he may want to wrap a kevlar blanket around the engine first, then he don't to look as hard for all the pieces after the show

 

BOOM! Hah! Please post it on You-Tube!

 

it would make for a good show at least once

 

make sure you have a video camera running about 50 to 100 feet away from the front of the truck when he tries this

then post to db so we can sit back and watch

 

 

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

 

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.
