Fuel Bomb Hellfire

Anyone using Hellfire?

What kind of differences are you noticing in your truck?

I see on the label of Hellfire, it doesn't say anything about lubricity. F-bomb states it lubricates.

If your mixing Hellfire with a lubricant, what with?



Not sure if I posted this in the proper forum.

Thanks in advance,

never heard of it.
but my experience with any of these is if it sounds too good to be true it is.
they are all pretty much nothing more than expensive snake oils.

Sure.....here's what the MSDS states.....

Hydrotreated light petroleum distillates 64742-47-8 60.00 - 100.00% (this is basically any petroleum based product)

Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether 111-76-2 10.00 - 30.00% (basically alcohol)

Heavy aromatic solvent naphtha & 2-Ethylhexyl nitrate N/Av (basically means its added in when they feel like it or the amount added is so minimal that its not reportable)

ok....so you have some fuel product (could even be gasoline, diesel fuel, etc) added with alcohol.....and to boost octane, they add a touch of naptha...

this is all off the shelf products available at any hardware store for a fraction of the price....and their concentrations range is sooo wide, wither they have no quality control or it just depends on what product they are using that day!

Thanks for the replies Tom(tjc transport) and beechkid.

Nice to learn about products, from others in the know, before spending money on them just to find out later it's money wasted.

Thanks again
