- In a pinch could you use Jack Daniel's as a fuel to get to the nearest gas station? Today we will test 9 different combustable liquids in the engine of our new and beloved Ford Pinto, and we're gonna find out!

you should name the car 'greg.' just lowercase and the period so it sounds underwhelming, and youd have to pause for a sec whenever you say its name because of the period
greg is Danny gonzalez' thing
"so we're going to take greg. On a hot lap of our local test track. Can greg. Be competitive against true racecars?
Ever drunk baileys from a shoe?

Trying to explain to the officers that my cars drunk, not me
Lmao
All those open -empty- containers of Ever clear?
This feels like the early days of Mythbusters and I'm here for it lol
Yeah, I remember the episode where Jamie Hyneman drank wiper fluid.
Man, you took me right back to 2010 when you mentioned Mythbusters. :) Also, rest in peace to Mr. Imahara. Grant made the show run well.
One reason the pure methanol didn't work as well as the ethanol (Everclear) is that the stoichiometric air-to-fuel ratio is lower for methanol than ethanol (and ethanol's is even lower than gasoline). Pump gas has a stoichiometric AFR of about 14.7:1, ethanol has 9:1, and methanol has 6.4:1. If you restrict the airflow to the engine by, for example, applying the choke, or if you increase the size of the jets on the carburetor, it may run quite well on methanol or ethanol.
Yes definitely need to re-jet the carb for the different fuel types
Also, you’ll never get over 98% ish alcohol/methanol. Pure alcohol is so hydroscopic it will pull moisture from anything it comes in contact with. Including what you’re trying to distill it from.
@@856Dropout I think the limit is 96%, last time I checked. Could have been improved though.
@@potatosordfighter666 I didn’t know the exact number. Just that it was in the high 90’s
@@856Dropout If you use molecular sieves or salts you can get the last part out. Just need to keep it from being exposed to a high humidity environment before sealing it.
Jack sparrow? Runs on alcohol and bad jokes
That starter is the real MVP here
Literally said the same thing as we watched it do nothing but PERFORM
@6:47 - AHEM! That bottle was FULL when you bought it! 🤪
Call it The Bean Machine.
1. Because Pinto beans.
2. Because that thing is an absolute UNIT for running after sitting that long AND your tests... (not sure how long that engine's gonna last now though)
I think just "bean"
this feels like something people would genuinely be testing in an apocalypse or something
"i swear im not fucking with you! everclear is a perfect replacement fuel in a pinch- of course theres gonna be problems but its better than ditching your ride, come back to find it gone or stripped"
My friend fell asleep and drove a pinto just like that thru 2 telephone poles and still had to shut the engine off.
Liquor Mc'Acetone Face
Name her the Red Barron
The Red Karen for being so temperamental. She should just be happy with what she gets instead of throwing a sputtering fit…
props to that starter lasting that long 🤣🤣
Sputtercup sounds like a fitting name
What an amazing use of a waterjet machine 😂
Never thought I would ever say this, but congrats on the Pinto, clean unit!
loved the video.
Some advice, install some sort of simultaneous fuel system it could be something as simple as a dripper into the carburetor. so you don't burn that starter and fly wheel up messing with the Alternatives you can start it on gasoline and then feed in the alternative fuel while the vehicle is still running instead of using the starter to try to start it on the alternative fuel to begin with
Those brothers are opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to creativity!
Josh says: "Your engine oil is MINE!"
Should call the Pinto 'Fireball' 😊
Oh no Dan don’t drink that lol
You should name the car Josh. It's red and aged...like a fine Josh wine.
I liked this one. Well done. An alarming amount of effort from you boys really.
You should name the car "Pinto McPintoface"
That 69% rum should be used for higher compression engines, it’s got a lower combustion rate
Pinto McPintoFace Jr.
Whole new level of drink driving
Name the car BERTHA, all caps
I run on Jack Daniel's, might as well see if my truck can too.
I think after this video you should rename the pinto the the pint'o
This
12:06 "how to edge a car"... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ... Genuine lol !!
cop: “sir have you had anything to drink tonight?”
my car: 😟
great job guys . interesting.
We need more videos like this. Lmao i havent laughed so hard in a hot minute
For the memes we need to name it pintomcpintoface
you know they dont build them like they used to when that starter just lasted the lifetime of modern day ones in one video
"no officer I dont have any open containers of alcohol IN the car"
i love this video, such a great idea!
Ive been wanting a Pinto ever since i was a kid. Idk what to name it, but I had to watch this video.
Theres a snaps in Germany were I live it's called "Stroh 80" because it has 80% Alc and its normaly used for baking or in some rare cases Cocktails but you can drink it(If youre brave enough).
would you believe me if I told you I was just in Austria?
@@WaterjetChannel Actually yes
in most places of the world that'd be abused so readily as hard alcohol. I can only presume you have cheaper alternatives :p
@@tsm688 Hand Sanitizer
How about calling it "The Big Red Pinto Jelly Bean"? 🤣
The tube for the rum was never inserted all the way from the beginning. I caught it, but I assumed you guys would take care of the issue off-screen.
The stories about older cars running on alcohol in a pinch were because the typical compression, ignition timing, and octane were generally different in those vehicles! You really could run an older vehicle (sometimes) on alcohol. Carburetor, of course, is necessary. Modern cars tend to absolutely not run on alcohol first and foremost due to ignition timing, even though a modern vehicle will adjust ignition timing based on the perceived combust-ability of the fuel it's receiving.
@12:05 "had to edge the car" 😂😂😂😂
Guess the car is not a Pinto, but a Ford Edge instead. Oh wait, the Edge is a boring SUV that looks like every other car on the road in 2024.
“Do you know why I pulled you over, sir?”
“I’m driving drunk. Well, not _me_ but the car. Just stick the breathalyzer by the exhaust.”
You should have tried running it on mold release, but you probably don't have any of that around
beautiful experiment
Come on guys, you know you gotta name it "Red Rocket"
Just name it the Pinto Bean. It's obvious. You can call it Bean for short.
props on the credit scene.
You should have used some NITRO METHANE. Nothing like the smell of nitro in the morning, sure the exhaust feels like mustard gas in the eyes and throat but that'll give that Pinto some pep.
If I remember correctly, aren’t the gasses actually toxic? Like respirator bad? I remember something about ken blocks honicorn v2 needing a full face helmet with fresh oxygen blowing in or something
@@lucassvedlund3851 A respirator would be a good idea, you won't last long in a nitro methane exhaust cloud, but as a kid at the NHRA dragstrip we only used hearing protection. All depends how close you are and which way the wind is blowing.
@@paul.phillips okay, then it was probably just so bad because that thing was spewing it out right in front of him and he could easily be in a cloud of it
i love this doing experiment videos !
Yes. Generally you want to up the jets like 2 sizes on a a carburetor so it will burn alcohol instead of gas, But Jack is low proof and high sugar. so you might have to go up more, unless you plan to refine it, or add gass or more pure alcohol. It will run for a while, but the real problem is the sugar. Sugar Carnalizes when you cook it. if you think valve deposits are bad with cheap gas, Wait till youre cooking sugar in with youre cylinders .
Oh and for the record, its perfectly leagle to brew shine as a car fuel, but you have to add like 5 percent (i cant remember the exact amount) Gasoline to it, This makes it Undrinkable, and not taxable by the ATF.. It also means you dont have to discard the leads or trailers on the distill.
If youre brewing alcohol in the quantities needed to fuel a car, The ATF will find out, and its best not to have more than a couple of quarts of pure stuff lying around.
I simply would not consume a beverage called Josh, that is the opposite of marketing. Obama impression on point
Not a drunk driver but still drunk driving
I had a new idea for the water jet videos, do you know the Pelton turbine, that could be quite interesting
at these pressures there's not much difference between a pelton wheel and any other wheel, they all work
how about naming the car: "The Pinto Bean"
Everclear is no joke. That stuff damned near killed me! I'll never touch that shit again.
THE PINTO HAD A PINT, EY?
Ford Bent'O for the name lmao
Alcohol actually has lower energy density than Petroleum Gasoline. That's worth keeping in mind. Cars setup to run of Methanol are typically set to run a higher fuel to air ratio; in other words, richer.
You're ending was awesome. It was like you channeled Ralph from "The Simpson's ". That's yucky lol sribescube lol
I can be the only one thinking this was a dankpods Tony video
"Matchbox" "Deathtrap" "Firecracker"
hmmmmm.... i think theres quite the mixture in the carb bowls, so i think you should repeat this test but instead of jars, suck the carb bowl dry first and in between each liquid. it takes a bit of time for the bowl to empty once its been filled. check your ignition system too, the spark may not be strong enough to ignite less than ideal fluids like alcohol. cool video im looking forward to more!
Pinto bismol, hand's down.
Holy moly, I have been thinking about it since I was a child
GMTA. When the windshield washer fluid failed and he said "not enough methanol in it" I thought, ‘well, you could distill it. But they will never do that.’ And then they did. Awesome.
Golden humour! Love the pinto
Hurts to see these guys abuse this classic car in this way
Name it The Bean
You'll never make 100% pure alcohol with a sill, the best you will ever get is ~96%, and that's after several runs
she's called Ruby ,
I had 7 pintos through out my apprenticeship
awesome cars
Yes I ran a car on Jack Daniels. It will work. Poured it right into the gas tank.
Running an engine on alcohol - takes a LOT of alcohol to do the same job as straight gas. Engine is set up for gasoline not alcohol.
I suggest car name: Bicycle
How about "Bus Pass"?
I think you should just name it "Bean" 😂
please name it Chesty Puller.
Name the car "Jelly Bean"
name the car fireball, as it inevitably will end up in flames anyways
Do the same test with a 12v cummins and try different oils and DIY bio diesel.
Was that a purple mclaren in the beginning!!
Me and my little brother were thinking the same thing! We think it’s a McLaren 720s as the back somewhat fits with the car in the video so nailed it with the McLaren!!
You have a good battery right there
The thing to keep in mind is that the carburetor is tuned to run on gasoline. It would probably run better on a lot the examples if it was adjusted to do so.
What bullshit did I just watch for 20 mins😂😂
You can run a lot of flammable liquid in an carburator engine. You just have to adjust the carbonator and timing depending on the liquid/gas fuel. Your segment should be will it run without adjustment
Antifreeze doesn’t contain methanol. It’s got ethanol. But either way, they are both alcohols. But antifreeze and washer fluid are not flammable without distilling the alcohols out from the rest of the ingredients.
When the car is running then sputters on these, it’s just residual gasoline in the line/carb.
But the ratio of fuel to air is also different with alcohol based fuels. For example, the engine needs around 33% more fuel for the same amount of air with E85.
You guys are the new myth busters! Besides your pretty cute!
dan, you're underrated.
You should've adjusted the fueling.
Alcohol runs great on EFi cars when warm.
The how to edge ur car part had me weak✋😭😂
Name the car slat
Name it the Gremlin
4:36 This should have been the title of this video.
You should name it, Penny, the pinto
fireball
just name them 'scooter'
Yes you can run even lower % alcohol as fuel but you need to adjust the fueling.
Currently doing that on my car on overstock sanitizer
what is stoichiometry and what are carburetors
Hop over to your local fast food place and ask for their used cooking oil, filter it and run your car on it.
(You may have to preheat the oil above 150 fahrenheit)
Doesn't it only work in diesel engines?
@@DARKredDOLLAR from what I understand it works in both, but it works _better_ in diesel engines.
However there is a difference between carbed and injected engines, of course.
I wonder if tried making E85 with the everclear and some gas, it would work better. Then again IIRC cars that can run on E85 need to inject more fuel to compensate for the fact that it has lower energy density despite having an extremely high octane rating, so you'd probably need to run it a lot richer than normal to run smothely. That and probably a bunch of new fuel lines if you're going to do it for more than a few tests so they don't get eaten by the ethanol.
