old days they took 2 rotars and put together 180° out so spark goes to both cylinders same time! Supossedly these Sidewinder engines had so much power and hp. They would smoke anything on the street!
SO SIDEWINDER STRAIT 6 MYTH OR FACT! AND WITH TODAYS BLOWERS AND NITRO AND TECHNOLOGY CAN IT BE IMPROVED ON!
I THINK THIS WILL BE ONE THAT BE INTERESTING
YOU GONNA HAVE TO AVE GOOD MACHINE SHOP , WHERE THE CAN MAKE (TURN) CRANKSHAFT, CAMSHAFT WITH 180° ROTATATION WHERE 2 CYLINDERS FIRE ON COMPRESSION STAGE AT SAME TIME, THEY WILL ALSO HAVE TO BALANCE THEM ALSO! BUT IF YOU CAN DO IT THESE THINGS ARE RUMMERED LEGENDS IN DRAG RACING FOR THE STREET! I THINK THIS SHOULD BE GREAT VIDEO'S!
***LEGEND OF THE SIDEWINDER ENGINES! AND IT IS FROM HERE IN SOUTH GA. AND FLORIDIA ! ****
SORRY SO LONG BUT I tried to explain it best I could! I think it will make interesting videos! And prove once and for all Sidewinder Myth, Legend or fact!
Aint nobody reading allat
An inline six two pistons are up together anyways without having to cut an engine in half. The only thing that changes whether its a compression stroke or not is the camshaft. Dumb.
Did they call them that because it can explode like an Sidewinder missile? Lol
This sounds like witchcraft. Or urban legend.
Maybe some dude back in the day had a built engine, and then told someone about this glorious "sidewinder" engine to fuck with him 😂
That's not a thing. There is a Banks Sidewinder, but that's a 5.9 Cummins and doesn't flip half the crank. What you're describing, you would have to cut and weld at the crank pin filet, which is the most vulnerable part of a crankshaft to begin with. Also, the 232 is an AMC engine, chevy never made a 232 straight 6. ALSO, if you wanted to fire the engine the way you're talking about, you wouldn't even need to weld the crankshaft. Straight 6s fire 1-5-3-6-2-4, and the exhaust stroke happens in the same order, you could just swap out the camshaft and tap coil & injector 1-3 inversely into 4-6's signal wires (you'd be firing 1+6-2+5-3+4). I can tell you that the intake system would be a massive restriction in this configuration though. You'd be creating massive vacuum pulses on every intake stroke which would also cause massive increases in turbulence, which would theoretically improve fuel atomization (fluids evaporate more readily at the same temperature with lower pressure) but would starve the engine for oxygen, resulting in a lot of unused cylinder capacity, and unburnt fuel hitting the catalytic converter and fouling it very quickly. Hope you found this informative. There's a lot of tall tales out there regarding engine modifications, and a lot of people get away with their fibs because they're complicated enough most people wouldn't understand how what they're saying doesn't work.
I love that jackstand wears a chefs coat during science videos. 😂

6:20 "grab a beaker" *Jackstand returns with a Taco Bell cup* LMAO
T an Air compressor line into a custom intake in a way that the compressed air pressure will seal the intake system via one way check valve and build boost. If the engine consumes more air than the compressor will deliver the check valve will open back up. Add enough compressor flow so WOT pulls breath entirely from compressed air tank(s).
Taking flex fuel to the next level - why did the lab coats remind me of Mythbusters lol

Got to follow this up with gas in the diesel...this will for sure create a bang!
Why should it create a bang?
There are no spark plugs in a Diesel engine so normally the gas shouldn't ignite or at least not well.
Diesel mixed wirh some fuel will still work though.
@@dannyfar7989 More flammable than diesel and more compression in a diesel engine...not a good combo.
@@danrose3233 Check wikipedia for octane/cetane numbers for "proof", if anything it's the other way around, Diesel is more Combustible than gasoline. That's why Diesel emgines don't need sparkplugs, Diesel exlodes without sparkplugs and why gasoline engines need them: gasoline doesn't explode as easily, spark plugs do the trick.
It's not as much about flamability as about combustion. It's called combustiin engine for a reason.
Higher octane fuel combusts later/under less pressure only high octane fuel used in high compression race engines not because it is more combustible but because more/easier combustible lower octane fuel could oe would lead to uncontrolled combustion.
@@dannyfar7989 Yes, diesel contains more energy for the same volume. You are correct I should have said more flammable on gasoline.
I would think gasoline in a higher compression engine would cause major problems. It would probably need to be a glow plug style diesel in order to combust. I think about what happens when a flame is put to diesel vs gasoline, again this is flamability.
I think the other issue is that ignition of gasoline in a diesel engine would ignite at the wrong part of the stroke.

12:30 GOOD NEWS IF YOUR OUT IN THE BOONIES AND ONLY HAVE 1/4 TANK TO GET HOME 60 MILES ADD 2 GALLONS OF DIESEL FROM A FARM TRACTOR
We have an an account for a company that has both gas and diesel powered vans and employees who don't pay much attention when fueling them. We have had both gasoline and diesel powered vans fueled with the opposite fuel towed in from them. Every time emptying the tank and refueling it with proper fuel resulted in a van that ran fine for a while and blew up at some point down the line. Obviously they didn't make full dyno pulls with the wrong fuel in them, I would think that would shorten the lifespan significantly.
Sounds like that company needs to wise up and pick a fuel type or make it more obvious which fuel the different vehicles take.
@@QargZer Gas has black cap, diesel has green. If they mess that up constantly, they need some help.
@@AceEverettmy 06 f250 has a black factory cap. It’s a diesel truck. U just gotta be dumb to not know what you’re driving
@@AceEverett you must not go outside often or have a job if you don't know how dumb people can be. Also I have been around hundreds of diesel vehicles that don't have green fuel caps...
@@kirks6932 if you work for a company that doesn't have assigned vehicles or workers that drive multiple vehicles it's easy to forget which fuel the vehicle you're in uses.
I can't tell you how many times I have had to tell a forklift driver he needs to swap to LPG instead of gas while inside.
People that drive gas or diesel in personal vehicle but the opposite in work vehicle can trip up if they are tired and not thinking about the vehicle they are in.
Just gotta say this channel wouldn't be the same without the crew you have right now. I know it might sound corny, but you guys really have some magic going on over there. I get more excited for a cleetus video than a grown man should 😂

15:35 --- Using nitrous as ether ahahahahaha that was beautiful.

Jack stand kills me with that chefs coat
looks like Dr. jackstand is the chef for tonight :'D
Back in the day the "Little Grey Fergie" (Ferguson TE-20) they ran it on TVO (Tractor Vaporising oil) that was basically Kerosene, which is basically Diesel. It was a carburettor engine that you started on Petrol (Gasoline) and once it was hot you switched over to TVO... Great torque.
Things I've always kinda wondered about.
1. Dyno a car in reverse and try to make as much power as you can... Maybe try multiple cars. (Obviously gearing is going to be the main thing here)
2. Thinking about EGRs.... Closed circuit with the exhaust being the only intake... Maybe nitrous too.. probably nitrous as well.
3. Remember when whistling diesel did the wagon wheels. I'd be curious how crazy wheels Dyno. (I know you normally offset this in Dyno ... I don't know the best way or if you even could program the Dyno)
4. Dry ice in your intake?
5. I don't know how you would do it but Dyno 2 cars on the same Dyno... (Maybe the cars sits on jacks with only one wheel on the studs and on the Dyno)
23:11
Lettttsssss go y’all absolutely killed the month of freedom
the octane rating of diesel is WAY higher , the btu of diesel (stored energy per gallon) is higher too , think diesel does burn slower than gasoline so you should notice the difference like stuttering flames out the exhaust and temp changes mostly at high revs where the fuel is still burning at bdc when the valves open
it might actually work in small percentages of you tune the engine for it
dont think the cathalic converter will like the greasy smoke going through it though
it might be worth investigating it for real it it adds horsepower (and at least in the netherlands its a cheaper fuel)
thinking on running a seperate injection system with pure diesel and gas through a second set of injectors so you can run more gas in spots in the engine rpm where it needs it and while running stationairy maibe have the static compression of the engine higher (more octane should stop it knocking) and realy finetune the spark curve and see wat you can do with it , probably needs to run way hotter to burn off the oily mess

They are using off road diesel.
@@jmit5650what?!?!? We had no clue? 😮
Red diesel fuel is classified as off road fuel. No road taxes have been applied. That is one of the checks that a dot officer looks for in a highway use truck, is the color of the fuel.

Derek's car?!?!...
HOW DARE YOU!!!😂
Way back during 1975 during a drive northwards in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia, one of the roadhouses had its fuel supply cut off due to money problems and the petrol had run out. That left me stranded or I could chance pushing on and running out short of the next fuel stop and begging fuel from fellow travellers. That was going to be chancy if they also were running on fumes. The roadhouse still had diesel. The car was a 1966 Vauxhall Viva. I scratched some numbers on a piece of pie bag and worked out that I might get away with extending the range of the fuel I had in the tank by adding diesel which worked out to about 30%. I retarded the ignition as a hedge against detonation damage and made the distance to the next roadhouse with no problems. There I filled the tank with the engine running in fear it might not start. The rest of the journey was fine.
James in the chef coat: the red food coloring was a nice touch.
heating fuel and farm diesel is dyed red for off road use only as there are no highway taxes paid on it, State Troopers will dip you truck (OTR) tanks if they suspect you are using it or if you're from Iowa
Back in the day I had a Volkswagen beetle that still required leaded gas. I would add 1 cup diesel to the tank to keep the valves lubed. Worked a charm
Can someone please, PLEASE, please get this to Gale Banks??!! He'd have a good chuckle 🤣
