Happened to read this Lubes 'n' Greases article "The Whole Thing was Common Sense" in the June issue http://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODE/LNG/ that mentioned how the Lucas Oil Stabilizer really improved performance and am curious as to how effective it really is.

Has anyone heard about this recent "invention" called FuelDaddy the Green Fuel Maximizer? Just curious as it is supposed to do great things.

Has anyone ever heard of using a mixture of acetone and transmission fluid to remove rusted bolts and nuts?

Jet A, Jet A-1, JP8, and JP5 are all aviation kerosene fuels. Jet A and Jet A-1 differ only in their Freeze Point limits, as Jet A has a -40 C limit whereas Jet A-1 has a -47 C limit. Now JP-8 is essentially identical to Jet A-1 except JP8 must contain a Fuel System Icing Inhibitor and also a...

Actually, the only difference between JP8 and JP5 is their minimum flash point requirement. JP8 has a minimum limit of 100 C whereas JP5 has a minimum limit of 140 C. This higher limit is a requirement that the Navy has for all onboard fuels due to the potential for fuel vapors under deck...

Just ran across a technical report done by Southwest Research Institute involving the testing of the QMI's additives that was requested by the Marine Corps. Their results revealed that no measurable benefits were realized. To see this report, go the this site -...

The current qualified products list dated 27 Sept 2006 lists only one supplier who is Cognis Corp in Cincinnati OH and the OEA is called Emery 2810A. However. the folks in Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) who procure oils and the like for all of DOD and the other Federal agencies often award...

Paragraph 4 states "Yes. When thoroughly blended with fuel, PRI-G will restore even the most degraded fuels to a refinery-fresh, usable condition - provided the stored fuel does not contain metals or foreign chemistries not compatible with refined fuel. Although the fuel will be restored to...

"read on the Pri-G website that it restores old fuel that may have been sitting for too long in a vehicle or at a gas pump. Maybe that's hype or maybe not, but I know Stabil doesn't do that." Once a gasoline auto-oxidizes and such things as hydroperoxides, acids, etc. have formed, not much can...

I too agree with the comments that tenderloin posted a short while ago as they certainly made sense. Regarding some comments made about the FTC and their testing protocol, the FTC individuals who have been involved with these aftermarket additive companies are not in my opinion automotive...

Just curious as to where the higher oxidation rates evolved from as none of the prior posts made mention of that statement.

The jet fuel the SR71 uses, JP7, is used ONLY in this aircraft. It is so modified that you can use it to extinguish a match; it will only burn in the SR-71's mammoth engines. JP-7 is unusual in that it is not a distillate fuel but is created from special blending stocks in order to have very low...

Just to respond to the comment that the Army is/was a heavy user of Militec, that may or may not be the case. There is been a small procurement for the smaller bottles of Militect althought a recent series of tests that were performed by the Army again revealed is lacked corrosion proctection...

If you do a search on this, you will find that there was a considerable amount of discussion on this by other posters and it was confirmed that it contains chlorine.

Thought this article that appeared in USA Today might be of some interest. http://usatoday.printthis.clickability.c...;partnerID=1661

Just received this from the society of Automotive Engineers - We received the following communication initiated by Connecticut Weight and Measures. They have determined that a brand of oil called Maxi-Guard is probably nothing more than used oil. Apparently the business address on the label is...

From what I have read about zmax, they recommend using it after an oil change both in the engine oil and fuel, and then it is used again at the next oil change or about after 6000 miles not every 1000 miles.

Don't know whether anyone has seen this, but the Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) issued a warning in March 2006 cautioning users to be aware of the problems that can result from using raw or refined vegetable oil, or recycled grease that have not been processed into biodiesel. You can see...

Did not this posting under Additives talk about the same type of problem? http://theoildrop.server101.com/forums/s...1898#Post792926
