Does your lawnmower wake up in the morning and go: "Oh, god what is he going to do today?"
Lol
Best comment I have ever seen. That little engine has taken a beating. @ProjectFarm Is it a Kohler or Briggs & Stratton???
My 8 year old son thinks that it is a Briggs & Stratton motor, I think that the rest of the mower is a knockoff from MTD,
LMFAO dead dead dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@noidontthinksolol Tell that to Genesis Circa 1973
For sale: 1 lawnmower.
Engine is verified to exceed all known "flex fuel" and "multi fuel" standards.
lol
LMAO
lol
😂😂
the lawnmower that actually still runs and makes it through all of these tests, is the mower that should breed more mowers
Its gotta be sterile by now
@@donzemanovic4205 it must be cloned then
Respect to the mower.

Why?
Private Boy and so Texas was born
I saw the title and was immediately like *pfffff* obviously not, why is he even bothering?
I stand corrected.
Thanks for commenting. I was surprised it worked too.
We both learned something
My dude did brake parts cleaner once so anything is possible
I didn't watch the vid yet thanks for spoilers lol
A friend said he drove on crude oil, now I know he wasn't lying o__O
* me pulling up to the gas station *
: gimme 120$ sour crude
lol. Thanks
Hey thats 2 barrels what are driving
Currently, how big of a super tanker do you want with that?
They’ll give it to you for free now
Yeah I drive a Bus and only have a 40 gallon tank
The sulfur compounds act as a lubricant. That's why the ultra low sulfur diesel had to have lubricity additives in order to work in the fuel pumps (around 2006).
Great point. Thank you
Mix the two together for a delicious sweet and sour topping for popcorn.

Yes officers this comment right here
It's a dessert topping AND a floor wax!

@@jordandias2082 r/foundthemobileuser
When sour crude burns I believe it makes CS2 which is used to remove grease and wax as an industrial solvent, hence why the sour crude made the engine so clean
Great point!
This is the stuff I love seeing in comments :) thanks for the info
informative comment, up you go!
another damn tom what you think about my comment above? (Making sulferic acid from it)
Sour crude is oil with levels of h2s gas
"The EPA would like to know your location"
Lol
and usps
Haha
What why
@@colbycolson9203 heavy fuel oil.
If you taught science class when I was in grade school I wouldn't have had to spend so much time later in life learning what I wanted to know. You do a great job with all these projects 👍
Thank you!
The thing about crude oil is that it literally has everything in it required to run your engine either as a fuel or lubricant... but it’s also full of stuff that’s detrimental or inhibits easy and reliable operation.
Take your lubricity test. Yes in a short term high load application it performed better than motor oil. But the lighter fractions will act like solvents to prevent a film of oil staying on the internals when the engine is shut off and also possibly (quite likely) catch fire due to its extremely low flashpoint.
Similarly for a fuel.. it does have the low flashpoint required for gasoline engines, but it’s taking a lot of heavier fractions along for the ride of which some will burn as they reach their flashpoint, but many won’t. This can lead to problems with metering and filtration (as you experienced) deposits and terrible emissions as well as detonation in higher compression engines (I would imagine a lawnmower engine is a lot like an old flathead where it was such low compression it could run on petroleum OR kerosene).
Of course a Diesel engine would probably run better on this provided it wasn’t common rail direct injection as the crude would quickly clog injectors and wear out the pump. Perhaps the best use would be in an old jet engine with vaporizer tubes rather than injectors.
Crude oil was used in Japanese warships as an emergency measure in WWII due to diminishing oil and refining capacity. It resulted in much fouling of the exhaust flues and water tube boilers as well as it was an extreme fire hazard due to the low flashpoint (bunker fuel is typically a very heavy crude fraction both for its energy content as well as its low volatility).
Great point! Thank you
Heavy fuel oil is still used on ships today though there no way it would work in a normal engine, its far too viscous.
Unit injectors FTW.
Is it choc full of paraffin?
Excellent analysis of the pros & cons. Crude oil of any sort is probably too viscous for a diesel engine let alone a petrol (gasoline) engine.
Maybe the good lubrication of the crude oil would make it suitable to run in a 2-stroke engine without having to add any oil? Would be a fun test as well, see if it survives.
This one seems really interesting
Thank you for the video idea!
Can you pump crude oil through a 2-stroke carburettor? Won't the viscosity be a problem without the crude oil being heated to reduce is viscosity?
Crude oil in a two stroke as a replacement of premixed gasoline would be interesting
Great video idea!
Now that is something extremely interesting!
You could use it for the oil part, but not the gasoline part.
@@ProjectFarm plz do it
@@ProjectFarm Yes do it please we are waiting :)
many years ago while working for a builder, i ran out of gas miles from a gas station. looking through my van for something flammable, i found a can of wood preserver, it got me home with the engine protesting loudly all the way.
That's interesting!
I had an similar situation but i used paint thinner, also with an protesting engine but made it home
I also looked around found my wife,and on that trip home there was also alot of protesting from the "engine".i also got home,warm and dry and all ready to sleep on the sofa!
I would have never put that in my car, stranded or not.
@@Dover939 yes you would have. (Unless you wanted to walk hundreds of miles.) There weren't cellphones back then.(or he was out of cellphone range.)
"How do you tell what type of fuel it is?"
"What are you, stupid? You taste it; unleaded tastes a little tangy, supreme is kinda sour, and diesel tastes pretty good" -Ricky
TPB . I love it when MS lahe makes him a sandwich and gives him smokes.
Huh, never would have guessed that crude oil would run in an engine. I always imagined crude oil more like used motor oil. Thick, dirty, and not producing flammable fumes.
Thank you!
I use 20% Waste Motor Oil (5W30) mixed with 80% Waste Jet A1 to run my 3.0L Diesel Truck. Have been doing so now for 4+ years without any problems.
mharris1270 - "I wouldn't pay $25 a gallon for new oil to burn in your truck's gas tank"
Hence why I use WASTE Motor Oil, which most mechanic workshops will happily store and give to you for FREE, because it saves them paying to have the waste oil removed and transported. But every time that I do an oil change, I simply throw that oil into my 1000L JetA1 storage container and allow sufficient time for it to settle to allow microscopic metal fragments and gel fragments to drop to the bottom.
How much money do you save by using waste oil?
My image of crude oil is heated roof tar OR really, really old and thick differential oil. Mind you, I have never seen the real article with my own eyes or felt it with my hands.
However, I bet if you heat it hot enough you could make ANY ICE run on it(talking from experience with oil fueled ranges, heaters and pottery ovens).
Try crude oil in a diesel engiene
Thank you for the video idea!
Project Farm I suggest a Yanmar small diesel engine. Direct injected air cooled and easy to work with.
Wow I am surprised it actually ran
It would almost certainly run better; Considering how thick diesel is compared to gasoline.
I’ve heard claims that the lighter crude oils (as from much of Arabia) can fuel a Diesel engine without much trouble. I’d like to see if that’s true.
Crude oil? Slap that in an oil refinery and you got yourself some Low Grade Fuel.
Thank you for the video idea!
Love that RUST reference! XD
Or go to a quarry and get some sulfur or high quality.
Rust lmao
Dead af. I wonder if this video came up because all of the rust recommendation videos on yt.
My yard is full of barrels of crude oil because they paid me to take it. So I’ll just half and half it with gasoline in my gas tank. Lmao
I tried it! Works really well in my YUGO!
That mower's going to need new tires before the engine dies. Great test.
LOL! Great point!
That mower is a Trooper.
David P That opens up a whole range of new tests! What works as replacement tires for your lawnmower? "Honey we've found a use for your bagel dough!"
Wow I honestly didn't think it'd run like that if at all!
I was surprised too!
Given the low gravity of this, I was expecting it to work. What is more surprising is that the light-sweet crude was harder to flow than the sour stuff.
As I understand it, this particular source of crude is especially light and loaded with stuff even lighter than gasoline. In fact, it's quite possible that a lot of gasses escaped this crude before it could even be put in the bottles and shipped. I was wondering where he got crude oil. That stuff is NASTY.
I have to say, I was really impressed also, not just the film strength but how clean the sour crude burned. I didn’t expect that. I wonder how the efficiency test would do.. being that it’s also lubricating pretty well
Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are so much fun to watch. Thank you, and please keep them coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Mix the sweet and sour together and get you some egg rolls.
LOL!
If the eggs are rotten you'll get the sulfur smell too.
Lol!!!
Don't forget the duck sauce :P
Maybe it will end up like sour patch kids. Sour. Sweet. Gone
try the sour crude oil as motoroil please :O
Thank you for the video idea!
yes please
I agree!
I agree!
Other than being dirty, it should as well do as good as a conventional oil lol
The supertankers that haul the stuff have been caught using it to run the ship. Naturally the shippers are not exactly thrilled. I was surprised you didn’t get detonation or preignition. Good show.
Thank you
Are detonation and pre-ignition different things? I recall a difference.
@@louf7178 yes very. one is timing, the other hot deposits in cylinder
I thought it was standard for Supertankers to run on crude oil.
Because then you can keep the oil in one bigass container
I always get so happy from watching your documentation on various products, thanks for your always positive aproach.
Thank you!
I worked in the industry and put raw condensate in my truck. It knocked like crazy. I added octane boost and premium every time it went down a quarter tank. After 2 times it stopped knocking.
Interesting.
The old timers called that stuff "head gas." You do have to boost the octane, but it will run.
Working in the oil industry, this thought has crossed my mind. Where I work (southern Australia) the crude oil is so light it's hard to tell it from dirty water. Great video, as always. You've satisfied my curiosity so many times and saved me hours of experimenting just "so I know". So thankful that you share your work and knowledge with others.
Thank you!
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate and love your channel so very interesting thanks for everything you do buddy
I appreciate that!
Awesome experiment. Thank you Jerry for helping ProjectFarm accomplish this 🤗
Thanks and you are welcome!
Using a 22" Push MOWER to mow what looks like 20 acres..... Classic.
You keep makin' videos and I'll keep watchin'.
LOL! Thank you!
Mr Farm is superman!!
Yeah, and I hate to say it but he missed a spot....
Your Grandad was doing it right and stellar if he was sipping a cold one while at it.
Francois Deshue ,
That's one reason why we have children for...
The sulfur is a lubricant in fuels and oils. There was a big concern with lubricity during the switch to ultra low sulfur diesels a few years back.
Erik Kovacs When they made the switch, it was messing up fuel pumps left and right. I hate the low sulphur diesel.
All great points and thanks for commenting!
Even if your fuel pump hates it, your lungs should like it better than the high sulphur oil, or rather the exhaust gases from it.
Haha there still is.
I run my old vw on a crapload of other oils.
People give me unused cases of oil so I throw it in the tank with about 5-6 other things like cetane booster and mmo and whatnot.
When it’s up around a 25-30% concentration it runs pretty nice.
skunkjobb yes.... because it exhausts inside the cab.
You're a real Sport! I appreciate it, hopefully others too. the tear down and assembly over and over. That poor or should i say That's one tough lawnmover been thru hell and back, through HHO experiments Thumbs Up. See thru engine WOW. i Like, OLE!
8:40 "what are you doing?"
"Oh nothing just taking my lawnmower for a walk"
Walking that endless grassy walk with the lawn mower makes for an excellent outro! I love it!
This was a fascinating experiment, as well!
Thank you!
I see whats coming next - crude oil in crank case :D DO IT!!
Thank you for the video idea!
So, lets try it on 2-stroke engine, if it good as lubricant! "Natural pre-mixed twostroke gasoline"
Rh- great idea!!
crankysports Yeah, it "should" work well! @project farm
I am astonished. I did not expect it to work at all.
Thank you
Man I really love your videos, you always come up with really interesting ones.👍
Thank you!
you could have tried heating the oil instead of adding the gas.
You're right. I should have done this.
Gassifier
Heating Oil is Diesel
Anonarchist heating the oil
You must use a hot water bath to heat up flammable liquids, you are not supposed to use straight heating or open flames. Dipping the full plastic reservoir into a pot with hot water for 10 mins would have done the trick!
MIND BLOWN! I'm amazed it worked, nevermind as well as it did!
I was very surprised too.
Wow - very interesting! Would not have guessed that outcome!
Thank you!
I bought a Murray mower with Briggs & Stratton engine in March 2003. It finally failed to start in March of 2019. Had 2 small kids and no time so I took it to local shop. They charged me $50 bucks and told me it was not salvageable as it had no compression and was beyond repair. Put it on the curb. Picked up immediately. An hour later a random guy brings it back to me and asks for $25 for the repair he has just made. (Dirty carb). I paid him smiling and still use that same mower 3 years later.
I LOVE those old Briggs & Strattons.
Thanks for sharing.
That was very informative. I feel better about my chances of being Mad Max after the world ends...
Thank you!
Just build a fractioning tower. Heck, I’ve made guzzoline out of crude with a test tube and a Bunsen burner.
It may work but there's reasons why we don't use Crude oil and instead use gas
@@mftripz8445 but no one will care as much after the wold ends

You really know how to make good videos. I have just started watching your vids and I have to say good job on the short explanation of your homemade lubricity tester. You probably get tired of talking about it each time but it helps people who randomly come across your videos like I did. Good job!
Thank you!
Now my room is filled with crude oil smoke from watching this.
lol
I'm honestly surprised this worked. The exhaust from that sour crude has gotta be super nasty though, is basically vaping sulphuric acid.
Very interesting video, thanks!
It should be noted that the Williston Basin (Bakken region) has a few other types of crude ... Mission Canyon is pumped from about 9000-10,000 feet. It is thick, heavy oil with a VERY high concentration of H2S. Some of this oil wont even flow unless it is at least 85 degrees. The other formation up there is Red River 11,000 - 12,500 feet down - a very light oil that actually looks lime green in color when fresh out of the well. Red River is extremely flammable right from the wellhead - the flash point is much lower than Jet-A fuel. It also has one downfall - High paraffin content that tends to clog pipelines.
This is great information. Thank you!
All correct information. Red River can also be reddish-brown to near black in parts of the basin. You also forgot to mention the Dickinson Heath Sand Unit oil, a jet black sweet oil with super high parrafin content. Makes for a thick greasy much when cold.
I've been baptized in bakken green gold.....clean out after clean out....worked for Moe well service in white earth in the whiting oilfield area and sometimes across the river south
Nice! Now I'm heading out to the garden and start digging! lol
LOL!

Just started watching your videos. A lot of youtubers should take your videos for examples. Short to the point and sweet what I like awesome job.
Thanks!
This was a very informative and eye opening video. Many years ago I worked for Gulf Oil Company but not as a petrochemical engineer.
Thank you!
Try them as diesel fuel replacement please.
Thanks for the recommendation! I'll do this soon!
Thanks!
@@ProjectFarm please do this
I live in Texas and it's a common thing to hear about some guy who works on an oil rig running his diesel truck on crude. Never actually seen it, but my dad worked in the oil fields for 20 years and said people really did it a lot.
@@tripplefives1402 I used to run waste oil in my 83 f250. Ran like a champ. Just filter it first.
I'm quite amazed to see how well the engines ran on crude, it's always depicted as being tarry gloop rather than a liquid, so seeing an engine run right off it, it's impressive!! :)
As for the lubricity, the sour is probably more lubricating as the sulphur in there acts like a lubricant, and is what kept diesel engines happy before they replaced traditional diesel fuel with Ultra-Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD), which annoyed many a vintage diesel engine owner as they're having to use additives to keep their engines from being destroyed due to the lack of lubrication...
Great point regarding the Sulfur and ULSD.
Yea man , I run about a 20-25% mix of “other” oils , like mmo,unused engine oil and a cetane booster , and maybe some atf...
The new fuel is so dry, try lubricating a diesel fuel filter gasket and spinning it on.
Haha you may as well use water , it’ll squeak less.
Mmo must work , there is all kinds of warnings to not use it for on the road vehicles.
Sulfur spelling...
In British English (where English originates), Sulphur is spelled with a ph, rather than an f, so it is correct according to the OED... :)
You are awesome man, keep up the great videos.
Thank you
This is amazing... I would have never guessed that it would work. Great video as always. 😀
Thank you!
They have oil tanker ships that run on crude oil.
This is great information.
Yup, bunker crude is (or maybe was, knowing the enviro-whackos) a commonly used fuel for ships-at-sea. So snotty it has to be heated to make it go through the injection system, and so smoky you'll get fined for burning it in a lot of ports, but very cheap.
GreatNorthernDad The envirowackos you mention should definitely worry about ships more than cars. One cargo ship emits more pollution in one day than 50,000,000 cars in that same day (yes, 50 million). And there an estimated 90,000 ships on the seas.
David Roberts Don't know about that. A toothless figurehead who can't really do anything of substance that affects anyone outside of the US of A without many layers of approval of congress and other agency bureaucracy VS. world wide misguided and misinformed individual, first-world, privileged, poke-my-nose-into-my-neighbours'-business-fascists tut-tutting over small-picture, simplified problems rather than the things of real consequence. People generally have zero clues about things they can't see in front of their morning cereal bowl. I own 4 cars, 4 motorbikes & multitude other engine powered tools n toys. But I also know container ship & aircraft emissions are a real issue no one wants to admit to lest it means they can't buy their iphone or nikes.
The Japanese ran some warships on crude oil late in WW2. They tended to blow up far more easily.
Happy Monday project farm upload!
Happy Monday and thank you! By the way, the Project Farm Channel will have a 30-minute episode on the Velocity Channel this coming Friday at 9:30 PM EST (Velocity Dispatch, Season 1, Episode 6).
Cant Wait!!
Project Farm I like my comments also
Love these videos, keep up the great work!
Thank you!
amazing wow i love to know more about crude oil for diesels ! nice posts !
Always top notch videos!
Thank you very much! By the way, I really enjoy your channel!
I wonder if snake oil(actual snake oil) would be a good engine lubricant.
Great video idea!
Don't think Leftist rhetoric will burn that easily. Or lubricate well either. Burn, maybe.
I'm sure Elon Musk could sell you lots of snake oil.
Maybe when it's hot, but animal fat tends to solidify at room temperature.
Golden Grenadier that's a great idea and very funny joke
AMAZING !!!
This is a historic event.
Well done!
Thanks so much!
Always best videos and ideas! Congrats
Thank you very much!
Pretty darn fascinating! BTW, the turbine engines in the first few pumping stations on the Alaska pipeline use crude oil because it's too difficult to haul refined fuel that far north. The one thing they do to the crude first is push it thru filters to get out as much dirt and sand as they can.
Thank you
Did they have to pre-heat the crude oil as well as filtering it?
@@grahamepigney8565 crude oil supposedly has a gel point of 59°F, so there is a valid reason to be concerned there
All I could think of was "Don't come home drunk and put that on your noodles! It won't be the sweet and sour you're expecting" lol Another nice job. Always interesting viewing! I'd still love to know what you think is the best engine degreaser after a leak ;)
LOL! Funny! Thanks again for the video idea. I will definitely test degreasers.
Project Farm can you test if green tire slime will plug a hole in a radiator? Or put through spark plug hole to help improve compression?
Please test La's Totally Awesome All Purpose Cleaner and Degreaser when you test degreasers. It's 1 dollar a quart at Dollar Tree, and I have yet to see it outperformed by a significant amount for cleaning engines. It's wonderful stuff!
Niamh Healy
I used GUNK brand, they do a red and less stick green version. Both work well and rinse away with water.
You do very interesting videos. Keep up the good work. Also, a hotter plug should keep the plug from fouling like it did.
I really like the cutaway crank case and piston jug on your shelf!
Thanks!
The problem with crude oil is it might have tar and other shits, which may vary from well to well, and that can cause lots of problems in the long run. Its more or less the same as running a diesel engine on unprocessed vegetable oil. It might work but the problem is reliability on the long run.
Great point! Short term gain, but long-term pain...
Shits?! Haha
Primitive internal combustion engines were made to run on crude oil, of course they were crap en power and efficiency compared to nowadays engines but in the begining of times, those existed. (obviosly because the idea of refining crude oil came later)
Btw, the sour oil which contained sulphur maybe, im not a chemist, maybe had better lubrication properties because sulphur compounds afaik are rather good lubricants.
the engines he is using the crude in isn't primitive? lol He's using a Carburetor, which was first used on a petrol engine in 1882!!! LOL
yeah but i mean primitive in the sense of the development of said technology. It might be using a carburator but most likely it was designed in CAD in a computer and all the mold, parts and tooling were dont with much better materials and with better tolerances than the first one. Leds were also discovered in 1907 but that doesnt mean the current ones are in any primitive.
Carburators are still used in aplications where you dont care for efficiency and dont have an alternator to power the injection system. Carburators are robust and simple, for stuff that needs that, they are unmatched, and you know the rules, the simplest the machine, the less prone to failure.
Now I wonder how this stuff would perform in an Diesel & especially in a 2Stroke engine...
Thank you for the video ideas!
Good call, running it straight up in a 2 cycle would be interesting.
irgendwieanders1 2 stroke wont need motor oil if fuel oil is sour . Diesel wold run fine . In old times oil wells where powerd by crude oil burning diesel engines . Fuel to make fuel if u ask me
MaceThePro haven't seen any of them but have seen lots that run off casing gas( gas not liquid)
Roger Galbraith waste gas from oil well?
Great video, just found your channel this week and really enjoying it. I always wondered about running crude oil in an engine and wondered about its properties in general and how to acquire it if you wanted to try it. I would love to see this test done in a Diesel engine as well as other fuels/oils as well and it looks like a lot of others would too. I hope you can get your hands on a diesel that will work well for test purposes, I’d be interested to see how many different things you could run one of those small diesel generators on if you were in an emergency like lamp oil, peanut oil, cooking oil, motor oils , etc.
Thank you!
Great video! Looks like sulphur is an effective lubricant enhancer. This is backed up by the fact that Hypoid gears, such as those in the final drives of rear axle cars require sulfur-phosphorus as an extreme pressure additive as well as a high viscosity oil.
Thank you!
I’d like to see a video comparing different sex lubes and a replacement for engine oil lol
Please make this happen!
Great. And when they either drive in Quahog, Rhode Island or by Seth MacFarlane, we'll hear Stewie asking if any one smells Astroglide.
The silicone ones might work.
Ok, so take any "personal lube" you want... put a few drops on your hands... rub them together. In a minute or two the water is gone and they get sticky... so NO, it wouldn't fly in an engine.
I agree
How about a 50/50 Sweet & Sour mix?
Great recommendation!
Man, all of a sudden I've got the urge to order some Chinese.
Works just as well as a 50/50 Sprite Vodka mix.
That was really interesting!!! Thanks Todd!I was surprised That sour crude was burned much cleaner that sweet!
Thank you!
Got a crude laugh out of the ending, love the videos as always. Thanks!
lol. Nice!
Amazing how those two oils practically revolutionized the world in the 1800s and 1900s. The industrial revolution would have never existed without crude oils.
Great point!
@Paradoxical Nightmare crude oil can make so many more things than fuels
@Paradoxical Nightmare yea I know but those rubbers and plastics were revolutionary. Besides steam engines just burn coal or wood which are also polluting.
@Paradoxical Nightmare how do you think we generate power in the first place? With massive steam turbines where we burn fuel. If your using batteries you may as well just run it direct
@Paradoxical Nightmare but where are they getting to power for there batteries? If there's limited clean water I can't imagine the infrastructure is very good.
You should try making homemade fuel and see if you can get it to work
Thank you for the video idea!
Also keep up the great videos! They are entertaining and educational
Like this idea!
I'm a 4th gen Oilman from Petrolia Ontario Canada.... This is by far the best vid I've ever come across! We have a working Oil Museum here in town if ever anyone wants to see the birth place of the Oil Industry (Shameless plug)
Thank you!
Its the higher sulfur in the sour that helped in the wear test. It helps with lubricity in motor oils.
Mr Project Farm, I feel like I'm not showing you the respect that you deserve by not addressing you by name. If you prefer to keep it private, I totally understand why, but can I ask your first name? I'm Craig from Texas. Once again, thanks for another awesome video. Several of us are looking forward to some diesel oriented videos in the future, hopefully you can brew some up for us. Thanks again friend!!
Hi Craig, Sorry about not mentioning my name. It's Todd. I need to get those diesel videos underway soon. The old diesel engine I have is sort of OCD...old, cranky and dangerous. LOL!
Love ur every video..
Thank you!
That was very cool. I did not expect the crude to work at all.
Thank you
That was very interesting... Thanks for your effort...
Thank you
Sulphur = high pressure additive. That's why gear oils have that heavy, sour smell ;-)
Great point!
Some ATF has that smell, too.
Got you recorded on the velocity channel!!
Thank you! I'm rather surprised they expressed interest in the channel.
Project Farm Far out!👍
Don't be. You're genuine which is a Very Rare rarity!
Use crude oil as engine oil
Evan Hord,
Which show on Velocity?
I know nothing about cars, nor do I really have an interest in learning more, but gosh dang it I needed this channel in my life.
Thank you for the feedback
Very interesting - love the channel
Thanks!
Try to run wood gas in you engine! I suppose you’ll have to build some sort of contraption but that’s just good content
Love your videos cheers
Thank you for the video idea!
You mean methanol? Distilled from wood?
I bet it is been said in the comment section but yeah: try the sour crude oil as motoroil please! It did great on score test!
Thank you for another brilliant video!
I bet there is just me that asking for a test with Compressed Natural Gas on the vapor running engine.
I’m asking noe because I know that stuff is burning quite hot and the CNG driving busses we have here in our fleet keeping the engine fan on all the time here in 27 degrees celcius to keep engine temperature normal. I belive the CNG have fairly low carbon build up and maybe makes the small engine run quieter too as it does on the big bus engines.
I’m really curious to see what happening to a vapor running small engine when it’s feeded with CNG :D
Thank you for the video idea!
I truly appreciate all the time and effort you put into these videos, looks like your having fun! Hope your making a buck or two. Btw, if I fully watch your ads do you profit?
I do profit by your watching all the ads. Thanks!
Very good video! Thank you, sir.

When using you lubricity tester I think you should let it run for 10 or 15 seconds with no load before adding weight... would be interested to see if the oils can build a a film strength before adding load
Thank you for the recommendation!
Don't change your method when you want to compare new results to old.
Put it this way when you start your car do you instantly rev it to the moon? Or do you let it warm up... I think certain oils with additives will bring a better result if it runs at "idle"
Brent Zandstra in your car engine you have an oil pump trying to move cold oil through narrow passages into bearings or to the cylinder heads. Not quite the same as oil in a solo cup.
If you listen in the background, you can hear Five Finger Death Punch being played from a US Army HUMMER as they were alerted by the two words
"CRUDE OIL"
lol. Thank you!
In all seriousness, I enjoy your videos. Ever thought about finding a decent junk yard car engine to try these experiments in?
The pool pump motor repair guy approved ! that was good info farm man
Not sure why people asked this but it's hilarious. No one would ever do that other than you. Love it.
Thanks!
