Hi Gang,
Propylene Oxide is a very volatile liquid that is commonly used as a fuel
"heater" ie, cause the fuel to burn faster. Works well with Hydrazine and
helps slow burning fuels burn faster (nitro)........if anybody really
wanted to do that. Can keep the fuel burning at a rate that keeps up with
piston speed at RPMs above 6500 (or so) so a "lean-out" is not required and
timing advance can be kept relatively benign.
Also rather explosive.
Anybody care to add to that? I'd be interested.
