Scooter op DIESEL proberen.

Summary

In this unique and humorous experiment, the hosts test various unconventional fuels in a two-stroke scooter to see how it performs. Starting with a mix of gasoline and oil, they proceed to test with washing benzine, lamp oil, and diesel. While washing benzine proves to be a surprisingly effective alternative, lamp oil fails to ignite, and diesel only works momentarily with the aid of brake cleaner. The experiment concludes with washing benzine as a viable short-term substitute, while lamp oil and diesel are deemed unsuitable for standard scooters. The video combines scientific curiosity with a light-hearted approach, leaving viewers entertained and informed about the adaptability of two-stroke engines to different fuels.

Takeaways

• 😀 They test running a scooter on various fuels like washer fluid, lamp oil and diesel
• 🚗 The scooter ran fine on washer fluid in the short term
• ⛽️ Lamp oil did not work at all as scooter fuel
• 🚨 Diesel also did not work as a fuel in the standard scooter
• 😷 The scooter smelled strongly of diesel when they tried it
• 🔧 They cleaned out the scooter after trying lamp oil as it got very dirty
• ❌ The scooter stopped running completely at one point and they weren't sure why
• ⚠️ They warn that they are bankrupt from these experiments!
• 🛢️ For the next video they plan to try 10W-40 oil, frying oil and water as fuel substitutes
• 😢 They conclude diesel does not work as a fuel in a standard scooter

Q & A

What fuels were tested in the scooter?

Washer fluid (wasbenzine), lamp oil (lampenolie), diesel, and high octane gasoline (102 octane) were tested.

Which fuel worked the best in the short term?

Washer fluid (wasbenzine) worked well in the short term.

Why did the lamp oil not work?

The lamp oil was too viscous and thick, causing the parts to stick together rather than properly lubricating the engine.

What happened when they tried diesel fuel?

The scooter started with brake cleaner fluid, but as soon as it switched to diesel it stopped running.

What fuel made the scooter run normally?

High octane 102 gasoline made the scooter run normally, like it would with standard gasoline.

What damaged the scooter throughout the experiments?

Letting various fuels leak on the floor likely caused damage and residue buildup in the scooter's engine and systems.

What potential fuels could be tested in the future?

Potential future test fuels mentioned were 10W-40 motor oil as a 2-stroke oil replacement, deep fryer oil as a 2-stroke oil replacement, and vinegar as a gasoline replacement.

Was the video successful in its goal?

Yes, the video succeeded in experimentally testing various uncommon fuels in a scooter engine to see the effects.

What safety precautions should have been taken?

More safety equipment like gloves and eyed protection should have been used when handling and testing combustible liquids.

What was learned from this experiment?

It was learned that unconventional fuels like washer fluids can work short-term in combustion engines, but for sustained use standard gasoline is best.
