at about 1000ft, it looks like a scud missle hit!!! sounds like it too!!
Please be careful filling the trash bag, static electricity can set this off in your face. I have a friend who got 3rd degree burns from trying that and he is scarred for life.

I have ordered a book, Turbochargers, which has a section on diesels and water injection. It shipped today from Amazon.com.
Has anyone tried the Methanol and JP4 Combination?
My buddy runs that solution in his motorcycle.

we cannot run a flammable mix in the diesels. the boost gets high enough to raise the dynamic compression to a point that it will light the mix before the diesel starts the normal flame. then u have the problem PSD 60L FX4 has.... KA-BLOOEY!!!

but i bet it works well in gassers

Is it possible to run JP4 in our stock diesel tanks? From what I understand JP4 is primarily diesel fuel with alot of cetane additive, anyone know of any pros/cons, or any reason this wouldnt work or cause problems?

It won't run in your truck as far as I know. It would run in the USMC 5 ton multifuel trucks in the 1970s
