Grape Ape
 
Anyone else like pouring in the grape or other flavored smell additive in their gas tank?

I like the stuff, I start my car quite a bit in the shop while under restoration. makes folks that stop in ask "hmm, smells like bubble gum in here" I get a kick outta that. non car folks have no idea of the additive.

keeps the shop more pleasant. :)

I've been running mine on 60% ethanol of late. I'd classify that as it's own "flavor", it's much more pleasant than gasoline...

Never knew it even existed for gas engines.
Sounds ideal for a lot of situations.

They use to sell stuff to put in kerosene but i never really noticed much difference with it. Sounds like you are getting very noticeable results with what you are using.

Since you have a brand that actually works good - what brand is it ?

Well ... I've never used it before.

But I'm certainly going to try it now :)

I want chocolate chip cookie.

groovy grape
 
kidding me? Iv'e smelled it via many race cars at the track. used to think it was just a race fuel thing.

pretty sure lotta "delicious flavors" pine/bubble gum etc.

get mine thru summit. harmless to fuel system etc. think its one bottle to 15 gal gas.

gonna try the bubble gum next. :))

Never heard of the stuff! Not sure about running the car in a shop for any length of time that I am going to enjoy the smell of the exhaust though :confused:

yeh, I certainly dont mean run er without your shop open. ;)

you can easily smell it even when race cars go down the track. always liked it. pretty sure label states safe for catalytic converters to.

hmmm maybe I can patent a cheeseburger scent.

How about a bacon scent?

padgett 11-11-2021 06:39 PM

Is nothing like Castrol R.

I’ve seen different scents at a race, a couple of years ago. It was sold by a vendor that sold serious race stuff. One of the “ smells” was marijuana, lol. I really wanted to buy some, sneak some into the gas tank of someone I used to work with. He has a serious drinking problem.

I had forgotten that stuff was out there! Now I have to check to see if there is a Vanilla or Coconut flavor:D

Anyone else think the Cherry flavored Zep Hand Soap smells delicious?


God Bless

A stripper scent would be nice to have

When I was working at the chevy dealership, the gm gear oil actually had a grape scent in it. Even said so on the bottle.

Noticed this delco oil brags about the scent

This is a great stripper scent for inside the car. Ironically all the women love it!

I wouldn't want to carry the pole around in the car. Nor the scratch and sniff bicycle seat. :rolleyes:
