Sorting out a 50/1 oil mix suitcase generator I found a fuel blockage and blew it. I forgot how foul it is yuck

From my vague memory I cannot remember leaded (4 star) being that bad. Was it?

Antifreeze is yummy, shame about it being poisonous.

Glycerine isn't poisonous and tastes similar, but not as good.

Haven't tried methanol, wonder if that's even nicer than antifreeze?

I found unleaded and red bull taste very similar. Diesil's far tastier surprisingly.

It is. Nasty colouring and flavour are added to it to dissuade tramps from drinking it. Otherwise, it's just like stronger ethanol- tasteless. Gets you drunk quicker and fks your liver even faster.

For anyone with a sweet-tooth a lick of WD40 is delicious.

errr, it also makes you go blind (its metabolised to formaldehyde which is the nasty stuff).

now dichloromethane, that tastes horrible.
