Nitromethane Smell Agent?

09/26/2010 11:51 AM

Is there something I could add to my gas that would make the exhaust smell like nitromethane?

Check here, http://www.smokemup.com/tech/fuels.php. If you just want the smell, I don't know what to tell you.

Forget nitro - just whack in a good slurp of Castrol R. You'll never look back.

Luverly!

How about nitromethane. Nothing else smells like it.

Hopefully, he read the link I posted. It's a great way to blow up a motor.

Of course, after the engine's blown, he could just keep a little bucket of nitromethane under the ass end to maintain the desired aroma around his worthless car.

Yes, I read the link, and did some research. Nitro doesn't mix well with gas, it creates nitric acid when it burns, and has other unpleasant attributes. So we don't put nitro in the gas.

FYI, my interest is that I like the smell of nitro, and I like to make people crazy.

Now the Castrol R40 thing looks OK, so I might try a little of that and see how it smells.

Try nitrous oxide, it's almost odorless and a lot more fun!

I did it in the name of Fatherhood!! Part of prenatal class was a visit to the maternity ward. "Which of you dads would like to try this, so you know what it's like?" said the midwife. Think I was the only "brave volunteer" . And I was a 45-y-o teenager .

Is nitromethane anything like amyl nitrate? - maybe more like nitromors, I suspect!

Well, adding <...nitromethane...> to it is a possibility.
