Something other than Water/Meth in the same setup

I was thinking about this is other day. Right now I run the washer fluid in my water / methanol setup. I was thinking, could you run something like the injector cleaners of the cetane boost or something like that? Anyone else experimented with injecting other stuff besides the water/meth? Just an idea...

Now that would be interesting. I enjoy it when my diesel hits 10,000rpm and shoots 15lb chunks of piston and connecting rod 50' in the air while simultaneously splitting the block in half from front to back and grenading the head into a bunch of chunks of molten iron and watching the impeller in my turbo came screaming out of it's housing at 400,000rpm and cut my hood into two equal pieces before flying off into the unknown.

That would make a great video!

Some pullers mix water soluble machining oil into their water injection setups.

Nitromethane is spooky stuff. Did you know that if you put a drip of it on the floor and smack it with a hammer, it will explode?

I'll have to give that a try. We have ran some high concentrations in small cubic alchohol engines. Up to 80% in 1.2 and down CID. Below 70 degrees it doesn't start or run real well till it gets warmed up. Actually we had to prime them and hand feed them until they stabilized to make it work.

I bought a few bottles of "heet" tonight. I read another post and it said it is 99% methyl alchohol. So I can dillute that down to my likings. Anyone know of any other things like "heet" that are mostly methyl alcohol, short of washer fluid?

Hydrogen peroxide is very corrosive to metals especially aluminum.
I'd be a bit leery about adding it.
Now if you injected from a cylinder of hydrogen gas you might get some good results.
