Gasoline contains polar substances like MTBK and in many countries also alcohols which are able to solubilize sucrose molecules (In the US, in several states, ethanol is added by law to a minimum level which is currently 5.9%). I guess, you don't need a high concentration of sugar in your gasoline in order to obtain a gradual caramelization effect that can ruine the engine... Somebody knows about a real study of sucrose solubility in commercial gasoline? I checked in google but couldn't find any data.... David www.2ajobguide.com |
