troyzstang Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Any experience with this additive for alcohol applications. I just picked up another 5 gallons for this weekend and the salesman recommended this product. He claimed that using this will eliminate the need for purging. It is supposed to apply a protective coating over aluminum parts that will prevent corrosion when running alcohol. Please reply if you have any experience with this product. Thanks, Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2otoofast4u Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Many of the fuels you can buy now have top end lube added to them, M5 for instance has a top end lube in it (as well as other stuff). Multiple other variations of methanol fuels do as well. Generally when you start to get into the fuels with nitroparaphin (sp) or nitro methane additives you will see that they have the top end lube with them. I am of the opinion that these additives are more suited for 4 stroke applications and in our world are going to do nothing other than give one more variable to wonder about when shits not going right. Long story short, I think its useless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I wouldn't rely on that for engine lubercation. It is geared for 4 strokes that have a dedicated oiling system. It is to help keep from washing down the engine oil on the cylinder walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyzstang Posted April 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Thanks for the input Guys Kind of thought it was a waste of money too. The shop owner did tell me that m5 has it already. Thanks again Troy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
