This product is promoted as being an emergency get you to a gas station fill if you happen to be inattentive enough to actually run your vehicle out of gas.
According to their website, it's stable for ten years and is noted to be combustible, not flamable, although the published flashpoint of 105F is pretty close.
The website says that it's like 91 octane gasoline with none of the volatiles.
A half gallon container sells for some ridiculous $20+ price.
Does it work?
In the interest of experimentation, I picked up a container of this stuff on clearance at a Kroger for a buck fifty and put it to the test in my mower.
I ran the mower dry and then filled the quart tank with Magic Tank.
It performed exactly as advertised.
The already warm mower engine started without difficulty and I cut an area that would have used a quart of fuel with about the same consumption as I would have seen with pump gasoline.
So, the stuff does do what it's claimed to do.
The question is, what is it?
Good luck finding an MSDS.
I've tried.
