I would also add pure oxygen as an oxidizer....

Even at 1/4 psi - I still dont think its a good idea.

JMO, FWIW

That's 1/4 psi pre compressor (turbo) and compression (piston/ chamber). I don't know what it would end up being at deto but I'm pretty sure more than 15 psi.

Remember to add your haz-mat placard on the truck..

and yes, Acetylene released into the air at 15psi or over will explosively combust,

Cummins manual recommends a mechanical (knife) air shutoff when running in the presence of any form of combustible fumes to kill the motor when it goes into runaway.

edit: why not propane?

I guess it might look just like af1cummins' avatar, except the flame ball will come from under the hood, follow the truck to a stop and continue to burn.

Acetalyn has a very low flash point and if he injects it before the turbo it will send a wastgate through radiator. Not saying after the turbo have a better result. But Every off the wall ideal has to have a starting point, And a few mishaps. I run acatone in my half ton, I thought that was nuts.

well it ran. no run aways or any explosions. he actually lost mileage. went from 19 to 14. might try some propane next.

Well, you have the acetylene bottle unhooked, why not hook up the O2 tank now and give it a whirl, don't skimp on it though, crank it up to 20psi and see what happens

**LadyPuller** · #23 11-24-2009, 12:21 AM

why not just strap tnt to engine ...would be less work lmaooo

stevenbrazell · #24 12-04-2009, 10:10 AM

acetylyn is also known to eat away the o rings in the gasoline engines its been added to.

You probably had the bottle pressure down too low.....carnk up the acetylene to about 15-20psi....that should give you a boost.

i would say try the o2 for sure, wouldn't that just be like a more concentrated version of nitrous?
