Say if I poured several litres of nitro into a petrol car fuel tank, that was half full of petrol. So 50/50, would it cause the car to explode at any point or will it just wreck the engine? Is there any substance that when poured into a petrol or diesel tank will blow the car up on ignition if there is still petrol in the tank?

Lets get real--your not going to make liters of nitroglycerin much less be able to buy any . pouring nitro into gas or diesel will eliminate the instability of the nitro. You may wreck the engine with burnt valves , damaged fuel system, or blown head gasket--but the car won't explode. So go back to your Comic books.

If you survived the process of pouring Nitro in to a car's fuel tank, you would probebly not survive an attempted start of said vehicle. And with a half a tank of gas (petrol), the fireball would be seen for miles! Let me know when you want to try this so I can watch it on the news!

I don't know the ratio to make stable nitro. But they make that kind of gas for remote controlled cars. But as for a normal car engine, you would go really fast for 5 seconds the engine would just start crapping parts out its back end. Even on the RC cars the engine have to be rebuilt after about 10 hours of use. I wouldn't do it.

Work for youself - become a handy man/odd job man. You'll get paid as soon as you've done the job so if you can find a local job or two you'll have enough for a full tank of petrol and a sandwich. Stick a note in your local newsagent's window. I'm sure the work will come pooring in. Oh, don't forget to tell the taxman - they don't like it when people work for cash.

Finding or making that much nitro (and not having the powers to be finding out about it) will be amazing. I don't think you will be able to pore it in the tank without going to the moon. If you got it in and to the cylinder, remember, gasoline "burns", nitro detonates. You will be picking up your pistons off the road.

It reads as if you are contemplating murdering someone by this means. I wouldn't go on Yahoo! with such a question if I were you. The computer trail will lead back to you.

Terrorist guy... just hit CostCo and get a gallon of Tabasco sauce. That'll do what you want. And remember, the committee will disavow all knowledge.
Dodge man... you say moonshine, we say "E85" :)
