ALCOHOL (denatured/isopropyl 99) FOR EMISSIONS
Posted: Thu Sep 03, 2009 10:20 pm
I googled mixing ALCOHOL into fuel line to pass emissions and got some threads in some other vehicle forums that mostly supported it as a way to burn off deposits in motor and clean fuel TO PASS EMISSIONS TEST. but most said ONLY TO RUN MIX to emissions center and IMMEDIATELY fill gas tank with gas after test to dilute alchohol mix.
some said ISOPROPYL 99% worked as good as DENATURED.
ive got my truck running cleaner now. but am inclined to try putting 1 quart ISOPROPYL 99% ($5.50 at safeway) into 1 gallon of gas in bottom of empty tank- a couple of blocks away from emission center. hoping this will burn really hot for about 10 minutes of engine time averaging 2500 rpms or less- and then immediately after test pour 5 gallon can of gas into tank and then drive to gas station and fill full.
any experiences, criticisms or warnings on this with 318 and holley carbs appreciated.
