Have you ever seen it used? Any stories? Not much info I could find on the net. Nasty stuff.

I think this was a hydrazine run. There are a couple of different hydrazines, UDMH is probably the most common.

Proof positive that driving over the crankshaft is more than just a figure of speech.

Years ago,when we were young and stupid we added a mix of hydrazine and acotone to our fuel should have just used a dose of nitro.The only thing that I recall about those where how young and dumb I was. work whistling

This was the jump up in my altered when we were mixing ether and gas. Crazy power and real crazy hazardous.It was a one and done deal. I believe that it is a component of rocket fuel.

Order up a 5 gallon can of nitro. It is blast to run. makes your motor louder and smells like nitro. Makes folks eyes water all around you. drive

I thought I read somewhere that one of the hot shoes many years ago left a small container in a truck cab, and the heat in the cab set it off, destroying the truck!

UDMH is used as a storable rocket fuel with nitrogen tetroxide. Nasty sh#t! Poisonous, corrosive, often self igniting. S/F....Ken M
