Armorall in fuel

[mikeh]

I know it sounds wierd, but I found this on another forum and it is a technique used frequently for rc aircraft to prevent foaming of the fuel due to vibration. Here is a demonstration:

Thats weird, wonder how it works, bet it just coats the plastic dischargeing the the static in the bottle to keep it from froaming?

I would just buy fuel with antifoam in it.

The foaming don't bother me I am too busy bashing to worry about my fuel foaming.

 

[JohnH]

True! very true!

I use Armorall in my fuel. Haven't had a problem. Besides the frothing which brings some air bubbles in fuel. It stops that frothing and air bubbles. And we definitly don't want any air bubbles in our fuel.

I am told that the Armorall breaks the surface tension in the fuel with prevents the foam.

this is a new one to me. but i am not that worried. to busy beating the crap out of my savage to worry about bubbles

same here...if its at that point where i see bubbles or foam in my tank...i'm probally flipping the truck over and going again.......LOL

But will it hurt the motor?/ i doubt it b/c of it being very ittlr but still.??

Who thinks of this stuff. Hmm maybe I should put armorall in my fuel. Maybe a chemical engineer is an rc driver and thought of this haha.
