Get a 4 liter jug of Methanol Hydrate and pour it into a quarter tank of gas. then take the test you should pass my bro did that with his R32 and the numbers he got were retarded. If you want a comparison here are some pics.

I’m not disputing your claims or anything, but on what basis did you or your brother figure out that this was a suitable additive for a car, and that it will provide reduced tailpipe emissions? I’m just curious as to the process that you used to arrive at it, and possible side-effects if any. ---

If that’s true, that’s awesome. ---

We first heard about this on GTRC when my brother couldn’t pass his etest. Haven’t had any side-effects so far so i don’t think there will be. but the guy on GTRC said to drive around gently untill the gas light comes on. and then fill with 91/94. Not really sure why this is, but i think it has to do with the fact that most lower grade fuels in Canada have a % of methanol in them to clean the burned fuel for emissions but im not sure the % i think it was somthing like 10-15% in 87 octane. im not 100% on that so don’t quote me. ---

^Are you referring to ethanol? Most stations have “up to 10% ethanol” such as Esso, Petro Canada…even Sunoco’s doing it now. I don’t recall seeing a sign regarding ethanol content at Shell. I could be wrong of course. ---

Yeah you do need to get a sheet of proof from Nissan for places that are strict. However, if you go to a place and they know your engine isn’t stock, they might be willing to test it under hot rod status without any proof from Nissan. ---

The place I went to just required a bill of sale stating that the engine isn’t stock.
