I was tooling around this weekend in my 71 and I was at a parking lot of a
local adult beverage seller when a fellow came up in a custom crotch rocket.
I think it used to be a Kawasaki, anyway, the exhaust smelled a little funny
so after he shut it off and the ground quite shacking I asked him if was
burning Methanol. He said it was aviation fuel ! 140 Octane, he buys it at
the local private airport, this caused me to think,,, what would a couple
gallons of that do in our 8 gallon tanks to the heads and valves or our
spits ?
I would think it would burn very well if it didn't burn the tips off the
plugs or worse burn the valves clean out of the head.
