Gasoline Information

[Sanity Challenged]

But you weren't sposed too - I was talking about the GURU that fingered 
out the Stoic of propane of 35 to 1 when if he had just read ( I realize 
that concept is strange to the majority of this list ) any fuels 
reference, it would have dawned on him that Stoic is somewhere around 15 
to 1, depending on how much methane (natural gas) residue and butane 
(varies by season, altitude and economics up to 50 50 butane propane) 
the lpg has.  Then they would look up the latent heat of vaporization 
and know how much cooling an assumed blend has.

And I need not go on about octane and what it represents etc. yada yada 
yada.  

And using a flexible fuel system is not real practical.  Nitro and its 
residue does not blend well with gasoline.  Gasoline and alcohol blend 
very well - untill there is just a little water in the mix and then it 
don't blend.  

A dual fuel system is the only way to go - with completely seperate 
fueling systems - but MAYBE sharing the computer and sensors.  Don't 
count on EGO sensors tho - Nitro and Alcohol have radically different 
exhaust temps and compositions - enuff to fool the dog doo out of the 
sensor if ran in large quantities.  Alcohol exhaust runs much cooler 
than gasoline and nitro is still burning as it passes the exhuast valve 
and finishes decomposition in the exhaust pipe.

Consider the effective octane of Nitro as a negative number. It will 
pre-ignite and detonate radically unless every thing is close to right. 
Remember also about nitro, that it needs NO air to burn.  It is in fact 
a rocket monopropellent.
