Has anyone ever heard of putting mothballs in gas? I heard it raises octane a bunch. It sounds stupid but an engine builder told me this. Is it true???

 

I think they tested this on myth busters and found it to be true, all though there test wasn't all that detailed.

 

trailrider, who did the study, MythBusters?LOL They do some cool stuff though[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

To sum it up, todays moth ***** don't contain the chemicals that once gave mothballs their "anti-pinging" characteristic. In fact, some mothballs contains dichlorobenzene (chlorine) which produces hydrochloric acid as it burns. You would NOT want to be behind someone burning that!! Not to mention the damage that it could cause your engine. So NO, todays mothballs WILL NOT raise your octane.
