Re: 98 Jeep Wrangler and E85 fuel
LOL As Princes Di used complain about, wanting to be a traitor and buy a
Krout car.
My one English car experience was as '55 Austin Healey, aluminum body,
wire knock offs, lay down windshield but if it was fogging it shorted out,
and just stopped.

Re: 98 Jeep Wrangler and E85 fuel
Your experiment probably was the standard electrolysis, which generates
hydrogen and oxygen. If you put a small enough magnesium splinter in
the oxygen, particularly it it is at all wet, it would be expected to
react rather nicely. You should get a whitish smoke, magnesium oxide.
Trying it with hydrogen, not much will happen, as magnesium hydride is a
method for storing hydrogen... pretty easy to get the hydrogen loose
from the magnesium as opposed to trying to get the oxygen away from the
magnesium. The relative difficulty in splitting either one from the
magnesium compound is directly related to how readily they
combine...combine easy, split hard. Not that many schools would have
the equipment to make hydrogen combine with magnesium, plus it is a
multi step reaction and not overly spectacular.
