Subject: | Re: Fuel stabilising |
I add 2 grams of BHT (food grade butylated hydroxytoluene) anti-oxidant per 5 gallons
ethanol-free mogas anytime I don't immediately use the fuel.
BHT is readily available on eBay (much cheaper than Sta-bil and possibly the same
stuff, but without all the petroleum distillates that I don't want). BHT dissolves
instantly in mogas.
This is about 2 grams per 2700 gm of fuel, or 0.07%, or about 0.7 ppt. Not very
much! Possibly not even enough anti-oxidant for all applications. My goal
is to mitigate the formation of gums or gummy deposits in the carbs.
Many years ago I used small amounts of BHT for the same purpose in a hydrocarbon-based
rocket fuel for the US Air Force.
