QCADTA Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Fill it with kerosene, let it sit a while then give it a shake and empty. Fill it again and set on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ned Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 This has been asked a few times in the past now, Pour in some petrol, move it about until all of the inside is coated in petrol and light the thing on fire. Simple and it works No i'm not being a dick, thats how you did it in "The good old days" and thats how most still do it Ned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sexychevette Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 you already asked this before... put it on the bbq. or like the other fulla said put petrol inside and add match. BBQ style of heating it from the outside works also tho. Have a look on youtube. I was searching for twostroke stuff once and saw some videos about it. never watched them but they were titled 'how to decarbon your expansion chamber' or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you is was a 400 year old cottage and the walls were 3 feet thick... pretty safe there And the nearest house was 2 miles away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFI_LC Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Yep I am an old 2-smoker from years gone by and the best recipe back then was remove the baffle and throw onto a hot fire and for the exhaust soak in petrol for as long as you can and then hot hot flame inside. Be careful... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vvega Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 you might wanna see what happens to carbon when it meets acid........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholdowa Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 you might wanna see what happens to carbon when it meets acid........ Well, not much, really as it's pretty inert. That's why it's so difficult to get rid of. It burns at around 400 degrees C which is why I suggested the blowtorch. You'll get a bit of life out of boiling conc suplhuric acid, but, for example, the addition of sulphuric acid to sugar ( eg sucrose ) leaves carbon behind. Activated carbon is used to purify hydrochloric acid. Sorry, me dad was a chemist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
