Default Hydrogen Peroxide injection?? for more oxygen for fuel to burn

Has anyone considered using Hydrogen Peroxide injection for more power?

The MSDS lists "DANGER! STRONG OXIDIZER", that means more oxyen for your fuel. It also says it "Increases the flammability of combustible, organic and readily oxidizable materials." Diesel fuel is an organic material, so could be a formula for more power.

Thoughts?

The 3-5% stuff that is sold over the counter will probably not make much of a difference. You will probably need to try 30-90% H2O2. If anyone considers trying this, be very careful. The stronger H2O2 will require personel protective gear to handle safely and my require system mods so it does not damage parts not designed for it.

What he said ^^^^. Peroxides are very dangerous to work with in high concentrations. Some of the most well known explosions in the news are stemmed from peroxides either as a primary or a secondary charge. Peroxides are also very shock sensitive which makes them even the more dangerous to transport. But then again, anything will work if used properly and cautiously.
