Paul:

Man, I wish you had asked me earlier about creating gasoline
equivalents.  One day I heard my dad, back when he was working on the
Pershing I, mumbling to himself about this.  I took some notes and when
I went to college, me and a whole bunch of my frat buddies perfected
these two recipes.

Making a gasoline simulator in a college frat house is a snap!  It's
safe, cheap, and requires only a minimum of effort.  No need for
paranoid care and precise mixtures, as we must do with dangerous gasoline.

The only absolute requirement that me and my frat brothers discovered
was that, while making these substitutes, every member of the team had
to be well lubricated  (BAL> 90 proof).

Recipe #1

a.  First, in an old washtub in the back yard, slosh together some
Aerozine 50 and nitrogen tetroxide.  Don't know how to make these
ingredients?  No problem!

    1.  Aerozine 50 is easily made by mixing 50% UDMH [Unsymmetrical
        dimethylhydrazine] and 50% straight hydrazine.  Pour into glass
bowl and let
        simmer.

    2.  To make nitrogen tetroxide, use the same washtub as above (you
don't even have
        to rinse it out!) dump in hydrazine and
unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine.  Whisk
        until the egg whites puree.  Pour it into its own glass bowl
and let it simmer.

b.  After an appropriate number of keggers for the entire crew, return
to your old washtub.  In the washtub, fold together equal measures of
Aerozine 50 and nitrogen tetroxide to make a bang-up gasoline simulator.
Much safer, too.

Recipe #2

Of course, Aniline and Hydrazine, mixed in the same back yard washer,
(remember to use the metal spoon) is even closer to gasoline, and safer,
but it smells like freshly planted turnips from  Argentina.
Embarrassingly, it irresistibly attracts all Mooneys (made since 1973)
that are parked downwind of it.  Really crowds the flight line, the
Mooneys all crowding around the washer, sniffing the stuff.  So I'd go
with the first recipe.

Of course, everything I have just written is wholly and absolutely
factual.  I am absolutely, totally, completely serious about everything
I wrote here.  Here, check this website:

It was good enough for Brave Speedlove to accelerate
at 100 MPH per second but I think you need to be more careful
about making it :)
