Dear Jerry:

I have long been a fan of your site and have been an experimenter in
fuel system mods, now turning to magnetic field theory in an attempt
to recreate the antigrav device.  Of course, as a weirdo, I drift
into pyramids and CSE and other stuff, too.

I would like to join your mailing list, as I have recently completed
(to my satisfaction) tests on the use of Naptha as a gasoline
enhancement.

To date, I have accomplished-through trial after trial- boosting my
fuel economy by 83% by adding common moth balls to my tank at
fill-up.

Originally, I was getting 240 miles on a tank, and now, by doing
nothing other than adding 1 moth ball per 4 gallons, I got 440 as of
yesterday. My vehicle runs better than ever (a 2003 Town and Country)
and where my fuel pump was diagnosed near failure at the beginning of
my three-month trial, it is now in better shape than ever.  This
alone will save me over 600 in repairs.

Should you like to allow me to your list Id like you to add me at
*** because its my primary (and has been for almost three years now.

I have a website dedicated to my writing if you want to check it out:

http://www.childrenoftheis.com

where youll find I have dedicated my life to the service of my
fellow man.  If we can find some easy to apply methods that will
reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, we can relieve some of the
strangleholds applied to us by the oil companies.  Greater freedom is
a good thing!

Peace to you, Jerry, and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Thanks for the information about the Naptha and moth balls along with 
your mileage report to date.  Most interesting.

In the past, there have been reports of using windshield wiper fluid 
which is in many cases almost 99% methanol (wood alcohol) mixed with 
gasoline to increase mileage.  So Hillbillies have been making their own 
'fuel' for hundreds of years...<LOL>...

10/24/05 - 85% Methanol + 15% Gasoline to run your car

In 1978, the California Energy Commission (CEC) began experimenting with 
alternative fuel vehicles by testing blends of methanol in Honda Civics. 
In the mid-1980s, California's continuing efforts to encourage the 
development of alternative fuel vehicle technology led to the 
introduction of the methanol Flexible Fuel Vehicle (FFV). The FFV runs 
on either methanol or gasoline, or any combination of the two fuels. 
Operating primarily on "M-85" - a blend of 85% methanol and 15% gasoline 
- the FFV provides the flexibility to refuel with gasoline in areas 
where methanol may be unavailable. More than 15,000 methanol FFVs built 
by major automakers were sold, with the majority operating in 
California. To support these vehicles, the CEC reached agreements with 
ARCO, Chevron, Exxon, Mobil, Shell, Texaco and Ultramar (Beacon) in 
building a network of sixty M-85 fueling stations across the state. (in 
1998) At the pump, methanol prices range from about 88" to $1.10 per 
gallon of methanol. Since methanol has roughly half the energy content 
of a gallon of gasoline, the actual cost to the consumer is closer to 
$1.50 per gallon. With the close of the 1998 model year, the Ford Motor 
Company discontinued its production of methanol Taurus FFVs.

10/24/05 - FEDEX van tests highly successful using Methanol

Through the "CleanFleet" program, five alternative fuels were tested in 
84 panel vans, including 20 Ford vans fueled with "M-85" -- a blend of 
85% methanol and 15% gasoline. The Ford vehicles were gasoline vans 
modified as flexible fuel vehicles, capable of operating on any mixture 
of methanol and gasoline -- from 85% methanol to 100% gasoline. The M-85 
vans were fueled from a 4,000-gallon, above-ground, vaulted tank 
installed at the FedEx facility in Santa Ana. Since methanol is a liquid 
fuel similar to gasoline, no modifications had to be made to the vehicle 
garage and maintenance facilities. The methanol vans performed extremely 
well, with the highest vehicle availability and driver use, and the 
lowest number of repair order days per 100 service days of the 
alternative fuels demonstrated. When drivers were asked if they were 
able to meet their regular schedule with the alternative fuel vehicles, 
fully 96% said yes to M-85, the strongest positive response. In fact, 
more than half of the M-85 drivers said they would consider driving a 
methanol vehicle for their personal car. The driving range of the M-85 
vans was 57% of the gasoline vans or 173 miles -- the furthest driving 
range of the alternative fuels demonstrated and compatible with urban 
fleet operations. Estimated costs for a fleet of 50 M-85 vans in 1996 
ranged from 38.3 to 44.7 cents per mile, depending on the price of 
methanol. Today, methanol is selling at or below the lower baseline price.

10/24/05 - 2005 Tips on Buying Methanol in bulk

Methanol can be bought through several types of distributors, as it is 
sold for several different uses. The price can vary from $2 a gallon to 
$4 a gallon. Methanol is made from natural gas and the price fluctuates 
with the price of natural gas. It is sold either 'by the gallon' (ie 
bring your own gas cans) or by the drum- 15, 30, or 55 gallon drums. For 
test batches, we often use yellow bottle Heet brand gas line antifreeze 
(99% methanol) from auto parts stores. But for anything larger than a 
liter, you'll need to find a better supply. To find methanol suppliers, 
I usually dig into the yellow pages and search several categories: 1. 
Automotive racing- the easiest place to find methanol is usually through 
auto race tracks, racing engine builders, or performance shops. This is 
usually categorised in several different ways in the yellow pages- 
performance, auto, racing, racetracks. These sources are likely to sell 
it 'by the gallon' although that is not always the case. Some racetracks 
are seasonal. 2. Petroleum distributors- methanol is also an alternative 
fuel and is used in some applications as a fuel additive. I've had good 
luck finding it by calling bulk petroleum distributors. They are likely 
to carry it year-round, but are likely to sell only full drums. Yellow 
pages: petroleum, fuel, or gasoline, wholesale or bulk. If they don't 
carry it they may know who does.

Hi Ian,
Since Methanol is wood alcohol I imagine that it is not very hard to
make. There are probably sources of information on the Internet. For
that matter some good corn squeezins (bootleg whiskey produced in 
backyard stills) would work equally well as far as I know. - MJ

How to make wood alcohol;

------------------
Along with various other methods such as misting, spraying, heating, 
ultrasonically exciting gas to get a cleaner burn, higher mileage and 
more power.

Ultrasonic Water & Gasoline Mix;

http://www.keelynet.com/energy/cottell.htm
------------------
As well the mixing of gasoline and diesel with other fuels such as with 
biodiesel, cooking oil, vegetable oils, animal fat and hydrogen injected 
into the gas.
------------------
The use of a few drops of detergent with water and gas as developed and 
tested so successfully by Gunnerman is quite excellentm, yielding 
successful combustion up to 70% water with 30% gas.

The detergent acts to change the surface tension of water molecules, 
expanding them to allow the gas to mix in a colloidal form that is 
combustible.

There are also many devices claiming to increase mileage without 
reducing horsepower, ranging from crystals to magnetics to vaporizing 
tubes and the spook claims of tachyon energy.

A new one I just posted is called Khaos from the Phillipines which 
claims a minimum increase of 15% to as high as 50% simply by attaching 
this gasoline turbo charger to the line.  They say the secret is to 
increase the fuel to air mix ratio....normally 1:1 but with there little 
tube gadget, it provides 1 part gas to 15 parts air, 1:15.

This Khaos info is posted at Keelynet.com now 11/09-11/10 but will move 
to the archives within the next two days where it is easily accessed.

A savvy businessman could make a LOT of money by importing these things 
in bulk and selling them in the US, Europe and China since the only 
vendors I could see were in the Phillipines and possibly Taiwan.

If anyone reads this and does make a fortune, remember to make a big

This is the Khaos Turbo Charger;

11/09/05 - Device claims it can save 15% up to 50% on fuel usage

Inventionhaus International Corp. (IIC) assistant vice president for the 
Visayas and Mindanao Jerry Eusebio said Pablo Planas invented a 
gasoline-saving device he called, khaos, which lessens a vehicles fuel 
consumption by as much as 50 percent. Khaos, Greek word meaning goddess 
of air, is a small device that is attached to the vehicles engine.

It corrects the mixture of air and fuel into 15 parts of air to one part 
of gas, thereby saving gasoline consumption by a maximum of 50 percent 
and a minimum of 15 percent. Without the device, the ratio of air to 
fuel of most vehicles is 1:1, Eusebio said.

But while it is popular in other countries such as China, Taiwan, 
Australia and the United States, only 70,000 units or 30 percent of 
IICs total production of khaos has been sold in the country.

Taiwan has been buying khaos in bulk because they require all registered 
vehicles in their country to make use of the device to save fuel.

Lots of ways to tinker with trying to get better mileage without 
sacrificing horsepower.  There is a company online who is selling a 
retrofit kit to generate hydrogen from water which is then mixed with 
the gas feeding the carburetor, but I don't have that info handy.  Its 
probably in the archives.

I need to make an INDEX for each of the archive pages which are huge for 
each month and tedious to search with the browser find feature.  Much 
better to have an index with a brief header that people can scan through 
for items of interest.

With regard to your naptha experiments, could you tell us what the 
gallons to mix ratio is and the mileage improvement?

Pints of Naptha : Gallons of gas?
mileage improvement (without vs with)?

Thanks for providing the information about the mothballs where you wrote;

1 mothball for each 4 gallons of gas
yielded extended mileage from 240 to 440 miles

Its always nice to have practical information for those wanting to try 
the experiment for themselves!

Thanks for the kind words and the 'excuse' to compile this additional 
info, you should be on as a subscriber by now.
