i heard from a guy that works at meineke that if your running catless and you go in for an emissions test you should put a couple cups of rubbing alcohol in your gas tank and run with it for a few miles that you will be able to pass the test just fine....is this really true? would rubbing alcohol really work like that? also, would there be a chance of hurting your engine if you used it?

 

they look for a cat.

 

Rubbing alcohol huh?

Last time I checked, rubbing alcohol was about 50% isoproponol and the balance was water.
Go ahead and check the label under "Inactive ingrediant"

So, you really want to dump water in your gas tank?

 

Well, distilled wheat will run your car. Why dont you try that?

 

no no no, you guys got it all wrong... SUGAR is what you need, gosh the noobs nowadays i swear! jp incase you couldnt tell...

 

i knew a guy who ran out of gas --poured a 6 pack of coke in the tank & it got him home

 

how? Coke isnt even combustible. And sugar in the tank thing is an apparent myth. Now, metal shavings in the gas tank will do some damage to your poor victim.

 

i have run out of gas goin down a hill... and when i hit the bottom it started back up and i drove about 5 miles to the station.
