The hydrogen certainly helped start the conflagration, but it was the
nitro- based paints that really caused the problems.
Saw a special on that. The hydrogen didn't start the fire, it was

I haven't noticed that blinker / headlight fluid effect so much, but if you
keep the air in all five tires changed on a regular basis [with a standard
25% helium mix] you won't
Wouldn't running a higher percentage helium mix further lighten the load
resulting in impressive improvements in fuel economy?
Of course you must be running with german helium or your suspension could get
all squirrely.

I usually put an 80% mix in my tires, it seems to work pretty well. I
add some oxygen, CO2, and some other exotic gases as well using a
special mixing apparatus I have in the garage. I have noticed
significant performance gains when I use this special mixture, sorta
