H2O2 for spray??? Will it work???

I was sitting on the thrown the other day and looked over at a bottle of hygrogen proxcide (can't spell) and was wondering if anyone had tried this in their water/meth system?? It's the same as water with one more oxygen per partical. It would seem that it would help with the added oxygen. Can anyone think of a reason that it wouldn't help or cause problems??? The bottle is only at 3% concentrate. Any thoughts ??? Thanks!!!

Run good? Yes but if there is room for improvement why not, and if it adds to power and/or mpg why not. You can get your music from an A track but I'm sure you have improved the way you get your music???

Just because your happy with your setup doesn't mean everone has to run it that away!!!

Easy now guys, I wasn't intending to insult anyone.
modding your truck is what we are here for!
But, my point was that modifying the fuel is risky.
sorry if I took it off topic!
back to the topic now!

I doubt that you will get enough O2 from it to see any difference. I also don't think it will be good for the pump in any voluume.

He's not adding it to the fuel, he's adding to the water/meth injection.

H2O2 decomposes pretty slowly. The 'extra' oxygen will dissipate and you will end up with water and oxygen. The decomposition process can be accelerated by adding different components. I am not sure of the reaction between methanol and h2o2. But it would be easy to see. Add a splash of methanol to a bit of h2o2, if it bubbles, it will decompose the h2o2 into oxygen and water. If it does cause decomposition and they were stored separately and mixed at the point of injection, it may actually work. There could be pressure issues caused by the release of the oxygen. Some torpedoes were actually fueled by the h2o2 decomposition process. They used very concentrated h2o2 though (which can be very dangerous)

h2o2 is an oxidizer (bleach) and so it can be hard on some components. Specifically rubber and metals.

No reason your theory wont work if you can solve a couple issues though. I would also suspect that 3% will not gain you very much, but would be good to experiment with. I would suspect that the issue has been gone over somewhere. You can probably get most of your answers via internet searches and a bit of reading.

If you find out anything, post it up. Kind of an interesting topic!!
