has anybody heard of mothballs in gasoline you take 1 mothball and add it to 1 gallon of gas it raises the octane level
Most saws don't have enough carb adjustment or fuel delivery capacity to run nitro and methanol without substantial modification to the carb and fuel systems.
Result is over reving the saw RPM towards 20,000 shortly before things come apart or meltdown. Like chopwood said nitro and methanol will eat at the insides of the saw surprisingly quickly too.
Also unless the saw is modified to run alternative fuel there is little to nothing to gain. Lots of cases high octane fuel makes for slower cut times. Though I have found that using high octane fuel permits more nitro to be added and that can gain a little time just by burning more though slightly less efficently.
Anyone here ever smell mothballs?
How did you get the little legs spread apart ???

Fred,in case you didn' t know it MEK.methel ethel ketone is also a known cathanagenic.You guys that mix "rocket fuel" scare me to death and I'm fearless.MEK and several eithers are popular, but seem to use as much oxygen as the provide to combust.

Yep, MEK is bad juju for your liver. Takes that 2 part aviation sealant off your hands in a hurry.
Way back when the air was clean and talk of sex was dirty,gasoline was composed of two different compounds. Isooctane and heptane.If 100 octane is no good search out the green AV gas (115LL), it's 115 octane.
There is a purple that is run in some military helicopters (130 octane...)
