Germans used it as fuel for their rocket powered Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet interceptor. Nasty stuff.

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Engine heroin :lol: It's a bit like lighting a match in front of a spray of WD40 to get a fire going. A helping hand shall we say :wink:
I had a motor addicted to the stuff once.

The Aussie equivalent.

Is the spark a good spark or yeh it sparks. I have come across where the spark plug/s look good but are not quite good enough to fire the engine up. Considering how cheap they are it's always worth swapping them out for new so they are ruled out. A visual check is not to always be trusted.
