I finished my high school graduation project two months ago. The purpose of it was to make a racing fuel by myself. My teacher knew someone who works at Shell, and next thing I know I'm working together with Shell on this project. I ended up using MTBE too, which was very expensive to get, and after I calculated the perfect amount of additive MTBE needed for my fuels, I had to use special safety equipment to blend it with the base fuel I used. Over at Shell they were so impressed that they offered to run tests on the fuels at their refinery in Rotterdam (NE). They tested it and they gave it it's own lable, which was very cool. They told me that my fuel was of very high quality, and they could sell it for a very high price per liter. That is also the reason it is not available at gas stations, because very few people would actually use fuel that is that expensive. But after all, I scored a 10 on my project so I'm happy :).

How about 100LL that you can get at small airports

This is a wonderful video. I work at a small engine shop and love learning how to the world around us works. I have never seen this subject broken down into such detail and I plan on using this info to better educate my customers and myself. Thank you so much! I love the channel and would love to meet you guys one day!

Donut’s ads are probably the only ones I watch because they’re classic 😂

For the non-American people: 8, 115 euro per liter for the racefuel.

This mini series is crazy interesting ! Also it opens so much room for new content ! Now you're doing it on liquids and stuff, but then you could do wraps, tires, and even car parts !

Kinda brings me back to the science garage days, loving the science and technical side of it ! Don't be afraid to include more !

Also thank you for including dirtbikes in there, really loved it, a lot of us ride those things.

“This gas costs $3.70 a gallon.”

Day 267 of asking James to do an Up to speed on his Dad

Great video! As a Shell engineer, the quality of the gas is important (use Top Tier) but the ECM in your car will only generate the highest power with the Octane fuel that it is designed for. Using any other octane is simply a waste of money.

Everyone that watches Chris fix, “Oh I know who’s wrong, I know, I know.”

[woahhobble_]

$3.70 is the "cheap gas"
*laughs in midwestern* (it's like $2.05 a gal. currently)

[Matt-yjlz]

So my wife's Prius had engine knock issue and I randomly decided to put the 93 gas in it and it went away... Is there a reason that worked?

[mistrsloth]

This would have been a great science garage episode
