The oil probably sealed the worn rings, and the acetone probably gave the injectors a cleansing, but that's probables, need to examine things before and after in detail to be sure... :)
Yep pretty much. I'd like to see what happens in the long run with a lower dose of oil. Probably not a bad regimen on a new engine either if it weren't for the idea of screwing with sensors. Upper cylinder lube has always been a concern with 4 strokes... nothing up there will complain about a little extra oil except the plug. It's really the deposits that would shut it down. But I figure at a low enough concentration, it would have an improvement effect without doing too much deposit wise. I'm thinking maybe 500:1 or so.
I heard that acetone helps disperse the fuel into a finer mix in the combustion chamber and that's why it runs better. Since it's a solvent, it breaks up the fuel into smaller bits. I've even heard stories from old hot rodding Australians who were upset over the fact that it was hard to buy high power solvents compared to how it used to be, and how they helped the engines run so much better. Stuff like Xylene or something I can't remember the name the Aussie guy liked, just that it had some Xs or Zs in the name.
In Canada, years ago, we had a similar hack to the turpentine. When we had a car with low compression, we'd add a handful of mothballs into the gas tank. The car would run like a dragster for about 40-50 miles and then the pistons would start to delete.
Yes, we need a follow up of this. I would say the mixture should be: - (90% of the recommended octane booster amount) so 13mL of it -same amount of oil -half amount of acetone -10-20% turpentine (to make the oil residue burn off due to higher combustion temperature, and the oil should protect the engine) -Rest should be Gasoline
I was thinking the same thing when the compression was significantly up after the first test with the 2 cycle oil- those full throttle runs likely just burned some carbon off the valves and rings, improving their seal. It's also possible the improvements seen with acetone could have been as a result of it cleaning the fuel system. It would have been interesting to see a final acceleration run and compression test on pure gasoline to see if the improvements were still there.
A lot depends on which bolts and how much. You can get away with doing this on the lower part of the engine for a while but the top end will likely not start due to air leaks.
Where I come from it used to be quite common for people to add mothballs to their gas. These mothballs contained naphthalene, which will increase the fuel octane level and has been used for such since at least the 30s, but it does of course come with some caveats. For one thing, I'm fairly sure it resulted in chlorine gas being a bi-product of either the naphthalene or some other component of the balls, along with the usual things you'd expect like carbon deposits being a possibility. It had a distinct aroma when burned, so you could always tell when a car went by with mothballs in the tank.
It will actually run worse as it will create a very lean condition. Nitromethane needs lots more cc of fuel for the same quantity of air. To get any improvement you will need at least 3 times the fuel flow for the same amount of air being pulled into the engine. Nitromethane molecules are a lot smaller than a hydrocarbon molecule. Thats why top fuel funny cars have superchargers, not because the supercharger is increasing power, but is nessesary to pump the amount of air into the engine that the nitromethane needs to make a proper mixture.
@@SebastianLongnot true. You can literally mix vp race fuel to 87 pump gas and create your own octane. I do it often with my Audi bc it’s turbo and I can make 96+ cheaper. You can easily mix them and run any car just fine as it would if you put premium or super in a normal vehicle. The benefit wouldn’t be there like it is in high compression engines.
Added a small amount of paint thinner to some older gas in a can I found in my garage. Put it in my Lexus is300 and made it about 2 miles before the thinner ate the internals of the fuel pump. 2/10 would not recommend
In rally competition they often added tholuene to the gas for a turbo car (Evo's, Subbies.) That gave more knock resistance and allowed higher boost. They also used it in F1 turbo engines in the 1980's. The unfortunate thing is the tholuene is toxic. Oops!
I add 1 liter of acetone to 70 liters of diesel. to benz OM642 diesel engine, time to time. it operates smoother and quiter. on long runs with a relatively constant speed, fuel ecomony gets better during that trip.
When I had my volvo d5 diesel I added when I was going to the gas station some 2 stroke oil, the engine runs smoothly because it makes the diesel smearing capacity better, because here it's al biodiesel.. the car is still on the read, I thought it has around 900.000 km, first engine, first pump..
I also add some acetone, however a lot less than you, on a 1.5dci Renault engine (K9K-732). I'd be scared of pouring 1l though as it might damage the o-rings and plastics in the fuel line, so I'm adding around 50ml to a full tank. There was also a test somewhere online about the impact of acetone, and they said around 1:1000 is the best ratio for best fuel atomization, and fuel consumption. More than that and you get negative results, at least on the power/fuel consumption side. I also mix it with 450ml of 2-stroke oil (JASO FD standard as it doesn't impact the catalytic converter -or DPF but I don't have that on mine-) and pour it in before refueling so it mixes properly. I've been doing this since I got the car at around 80k km, and now it has 220k km and the engine is in perfect shape. Stock everything on the fuel line and main engine parts. I also give it redlines as often as I get the chance, that's always good for a diesel.
Thanks from Canada, you answered alot of questions for me' I used to add diesel fuel to my old Yamaha 500 XL when the temperature went to aroind +40C, if I had ratio good I would lose my predetonation, too much and it ran like shit. Keep up the curiousity, people are always trying to save money on cars.
I'm willing to bet that it has. They just can't say anything about it because Russia. Getting around the sanctions was easy. They've basically already accomplished that. All they had to do was switch up who they trade with and use other countries as middle men to import previously banned goods. Availability for most things likely hasn't changed much but the extra cost involved in getting around the bans has made things more expensive. I'm willing to bet that GM shop next door to them is feeling it for sure.
You should really repeat that baseline test at the end, if it would be around that 17.6 that you've got at the beginning then we can talk about an improvement, otherwise 1 second difference with that long time as a baseline is possible due to better start, less slip at the launch, and plenty of other factors.
I agree. I not surprised they didn't do another base line. They tend to over due the "build" and under do the testing. Maybe in Russia if your video is over 20mins no one watches it idk
Yeah, I think that the acetone cleaned the injectors, hence the better elapsed time. He should have tried with straight gasoline right after the acetone run. I'm pretty sure he'd still get 16.8, but now we'll never know.
Another old school trick is add a gallon of diesel to every 10 gallons of petrol if its engine wear. It also works the other way if you have a good diesel, add a gallon of petrol to a nearly full tank of diesel, it makes a slightly hotter burn which increases power ad torque
That was totally awesome Minami! I love seeing how things are made and you have the exclusive Yoshimura tour now! I always wondered what motorcycle factories are like given the high standards and respect for excellence that the Japanese are known for. Great vid! From fellow biker in USA!
Acetone can increase the burn efficiency of gasoline slightly. Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas can help lubricate the compression rings and help a bit on power. Helps the rings last a bit longer too.
Hey, can you guys make a see through Air Conditioning system? I think it would be really cool to see how the refrigerant acts. I saw your see through shock video and thought of this.
Air conditioning systems often see pressures around and occasionally above 350psi. Make that out of clear plastic and you're basically asking for it to explode.
I worked with a guy that routinely added acetone to his gasoline. I don't know the ratio but he claimed a 5mpg increase. Hand to laugh, 'runs like hell untill the pistons melt'. Thanks,i neededthat. Love this channel .👍
I ran my 2t bike on polyurethane solvent for a few months until there was no more solvent left. It ran well with a very slight decrease in power. Between 1 and 5%, I would guess. The fuel economy was MUCH lower though. Maybe a decrease of 20 to 30%. That happened without ANY adjustments to the carb. Had I known what I know now, I probably would've been able to get the power loss back and definetly would've improved on such a loss in fuel economy.
I experimented with acetone in turbo saab 9-5s for a while and definitely saw MPG increases. I would add about a cap full of acetone, there were charts online that showed the best mix ratios, it doesn't take too much.
ya he probably got the idea from kipkays weekend project channel. i think he was the first one to make a video about it increasing your mpg like 15 years ago. think his video is still up. he was also the youtuber who switched to making fake videos so i feel like its mostly psychological. chemically i dont think it cleans anything extra, its pretty similar polarity to ethanol already in most fuels. it does have higher vapor pressure though, but not sure if a signfiicant amount would actually increase the risk of knock since its easier to flash off. also, a lot of those additives can have good or bad effects on the catalytic converter. 1980s style cats which run much hotter are liable to melt. the newer ones might get a cleaning since they accumulate more carbon.
10:02 youre saying its a popular thing, but here in Brazil the regular gasoline comes with "only" 35% of Ethanol 😅 we dont even know pure gasoline... When for 2stroke, we put a bit of water, mix it, and let it sit for a day to separate the ethanol 😂
at least all engines in brazilian cars are made to support both ethanol and gasoline, so the presence of ethanol in gas doesnt make any difference, except in older cars and imported ones, and ethanol increases octane levels
Been running 2 stroke oil in my port injected truck and direct injected car for many years. Both have factory emissions equipment, no issues. I notice that the cylinders stay much cleaner and I get slightly better mpg. Interesting to see your results
I knew a guy who when selling rattly old petrol engines he'd tip a litre of diesel in the tank as he said it'd give it a little top end lubrication and shut it up... I once did it accidentally on a clapped out Chinese bike I was running and sure enough it did seem to dampen the clatter a little.
Yup jay Leno puts some ATF fluid in the tanks of his older vehicles for the same reason...plus it's great for keeping the fuel system clean with today's gasoline if your rides sit for some time between use
For ages I was adding acetone (AcMe) to gasoline. But less is more. More will have "more power" but fuel efficiency drops. The recommended dosage was 4oz per 10gal, so when getting ~14gal of gasoline, I'd add maybe 5oz or so. Before, turning the wheels to the extreme left and "uphill" to pull out of my parking spot, I could try letting it idle out, and it would chug-chug-chug and slowly pull out in small pulses. After adding AcMe, not only was idle noticeably smoother, but it would pull out of the spot and get to 3-4mph without even touching the accelerator. What AcMe does is make the gasoline easier to light up, so that if you have fouled plugs, are running too-low octane, etc., it would smooth out the engine and it would just purr. Even or especially in cold weather, the engine would light up *so* quickly, that a short turn of the key would instantly start it vs cranking a few seconds. But again, less is more. Measure gas mileage for a few tankfuls before anything, then start adding a consistent and small amount, and again measure several tankfuls.
@@KevinJames-yg9eu More complete combustion. Back when my old 4-banger had a vacuum leak, the #1 plug was completely fouled and #2 was getting there. Would barely stay lit unless you'd get it revving, at least 'til it'd go closed-loop and "adjust" itself. That's when I first tried adding AcMe, and the engine ran way smoother when still cold, until I could get the hose replaced.
@@KevinJames-yg9eu I think that knock (pre-detonation) is purely heat induced, whereas this is just making it easier to light from a spark. So I don't think there's a comparison to be made. But I'm no expert so I could easily be wrong.
My dad used to carry a can of acetone when we would go on long road trips and add about 4oz to each tank when we filled up. He said it improved our mileage by about 5 MPG. Pretty impressive for nail polish remover 😅
During the 00's gas price spikes, many fuel economy discussions arose. This was one of the tricks. Supposedly by adding a certain percentage of acetone it increases fuel economy.
2stroke oil is great for your old 4stroke motorcycle fuel, making it run leaner and giving it better compression with upper cylinder lubricant, also works great for modern engines, fi etc, but a secret trick is to add less than 5% diesel to your 4stroke fuel injection engine to make it run leaner, because the oxygen sensor says "unburned fuel in exhaust" and just injects less petrol, so it gets leaner and hotter in the combustion chamber, which actually burns the diesel completely so it doesn't build up in the sump like a carburetor 4stroke will do, with diesel added.
I used (and stil use) mixture of Xylene and Acetone in high compression engine , not so much to up octane number but to 'control combustion' to prevent engine knock/pinging . Xylene i add more and Acetone little less , Acetone is mainly interesting becaus it bonds to the bigger fuel molecules and splits them to more finer molecules addind to complete and easier fuel mixture burn . It is good adding it in small quantity to the fuel as it can reduce fuel consumption to a degree . Too much of both Xylene or Acetone is not so good long term because it dries/washes off oil from the cylinder walls . Octane boosters are often mixtures of Xylene and Toluene with majority of the bottle content being 'filler' like hydro light Naphta or similar , some better/expensive also contain MMT . I suggest trying aromatics so Xylene and/or Toluene , you will be suprised by results especially on high comptession engine :)
It is criminal that you didn't test 5 of them together. 2 stroke engine oil to boost the compression, acetone to give higher octane value, turpentine to increase the power more (and produce heat), ethanol to cool down the engine so the turpentine doesn't melt the pistons and rest being gasoline. Those results would have been super interesting to see.
@@williamhill7999 Not directly. Most 2-stroke oils have a required amount of detergents in them to prevent carbon buildup from the un-used oil. Those detergents probably cleaned off the piston rings and restored the compression back to factory levels. Marine 2-stroke oil is the best for this application in 4-stroke engines.
@@EnwardJimoh crap then the 2 stroke oil under that assumption isnt going to do anything for FE in a brand new engine. I was hoping you were going to say the PIB in the oil is how the FE increased. Bummer. I need to get more FE out of a brand new motor.
The Acetone apparently helps by making the fuel atomise and burn better. Ive been using it at a rate of 2ml acetone to a litre of petrol. Its so good that it helps me pass emissions tests with a decat free flow exhaust. In fact the readings are slightly lower than with the cat !!
Is it better than the 10% they show? Ive tried 10% 2stroke oil I noticed reduces engine braking, and acceleration is smoother in that car feels a bit floaty, on the bike it makes it easier to hold steady rpm at long uphills
Thanks for your experiment, I can show it to people saying higher octane is better that it's not the case with most modern engines. Using what manufacturer recommended is always the best option.
Before watching, acetone makes more difference in a tuned and high compression engine which this isnt however there will be a small performance increase mostly due to the cleansing properties and partly due to increased octane rating, 20% acetone will take 92 octane up to about 98 or 100 but in a stock engine without additional tuning it costs more than its worth. In the UK anyway
I remember throwing mulitple cans of octane booster into my UZZ31 Toyota Soarer with the 1UZ. It did respond up to a point, whereby the engine was much quicker & smoother to rev. I'd done other mods too such as a full header back exhaust and a piggy back ECU.
My Honda J32A2 engine also seems to really like higher octane fuel. I used to think it ran really well on Russian "mid-grade", but the local premium was a game changer (in terms of smoothness, low to mid range engine performance, and peak horsepower as well).
Here in the stays we have Marvin's mystery oil. Not sure if you have it there, but you can add it to the oil or the gas. I put it in the gas. It works utterly amazing. Love it try it sometime search
I use a high performance synthetic 2 stroke oil in my Rotax 604 motorcycle engine, this engine is a 600cc 4 stroke single and I use oil at the ratio of 150 to 1 . Over high mileage I find bore and piston ring wear to be almost non existent and there is never any carbon deposits in the combustion chamber or top the piston other than a brown stain that just wipes off with a little solvent on a rag. Synthetic 2 cycle oil works well in a 4 stroke at lean ratios to eliminate wear in the cylinder and I 100% recommend it
2stroke oil is designed to not burn very easily, so that it has great lubrication properties right through the process, and if your cars fuel injection, it will treat the 2stroke in the exhaust manifold as unburned fuel, so it will adjust the injectors for a leaner mixture to suit, which will cause higher combustion chamber temperature and burn all access oil in the exhaust, but might seem less power because of less petrol being used and oil isn't as efficient burn as petrol, but in the process it will burn slower and cause a higher octane combustion, that is smoother and more consistent.
It went up maybe if you were feeding it fule with oil in it, you squirt some oil in to test bore compression,, that's the same thing, love the videos mate
My 2 kopeks. First this engine is fuel injected, so it has the tendancy to level the performances. 2d acetone cleaned everything in the engine, and all the products tested afterwards got a boost from that particular test
I would love to see you guys combine the additives used in the 3 fastest tests, with the gas to see what that would do for example acetone octane booster and gas with a tad bit of oil to up the compression at the same time.
The issue being that the ECU will adjust the amount of fuel released automatically making the tests.. more or less just a test of how effective your ecu is at subtracting fuel to prevent over pressure.
2-stroke oil dissolves carbon deposits from the rings, freeing them. Stuck rings are bad for compression. Marine 2 stroke oil burns fine in water-cooled car engines. 1-2% is safe
@@S.ASmith It's widely used as a paint stripper, and in fuel system cleaners, meant to clean out sludge. However, yes, it DOES add a bit more oomph to the fuel. I used to work at an autoparts store and one of the old timers who was a regular, said back in the day they added it to their racecars for this very reason. That's why I always use Berryman's, because A) it works great, but B) it helps performance just on its own. 😁 I always put two cans of it in my 1990 Chevy Suburban (4x4) with its 38 gal tank and 195,000 miles on its 5.7L V8 _(two can treat slightly more than 38 gallons)._ Highway driving through the mountains to my cabin, plus a bit of driving in town, and it *_still_* manages 15-17 MPG!
@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE I use Toluene in my Focus ST doing 305 BHP. It will do 310 with Toluene mixed into 99 RON (93 Oct in the US) and bump Octane to 105 or there abouts. I can get ethanol free petrol/gas though so I can premix a full tank with 5-10% Toluene. Mannol octane booster is essentially, just toluene. Many of the marketted octane boosters are. 15-17 MPG is low, but US Gallon not Imperial Gallon, would probably be 19-20 MPG in the UK, pretty good for a big heavy 4x4 truck from the 1990s. My 4 cylinder turbo petrol engine does 30-40 MPG driving normally, spirited between 18-25 MPG, on track, between 7 and 10 MPG. Knock off about 3 MPG from my figures to get the US gallon figure.
@@S.ASmith For a very heavy truck with a very tired motor, it's getting WAY better fuel economy than it should be! 😅 There's a government (USA) page where you can look up the fuel economy of vehicles, from present day, back into the 80s. My truck's BRAND NEW fuel economy was 14 City / 19 Hwy / 16 Combined. Back before I started using it, it was only getting ~14 MPG doing the same trips. (which is using 87 octane 15% Ethanol fuel) Toluene is good stuff, as your numbers reflect! Petty damn impressive improvement. I believe the concerns with using it (besides emissions), are that it burns hotter and likely most O-Rings could get dried out from it _(namely, fuel injector O-Rings)._ The latter is a similar issue with running 85% Ethanol, if the vehicle wasn't design for it. Although I think the plastic fuel line are also a point of concern, if memory serves me.
@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE Indeed. We don't get 85% EtOH fuel in the UK. O rings can dry out, but regular maintenance stops mishaps. And your truck certainly does get very good fuel economy, especially the age of it!
Love to see a comparison of fuel additives like Canola, peanut, olive, caster , sunflower, vegetable, rice bran, 2 stoke mineral, 2 stroke synthetic oils in mixes from 300:1, 100::1:50:1 25: 1 fuel / oil mix using E10 fuel
This was something I was quite surprised to learn actually (when I was reading through a thread on an Acura forum the other day). Why do they add ethanol the gasoline in the States?
I remember when they switched and in tank fuel pumps started failing. I went into a parts store and the had a large pile of new fuel pumps. It was bad news.
Few years back, my father put acetone and methanol blend to gas of our moded turbo car and we rised the boost from 27pounds all the way up to 35 pounds without having any knocks in my HP Tuners ( my Chevrolet tuning tool) The methanol doesn't blend with gas but with addition of the acetone it apparently blend with the gas. Don't know how the hell I knew that blend recipe but he lurned that way before 2000s era and internet.
The old timers in my area used airplane gas and a touch of diesel for a little more acceleration and power . Also i tried mothballs once a day or 2 passes you get an interesting result... Старожилы в моем районе использовали авиационный бензин и немного дизельного топлива для немного большего ускорения и мощности. Еще я пробовала нафталин один раз в день или 2 прохода, получился интересный результат...
I wonder if running all the stuff just cleaned the engine and injectors. Maybe if you reran the baseline fuel after all of that and see it it was just the cleaning that made it better.
Try BTX gasoline. Benzene, Toulene, Xylene. Mix all in equal parts with about a 1/4 liter acetone per 4 liters total. Perfect amount of acetone is not required. High octane and all the rage in late 70s dirt bike racing. Fun video!
Using two stroke oil with your fuel works well. It will not fowl you plugs etc as long as you use marine grade two stroke oil, as this burns with out leaving carbon. Your engine will run smoother and use less fuel too.
Acetone with 2 stroke oil. Acetone should keep everything clean. I would just be worried it would melt some of the plastics used in the assemblies in the fuel system.
these results could be skewed, as the rank might be emptied and aired but as it's not really cleaned out things might be left and mixed, plus the lines and engine also have some left of previous test... Also: since the engine and lines weren't checked between runs (and exhausts measured) you don't know if the car simply ran better or worse because additive clogged up lines/engine or the opposite, cleaned it (which in all fairness could be great solution for this short run, but you might need to go back to regular fuel to prolong life) -of course measuring the exhaust would tell if you would be putting out more or less poisonous gasses and maybe other unexpected outcomes

Garage 54 for the win how about ...marvel mystery oil added to oiling system and gasoline ( can be added to both ) or "engine restore" to bump up the compression
One time in a desperate pinch I ran my 2liter Isuzu 4x4 Holden rodeo on a mix of Mentholated spirits, paint thinner, acetone and even kerosene and about 5% petrol. It was running at higher rpm at idle and every so often I’d her a hissing sound that would stop and start. I got to my destination about 30kms away and filled up with regular petrol and it returned back to normal. Totally possible but probably doing damage to the engine.
With added compression and proper adjustment to fuel to air ratios, higher octane can help boost power. Beyond that, less energy rich fuels promote slightly combustion and fuels with a higher hydrogen to carbon ratio make more power as a rule. Methanol can make about 45% more power than conventional hydrocarbon fuels with increased compression and proper mixture due to the aforementioned properties of higher octane, lower fuel content and high H to C content.
I did this to my 86 toyota pickup on a trip from Idaho to Arizona only adding a couple of ounces to every fill up and i was very happy with the gas mileage who knows if it actually did anything
Toluene is the best aditive, but you have to raise the compression ratio to take advantage of it. The F1 turbo cars in the 80's ran 85% toluene 15% petrol. I tried acetone in my 2 stroke dirt bike years ago. All it did was constantly foul the spark plug.
My theoretical in this termination is the oil didn’t do anything except for lubricate your throttle valve so it can actually properly close so you get more compression and also that shaft there never gets lubricated properly so when it does, it does some wild shit
This is why the compression rised after running with two stroke oil: in the 1970 some studies were made that a ratio of 1:15 would lead to more power than a 1:25 or 1:40 mix ratio in 2 stroke engines. After serching for a long time the scientict foumd out that because of the thiccer fuel the compression raised, ant therefore the hp. So the car could really be a little bit faster. My personally thought is that as it was running on very poor quality bencin the combustion chamber was full of tars and unburned carbons, especially in the Valves!! 2 Stroke oil not only PERFECTLY cleans carbons out of your engine, and with 2 stroke oil the exhaust temps are slighy higher so the heat maybe glowed away the rest. And also, a good quality 2 stroke oil does no combust, it fully evaporates. This is the beyt way to cool a two stroke, and burning 2 stroke oil results in carbon dirt all over your motor (that is what happens when you run a too rich mix)
I wonder if carbon deposits from the 2-cycle oil took up some clearance volume, to raise the compression? I can't imagine too much, considering the small amount of it burnt, and the short period of time. The engine, running wide open throttle, would have much less accumulation, than if it idled, or was driven slowly around town.

Yep pretty much. I'd like to see what happens in the long run with a lower dose of oil. Probably not a bad regimen on a new engine either if it weren't for the idea of screwing with sensors. Upper cylinder lube has always been a concern with 4 strokes... nothing up there will complain about a little extra oil except the plug. It's really the deposits that would shut it down. But I figure at a low enough concentration, it would have an improvement effect without doing too much deposit wise.
I'm thinking maybe 500:1 or so.

Should of done one last test , everything mixed together
Yes, we need a follow up of this. I would say the mixture should be:
- (90% of the recommended octane booster amount) so 13mL of it
-same amount of oil
-half amount of acetone
-10-20% turpentine (to make the oil residue burn off due to higher combustion temperature, and the oil should protect the engine)
-Rest should be Gasoline
My thought, too.

I was thinking the same thing when the compression was significantly up after the first test with the 2 cycle oil- those full throttle runs likely just burned some carbon off the valves and rings, improving their seal. It's also possible the improvements seen with acetone could have been as a result of it cleaning the fuel system. It would have been interesting to see a final acceleration run and compression test on pure gasoline to see if the improvements were still there.
Video idea: what happens if you dont torque the bolts when buiding a engine
Seems self explanatory, would be great to see though.
I can tell you exactly what will happen as I've seen someone do just this. Rapid disassembly and free inspection holes in the block
A lot depends on which bolts and how much. You can get away with doing this on the lower part of the engine for a while but the top end will likely not start due to air leaks.
Hilarious
It runs like a Lada
Where I come from it used to be quite common for people to add mothballs to their gas. These mothballs contained naphthalene, which will increase the fuel octane level and has been used for such since at least the 30s, but it does of course come with some caveats. For one thing, I'm fairly sure it resulted in chlorine gas being a bi-product of either the naphthalene or some other component of the balls, along with the usual things you'd expect like carbon deposits being a possibility. It had a distinct aroma when burned, so you could always tell when a car went by with mothballs in the tank.
Test what happens if you add Nitromethane to petrol, if you get a boost using it
I already suggested that weeks ago. You are not the first
It will actually run worse as it will create a very lean condition. Nitromethane needs lots more cc of fuel for the same quantity of air. To get any improvement you will need at least 3 times the fuel flow for the same amount of air being pulled into the engine. Nitromethane molecules are a lot smaller than a hydrocarbon molecule. Thats why top fuel funny cars have superchargers, not because the supercharger is increasing power, but is nessesary to pump the amount of air into the engine that the nitromethane needs to make a proper mixture.
@@SebastianLong nice, I run nitromethane on my RCs lol, and it makes a huge difference, of course the engine is two stroke and run on methanol.
th-cam.com/video/kVqAleV9Rvk/w-d-xo.html
@@SebastianLongnot true. You can literally mix vp race fuel to 87 pump gas and create your own octane. I do it often with my Audi bc it’s turbo and I can make 96+ cheaper. You can easily mix them and run any car just fine as it would if you put premium or super in a normal vehicle. The benefit wouldn’t be there like it is in high compression engines.
In Brazil its not that uncommon to see some unknown fluids in our Gaosoline. Nice test
Added a small amount of paint thinner to some older gas in a can I found in my garage. Put it in my Lexus is300 and made it about 2 miles before the thinner ate the internals of the fuel pump. 2/10 would not recommend
Yea that might be bad 😕
In rally competition they often added tholuene to the gas for a turbo car (Evo's, Subbies.)
That gave more knock resistance and allowed higher boost.
They also used it in F1 turbo engines in the 1980's.
The unfortunate thing is the tholuene is toxic. Oops!
Just use redex like the rest of us and I always put a bottle of petrol booster and cleaner to every tank
'Toluene'
Oil seals the rings. Acetone improves the burn and stops detonation
I add 1 liter of acetone to 70 liters of diesel. to benz OM642 diesel engine, time to time. it operates smoother and quiter. on long runs with a relatively constant speed, fuel ecomony gets better during that trip.
the same effect petrol has
When I had my volvo d5 diesel I added when I was going to the gas station some 2 stroke oil, the engine runs smoothly because it makes the diesel smearing capacity better, because here it's al biodiesel.. the car is still on the read, I thought it has around 900.000 km, first engine, first pump..
Is acetone enough to clean EGR deposits??
I also add some acetone, however a lot less than you, on a 1.5dci Renault engine (K9K-732). I'd be scared of pouring 1l though as it might damage the o-rings and plastics in the fuel line, so I'm adding around 50ml to a full tank. There was also a test somewhere online about the impact of acetone, and they said around 1:1000 is the best ratio for best fuel atomization, and fuel consumption. More than that and you get negative results, at least on the power/fuel consumption side.
I also mix it with 450ml of 2-stroke oil (JASO FD standard as it doesn't impact the catalytic converter -or DPF but I don't have that on mine-) and pour it in before refueling so it mixes properly. I've been doing this since I got the car at around 80k km, and now it has 220k km and the engine is in perfect shape. Stock everything on the fuel line and main engine parts.
I also give it redlines as often as I get the chance, that's always good for a diesel.
@@B.Bogdan You'd probably get the same of better results using injector cleaner now and again and using premium diesel
Thanks from Canada, you answered alot of questions for me' I used to add diesel fuel to my old Yamaha 500 XL when the temperature went to aroind +40C, if I had ratio good I would lose my predetonation, too much and it ran like shit. Keep up the curiousity, people are always trying to save money on cars.

Getting around the sanctions was easy. They've basically already accomplished that. All they had to do was switch up who they trade with and use other countries as middle men to import previously banned goods.

You should really repeat that baseline test at the end, if it would be around that 17.6 that you've got at the beginning then we can talk about an improvement, otherwise 1 second difference with that long time as a baseline is possible due to better start, less slip at the launch, and plenty of other factors.
I agree. I not surprised they didn't do another base line. They tend to over due the "build" and under do the testing. Maybe in Russia if your video is over 20mins no one watches it idk
Yeah, I think that the acetone cleaned the injectors, hence the better elapsed time. He should have tried with straight gasoline right after the acetone run. I'm pretty sure he'd still get 16.8, but now we'll never know.
So glad you are back. Back on the world stage. Cars without borders.
Your imagination and creativity never cease to amaze. Thanks for all your great videos.
That oil and gas mixture perfect for rotary engine
Another old school trick is add a gallon of diesel to every 10 gallons of petrol if its engine wear. It also works the other way if you have a good diesel, add a gallon of petrol to a nearly full tank of diesel, it makes a slightly hotter burn which increases power ad torque

Acetone can increase the burn efficiency of gasoline slightly.
Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas can help lubricate the compression rings and help a bit on power. Helps the rings last a bit longer too.
Gotta love this channel…thanks guys from NZ
Hey, can you guys make a see through Air Conditioning system? I think it would be really cool to see how the refrigerant acts. I saw your see through shock video and thought of this.
That would be really "cool" 😊 but seriously I would also like to see that.
Yes please! There are sight glass in some systems but not enough can be seen !
Can that even be possible
Air conditioning systems often see pressures around and occasionally above 350psi. Make that out of clear plastic and you're basically asking for it to explode.
@@Max_ChoochIt's no different than those plastic cylinder heads
These guys are great love. Watching all the different things they do to cars.
I worked with a guy that routinely added acetone to his gasoline. I don't know the ratio but he claimed a 5mpg increase.
Hand to laugh, 'runs like hell untill the pistons melt'. Thanks,i neededthat. Love this channel .👍
I ran my 2t bike on polyurethane solvent for a few months until there was no more solvent left. It ran well with a very slight decrease in power. Between 1 and 5%, I would guess. The fuel economy was MUCH lower though. Maybe a decrease of 20 to 30%.
That happened without ANY adjustments to the carb. Had I known what I know now, I probably would've been able to get the power loss back and definetly would've improved on such a loss in fuel economy.
the only thing you melt with acetone is rubber seals
I experimented with acetone in turbo saab 9-5s for a while and definitely saw MPG increases. I would add about a cap full of acetone, there were charts online that showed the best mix ratios, it doesn't take too much.
ya he probably got the idea from kipkays weekend project channel. i think he was the first one to make a video about it increasing your mpg like 15 years ago. think his video is still up. he was also the youtuber who switched to making fake videos so i feel like its mostly psychological. chemically i dont think it cleans anything extra, its pretty similar polarity to ethanol already in most fuels. it does have higher vapor pressure though, but not sure if a signfiicant amount would actually increase the risk of knock since its easier to flash off. also, a lot of those additives can have good or bad effects on the catalytic converter. 1980s style cats which run much hotter are liable to melt. the newer ones might get a cleaning since they accumulate more carbon.
10:02 youre saying its a popular thing, but here in Brazil the regular gasoline comes with "only" 35% of Ethanol 😅 we dont even know pure gasoline... When for 2stroke, we put a bit of water, mix it, and let it sit for a day to separate the ethanol 😂
27% ainda
at least all engines in brazilian cars are made to support both ethanol and gasoline, so the presence of ethanol in gas doesnt make any difference, except in older cars and imported ones, and ethanol increases octane levels
@elisa_5445 yup increases octane levels but also increases fuel consumption unfortunately
Can whiz 3 breaks
If you remove the ethanol, you also lower the octane rating.
Been running 2 stroke oil in my port injected truck and direct injected car for many years. Both have factory emissions equipment, no issues. I notice that the cylinders stay much cleaner and I get slightly better mpg. Interesting to see your results
Awesome! With love from the UK!
This channel is great. Thank you for the translation.
Well done. I love watching your experiments. Keep up the good work team.
I knew a guy who when selling rattly old petrol engines he'd tip a litre of diesel in the tank as he said it'd give it a little top end lubrication and shut it up... I once did it accidentally on a clapped out Chinese bike I was running and sure enough it did seem to dampen the clatter a little.
Yup jay Leno puts some ATF fluid in the tanks of his older vehicles for the same reason...plus it's great for keeping the fuel system clean with today's gasoline if your rides sit for some time between use
awww. forgot to mix all the fuels together and then do a final run 😥 Great video Thank you 2 👍👍
For ages I was adding acetone (AcMe) to gasoline. But less is more. More will have "more power" but fuel efficiency drops. The recommended dosage was 4oz per 10gal, so when getting ~14gal of gasoline, I'd add maybe 5oz or so.
Before, turning the wheels to the extreme left and "uphill" to pull out of my parking spot, I could try letting it idle out, and it would chug-chug-chug and slowly pull out in small pulses. After adding AcMe, not only was idle noticeably smoother, but it would pull out of the spot and get to 3-4mph without even touching the accelerator.
What AcMe does is make the gasoline easier to light up, so that if you have fouled plugs, are running too-low octane, etc., it would smooth out the engine and it would just purr. Even or especially in cold weather, the engine would light up *so* quickly, that a short turn of the key would instantly start it vs cranking a few seconds. But again, less is more. Measure gas mileage for a few tankfuls before anything, then start adding a consistent and small amount, and again measure several tankfuls.
Eh... wouldn't making "the gasoline easier to light up" be the exact opposite of raising the octane rating?
@@KevinJames-yg9eu More complete combustion. Back when my old 4-banger had a vacuum leak, the #1 plug was completely fouled and #2 was getting there. Would barely stay lit unless you'd get it revving, at least 'til it'd go closed-loop and "adjust" itself.
That's when I first tried adding AcMe, and the engine ran way smoother when still cold, until I could get the hose replaced.
@@KevinJames-yg9eu I think that knock (pre-detonation) is purely heat induced, whereas this is just making it easier to light from a spark.
So I don't think there's a comparison to be made. But I'm no expert so I could easily be wrong.
I found that adding 1/2 ounce per gallon works best too. And easier to calculate how much.
@@marciewalko8679is your profile pic Gods promise rainbow, or demonic fruitcake takeover?
My dad used to carry a can of acetone when we would go on long road trips and add about 4oz to each tank when we filled up. He said it improved our mileage by about 5 MPG. Pretty impressive for nail polish remover 😅
The benefits of higher octane only come if the tune can take advantage of it.
During the 00's gas price spikes, many fuel economy discussions arose. This was one of the tricks. Supposedly by adding a certain percentage of acetone it increases fuel economy.
WOW that GNSS/GPS receiver updates fast!
2stroke oil is great for your old 4stroke motorcycle fuel, making it run leaner and giving it better compression with upper cylinder lubricant, also works great for modern engines, fi etc, but a secret trick is to add less than 5% diesel to your 4stroke fuel injection engine to make it run leaner, because the oxygen sensor says "unburned fuel in exhaust" and just injects less petrol, so it gets leaner and hotter in the combustion chamber, which actually burns the diesel completely so it doesn't build up in the sump like a carburetor 4stroke will do, with diesel added.
I used (and stil use) mixture of Xylene and Acetone in high compression engine , not so much to up octane number but to 'control combustion' to prevent engine knock/pinging . Xylene i add more and Acetone little less , Acetone is mainly interesting becaus it bonds to the bigger fuel molecules and splits them to more finer molecules addind to complete and easier fuel mixture burn . It is good adding it in small quantity to the fuel as it can reduce fuel consumption to a degree . Too much of both Xylene or Acetone is not so good long term because it dries/washes off oil from the cylinder walls . Octane boosters are often mixtures of Xylene and Toluene with majority of the bottle content being 'filler' like hydro light Naphta or similar , some better/expensive also contain MMT . I suggest trying aromatics so Xylene and/or Toluene , you will be suprised by results especially on high comptession engine :)
It is criminal that you didn't test 5 of them together. 2 stroke engine oil to boost the compression, acetone to give higher octane value, turpentine to increase the power more (and produce heat), ethanol to cool down the engine so the turpentine doesn't melt the pistons and rest being gasoline. Those results would have been super interesting to see.
does 2 stroke engine oil into fuel really boost compression?!?!?!?
@@williamhill7999 Not directly. Most 2-stroke oils have a required amount of detergents in them to prevent carbon buildup from the un-used oil. Those detergents probably cleaned off the piston rings and restored the compression back to factory levels. Marine 2-stroke oil is the best for this application in 4-stroke engines.
@@EnwardJimoh crap then the 2 stroke oil under that assumption isnt going to do anything for FE in a brand new engine. I was hoping you were going to say the PIB in the oil is how the FE increased. Bummer. I need to get more FE out of a brand new motor.
@@CognacKidd The lubricity and cushioning effect of the 2-stroke oil might still help a new engine, just not as well as it would with an old engine.
@@EnwardJim okay thanks ill try it.
The Acetone apparently helps by making the fuel atomise and burn better. Ive been using it at a rate of 2ml acetone to a litre of petrol. Its so good that it helps me pass emissions tests with a decat free flow exhaust. In fact the readings are slightly lower than with the cat !!
Is it better than the 10% they show?
Ive tried 10% 2stroke oil I noticed reduces engine braking, and acceleration is smoother in that car feels a bit floaty, on the bike it makes it easier to hold steady rpm at long uphills
@@mydroidid I think it was a bit more
i add a little oil to my e85 so it does not rust my components as easily and i do make a slight bit more power it actually works quite well
Knock sensors exist to adjust for different octanes. Disable the knock sensors and try again to see major changes s.a. pinging or head flying off
Thanks for your experiment, I can show it to people saying higher octane is better that it's not the case with most modern engines. Using what manufacturer recommended is always the best option.
8:18 maybe the oil helped make the seal of the cyllinder better and that's why the compression got better??
Yeah 100%. Mechanic approved 👌😅🤣
It's a way to check if it's the rings or something else is loosing the compression.
Cheers from Texas
Before watching, acetone makes more difference in a tuned and high compression engine which this isnt however there will be a small performance increase mostly due to the cleansing properties and partly due to increased octane rating, 20% acetone will take 92 octane up to about 98 or 100 but in a stock engine without additional tuning it costs more than its worth. In the UK anyway
I remember throwing mulitple cans of octane booster into my UZZ31 Toyota Soarer with the 1UZ. It did respond up to a point, whereby the engine was much quicker & smoother to rev. I'd done other mods too such as a full header back exhaust and a piggy back ECU.
My Honda J32A2 engine also seems to really like higher octane fuel. I used to think it ran really well on Russian "mid-grade", but the local premium was a game changer (in terms of smoothness, low to mid range engine performance, and peak horsepower as well).
In Brazil we have between 25-30% ethanol in gasoline at the gas station. But can use 100% ethanol. All cars is Flex Cars.
Here in the stays we have Marvin's mystery oil. Not sure if you have it there, but you can add it to the oil or the gas. I put it in the gas. It works utterly amazing. Love it try it sometime search
Marvel
Acetone works well to boost octane rating. Worked especially well on small engines and older carburated engines.
I use a high performance synthetic 2 stroke oil in my Rotax 604 motorcycle engine, this engine is a 600cc 4 stroke single and I use oil at the ratio of 150 to 1 . Over high mileage I find bore and piston ring wear to be almost non existent and there is never any carbon deposits in the combustion chamber or top the piston other than a brown stain that just wipes off with a little solvent on a rag. Synthetic 2 cycle oil works well in a 4 stroke at lean ratios to eliminate wear in the cylinder and I 100% recommend it
2stroke oil is designed to not burn very easily, so that it has great lubrication properties right through the process, and if your cars fuel injection, it will treat the 2stroke in the exhaust manifold as unburned fuel, so it will adjust the injectors for a leaner mixture to suit, which will cause higher combustion chamber temperature and burn all access oil in the exhaust, but might seem less power because of less petrol being used and oil isn't as efficient burn as petrol, but in the process it will burn slower and cause a higher octane combustion, that is smoother and more consistent.
It went up maybe if you were feeding it fule with oil in it, you squirt some oil in to test bore compression,, that's the same thing, love the videos mate

Diesel 8s oil
I ran my 19476 Ford Jailbar on straight diesel for 18+ years. No gasoline.
My 2 kopeks. First this engine is fuel injected, so it has the tendancy to level the performances. 2d acetone cleaned everything in the engine, and all the products tested afterwards got a boost from that particular test
I would love to see you guys combine the additives used in the 3 fastest tests, with the gas to see what that would do for example acetone octane booster and gas with a tad bit of oil to up the compression at the same time.
The issue being that the ECU will adjust the amount of fuel released automatically making the tests.. more or less just a test of how effective your ecu is at subtracting fuel to prevent over pressure.
Some vehicles have return and some have returnless fuel systems but the ECU will still adjust how much the injectors shoot out
He does some cool stuff. I like the things he does.👍✌️
For power adder high octane you need to increase the ignition timing to make more power. Cheers!
2-stroke oil dissolves carbon deposits from the rings, freeing them. Stuck rings are bad for compression. Marine 2 stroke oil burns fine in water-cooled car engines. 1-2% is safe
Had you added Toluene, you would've basically had Berryman's B12 Fuel System Cleaner.
Toluene is an octane booster, used for race fuel. it's over 115 RON.
@@S.ASmith It's widely used as a paint stripper, and in fuel system cleaners, meant to clean out sludge.
However, yes, it DOES add a bit more oomph to the fuel. I used to work at an autoparts store and one of the old timers who was a regular, said back in the day they added it to their racecars for this very reason.
That's why I always use Berryman's, because A) it works great, but B) it helps performance just on its own. 😁
I always put two cans of it in my 1990 Chevy Suburban (4x4) with its 38 gal tank and 195,000 miles on its 5.7L V8 _(two can treat slightly more than 38 gallons)._ Highway driving through the mountains to my cabin, plus a bit of driving in town, and it *_still_* manages 15-17 MPG!
@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE I use Toluene in my Focus ST doing 305 BHP. It will do 310 with Toluene mixed into 99 RON (93 Oct in the US) and bump Octane to 105 or there abouts. I can get ethanol free petrol/gas though so I can premix a full tank with 5-10% Toluene.
Mannol octane booster is essentially, just toluene. Many of the marketted octane boosters are.
15-17 MPG is low, but US Gallon not Imperial Gallon, would probably be 19-20 MPG in the UK, pretty good for a big heavy 4x4 truck from the 1990s.
My 4 cylinder turbo petrol engine does 30-40 MPG driving normally, spirited between 18-25 MPG, on track, between 7 and 10 MPG. Knock off about 3 MPG from my figures to get the US gallon figure.
@@S.ASmith For a very heavy truck with a very tired motor, it's getting WAY better fuel economy than it should be! 😅
There's a government (USA) page where you can look up the fuel economy of vehicles, from present day, back into the 80s. My truck's BRAND NEW fuel economy was 14 City / 19 Hwy / 16 Combined.
Back before I started using it, it was only getting ~14 MPG doing the same trips. (which is using 87 octane 15% Ethanol fuel)
Toluene is good stuff, as your numbers reflect! Petty damn impressive improvement.
I believe the concerns with using it (besides emissions), are that it burns hotter and likely most O-Rings could get dried out from it _(namely, fuel injector O-Rings)._
The latter is a similar issue with running 85% Ethanol, if the vehicle wasn't design for it. Although I think the plastic fuel line are also a point of concern, if memory serves me.
@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE Indeed. We don't get 85% EtOH fuel in the UK. O rings can dry out, but regular maintenance stops mishaps. And your truck certainly does get very good fuel economy, especially the age of it!
America here, We love your channel. Could you not listen to our corrupt Government?
So what if you had some 15 year old regular 87 gas ? Would adding something like premium or any of these rejuvenate it enough to be used?
that 2stroke oil on fuel probably help to seal the compression
Some epic editing in this video! GAME ON! 👍
Older motorcycles often add a little two stroke oil to the fuel to help older engines run better.

The ethanol test is funny to us in the US. Almost all our gas has ethanol in it.
This was something I was quite surprised to learn actually (when I was reading through a thread on an Acura forum the other day). Why do they add ethanol the gasoline in the States?

I remember when they switched and in tank fuel pumps started failing. I went into a parts store and the had a large pile of new fuel pumps. It was bad news.
Try using moth balls inside the air filter box as an octane booster, for a 1.6L engine 4 balls should be sufficient, should last for about 60Km
Hey 54 great stuff! Id be willing to bet you gad some stuck rings that freed up, also the oil in the gas could help the rings seal better.
Few years back, my father put acetone and methanol blend to gas of our moded turbo car and we rised the boost from 27pounds all the way up to 35 pounds without having any knocks in my HP Tuners ( my Chevrolet tuning tool)
The methanol doesn't blend with gas but with addition of the acetone it apparently blend with the gas.
Don't know how the hell I knew that blend recipe but he lurned that way before 2000s era and internet.
The old timers in my area used airplane gas and a touch of diesel for a little more acceleration and power . Also i tried mothballs once a day or 2 passes you get an interesting result... Старожилы в моем районе использовали авиационный бензин и немного дизельного топлива для немного большего ускорения и мощности. Еще я пробовала нафталин один раз в день или 2 прохода, получился интересный результат...
I wonder if running all the stuff just cleaned the engine and injectors. Maybe if you reran the baseline fuel after all of that and see it it was just the cleaning that made it better.
Turpentine and acetone together works awesome
Try BTX gasoline. Benzene, Toulene, Xylene. Mix all in equal parts with about a 1/4 liter acetone per 4 liters total. Perfect amount of acetone is not required. High octane and all the rage in late 70s dirt bike racing. Fun video!
Using two stroke oil with your fuel works well. It will not fowl you plugs etc as long as you use marine grade two stroke oil, as this burns with out leaving carbon. Your engine will run smoother and use less fuel too.
Should have tried 98 octane fuel as comparison but great stuff and keep up the great work you do.
Acetone with 2 stroke oil. Acetone should keep everything clean. I would just be worried it would melt some of the plastics used in the assemblies in the fuel system.
these results could be skewed, as the rank might be emptied and aired but as it's not really cleaned out things might be left and mixed, plus the lines and engine also have some left of previous test...
Also: since the engine and lines weren't checked between runs (and exhausts measured) you don't know if the car simply ran better or worse because additive clogged up lines/engine or the opposite, cleaned it (which in all fairness could be great solution for this short run, but you might need to go back to regular fuel to prolong life)
-of course measuring the exhaust would tell if you would be putting out more or less poisonous gasses and maybe other unexpected outcomes
I mix naptha and xylene in with my gasoline to make it higher octane, so i can run 30+psi on "pump" gas 😅 30k miles later , and still runs like a raped ape 😅.. lovethe experimental videos tho guys... keep it up ..peace and love all, keep it rad, stay safe, and build on.. l8r famz
Garage 54 for the win
how about ...marvel mystery oil added to oiling system and gasoline ( can be added to both )
or "engine restore" to bump up the compression
The ecu advanced timing because of increased octane by adding acetone, etc
One time in a desperate pinch I ran my 2liter Isuzu 4x4 Holden rodeo on a mix of Mentholated spirits, paint thinner, acetone and even kerosene and about 5% petrol. It was running at higher rpm at idle and every so often I’d her a hissing sound that would stop and start. I got to my destination about 30kms away and filled up with regular petrol and it returned back to normal. Totally possible but probably doing damage to the engine.
Awesome video guys. Totally interesting. Thanks.
A fun video, with some intriguing results.
With added compression and proper adjustment to fuel to air ratios, higher octane can help boost power. Beyond that, less energy rich fuels promote slightly combustion and fuels with a higher hydrogen to carbon ratio make more power as a rule. Methanol can make about 45% more power than conventional hydrocarbon fuels with increased compression and proper mixture due to the aforementioned properties of higher octane, lower fuel content and high H to C content.
I did this to my 86 toyota pickup on a trip from Idaho to Arizona only adding a couple of ounces to every fill up and i was very happy with the gas mileage who knows if it actually did anything
What is this. What u add to your gas?
Toluene is the best aditive, but you have to raise the compression ratio to take advantage of it. The F1 turbo cars in the 80's ran 85% toluene 15% petrol.
I tried acetone in my 2 stroke dirt bike years ago. All it did was constantly foul the spark plug.
My theoretical in this termination is the oil didn’t do anything except for lubricate your throttle valve so it can actually properly close so you get more compression and also that shaft there never gets lubricated properly so when it does, it does some wild shit
Absolutly great! I don't know why, but it said like 20 times "This Video is not aviable". Good there are some tricks.
This is why the compression rised after running with two stroke oil: in the 1970 some studies were made that a ratio of 1:15 would lead to more power than a 1:25 or 1:40 mix ratio in 2 stroke engines. After serching for a long time the scientict foumd out that because of the thiccer fuel the compression raised, ant therefore the hp. So the car could really be a little bit faster. My personally thought is that as it was running on very poor quality bencin the combustion chamber was full of tars and unburned carbons, especially in the Valves!! 2 Stroke oil not only PERFECTLY cleans carbons out of your engine, and with 2 stroke oil the exhaust temps are slighy higher so the heat maybe glowed away the rest. And also, a good quality 2 stroke oil does no combust, it fully evaporates. This is the beyt way to cool a two stroke, and burning 2 stroke oil results in carbon dirt all over your motor (that is what happens when you run a too rich mix)
I wonder if carbon deposits from the 2-cycle oil took up some clearance volume, to raise the compression? I can't imagine too much, considering the small amount of it burnt, and the short period of time. The engine, running wide open throttle, would have much less accumulation, than if it idled, or was driven slowly around town.
