Default 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 ?

I want chocolate chip cookie.

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.

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

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


God Bless

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!
