methyl hydrate and emmisions

[tyson]

Hello boys and girls,<P>I just have a quick question. After failing the emissions test here in Vancouver Someone told me that I should put methyl hydrate in the gas tank. Now I know that you usually use this stuff for getting rid of water in the gas but does it actually change your emmisions?<P>If anyone has done this or has any info please post it.<P>Thanks Tyson.

I've tried that, and it didn't do me any good. If you're failing emissions, its probably for a good reason, and really, in your best interest to fix it anyway (better gas mileage, etc). My problem ended up being my O2 sensors (even though I never had a check engine light) You're supposed to replace them every 50-60,000 miles

Hey thanks for the reply.<P>My only problem is I failed because three out of my six cylinders have really low compression. So fixing that is a crazy amount of money. I think rather than rebuild I would probably opt for a Kl engine most likely the 03 just because of price and availability.<P>Tyson
