We know that in a post apocalyptic world when modern luxuries can no longer be taken for granted, the guys at Garage54 will still be driving Ladas around.

Now we're making tire moonshine

It would be interesting to send a sample of this to a lab and have it tested to see it's chemical makeup and also do an octane test

A spark plug comparison after each test would have been interesting to see.

The fact that tires cant truly be disposed of and dont break down over time, this could be a legit alternative fuel if done correctly on a mass scale.

With pyrolysis you can get all your fuels. Lower Temps give gasoline, then you also get you butane, diesel, jet fuel, all at different temperatures. The fuel is 100% fine to use in engines, it just needs a little bit of cleaning, like through steel wool, clay pebbles, bubbled through water. There are many ways to do it. Even the gas that comes out of the last bubbler can be compressed and stored in gas cylinders and used on gas stoves. It might smell bad, but remember that commercial fuels are washed, bleached, chemicals are added to give it different smells.

I was quite surprised. Figured it would run, but expected lots of pinging due to low octane. You guys never fail to deliver.

I grew up making shine. Your setup would be more efficient if you put a little wood wedge between each coil. The setup you have will have hot spots where the coil is touching itself.

I saw a video of a guy in northern Missouri that took saw dust, burned it to heat tires, which put off a gas. He had like a distillery. First tank was diesel, second was gasoline and third was for gas. Diesel, ran saw mill engine, gasoline powered his pickup, gas heated his house and part of the mill. He also had scrap steel to sell, and carbon black to sell.

That fluid seems to have more energy density than ordinary gasoline. Try to tune up the carb, make the mixture more lean, if it starts pinging retard the ignition a bit. I think you can get over 10km on that run.

Fuel is made in large Fractional Stills, the higher vapours end up at the top and work down through kerosene, to Diesel, leaving Tar at the bottom which is used to make the roads. He could potentially Tar the road outside the garage 54.

A big big thumbs up on this one. Old tyres are a huge problem, there is almost no use for them. The best way to get rid of anything it to turn it from waste into a resource .

Reminds me of a story I heard about oil refinery workers back in the 60s and 70s. They would tank up their cars of free white gas because it was free. It worked but made the cars run like crap and smoke.

There are plastic recycling plants that do something like this, there is also lots of relatively clean incineration

One thing, I like how you make complex DIY project look simple

What you have here is more like a mixture of gasoline and diesel, maybe some trace alcohols. The left-over stuff can be used as creosote, to preserve wood. A taller still with a collumn would be very helpful.

I would like to see this fuel used in a fuel injected engine! Great results!

yep thats the way you do it , redistill the crude liquid to get a more pure fuel solution, distillation a couple of times makes the good stuff

Good use of old tires, now you can use the leftover residue for the heating fuel and no waste. Awesome job guys 👏

It would be interesting to run a dyno test on the two different fuels and see the difference it makes in horsepower and torque

taking into consideration the current state of the world. If there were more people like you guys focused on building and making things work ,we would be in far better shape .. Nicely done.

Love this channel. I especially liked the whiteboard cartoons... you guys must have fun at work!

Only thing I would do different is after the cracking the crude I would wash the finished product with water to remove the solids. It’s a simple process and would probably give you really similar results only less residues to clean up

Another terrific experiment from Garage 54, I absolutely love your video's and furthermore its good experience for your young mechanic's .Greeting's to you all from Melbourne Australia.

Really probably need a bubbler cap distillation column, and some good thermometers to catch the right fraction. Remember, that straight run gasoline is known as white gasoline (naptha) which is very low octane compared to modern gasoline which is enhanced with additives.

I would like to see what the valves and piston in the cylinder looks like after running that synthetic gas for a bit. I guess you could keep refining the synthentic until it's as clean as pump gas.

Каждый раз, когда вы перегоняете топливо, оно должно становиться более горючим, а также уменьшать запах. Если хотите, попробуйте пропустить газ через активированный уголь. (каждый раз, когда вы перегоняете топливо, у вас остается немного меньше газа). «газ означает бензин», также добавьте немного заменителя свинца, это смазает клапаны и седла и уменьшит пожелтение, а также проверьте уровень угарного газа (c/o). Для карбюратора стехиометрическое соотношение должно быть примерно от 1,4 до 1,5) (впрыск должен быть примерно от 0,4 до 0,6).

I was hoping you guys would use this as fuel! Good results

I have a feeling the Sulphur content is high as sulfur is used when making tires. Very interesting video. Thanks for sharing it.

The tire extract showed approximately 7% increase in fuel economy. Not huge but significant. This would be a great way to get rid of the millions of tires stacked in landfills while also reducing dependence on fossil crude.

I've been studying pyrolysis of waste plastics into fuel oils for about 4 years now. Im so very happy to see someone FINALLY try it in a vehicle.

Just solved the tyre problem

Vlad and the guys would be the ones to have on your side in the event of the Apocalypse!

A high compression engine would love this nasty stuff. I bet it's higher octane and of course more energy dense. Put this in a modern V6, tune it and dyno. That would be a killer video. Homemade race fuel!

You need a low tempature for refining fuel. Only 35 degrees C or 95 degrees F is needed to boil gasoline. You could use a solar thermal heater to boil gasoline. Kerosene boils at 150 degrees C or 300 degrees F. But if you run kerosene over a carbon felt and blow air through it you should also make a fuel vapor for condensing.

Imagine the millions if not billions of tyres just left in landfill that can easily be utilised in this way.

I'm in Detroit, Michigan and I'm a hard neck. Rough jerk and I admire your brutality. I just wish I knew what you were saying. I don't like the translation but I deal with it. You guys are always encouraging. I just wish people would want to be more like that.

You could get a similar result from wood pyrolysis as either a gas or a liquid fuel.

There is a company in Louisiana US that makes diesel Fuel from tires for offroad vehicles mainly Boats in the ocean.

Tires are made of polybutadiene, basically a big long tangle of unsaturated hydrocarbons. "Cracking" the tire compound results in a mix of liquid hydrocarbons of varying length. The soot is due to carbon-carbon double bonds still present in the fuel, something that gasoline tries to minimize for cleaner burning. If you were to take this "tire extract" and bubble hydrogen gas through it in the presence of a metal catalyst (Nickel or Palladium I think???) you'd reduce the number of C-C double bonds and get something that's even closer to gasoline than what you have already.

So another words in a post apocalypse mad max world, an effective fuel is not difficult to make. I'm surprised with the last test.

Nilered should try chemistry part of this

I would definitely try pulling a vacuum on the still. After the crude is added. Seal the still and only open to the condenser when it has started making pressure. Crack the long chain molecules. I would not exceed about half the containers rated pressure, .5 bar atleast should do something . Traditional tires are made from rubber tree sap, latex. Then sulphur and charcoal dust and probably other minerals chemicals, to change the properties of the rubber, im guessing innertubes would be a excellent source of rubber for distilling. Or pyrolysis.. next do the same with wood/saw dust! Make methanol , maybe mix the two! Someone is building a plant to produce synthetic gasoline in their yard as we sit here!😆. Seriously, im thinking about it!

It's nice that the channel is growing! It is well deserved. Keep it up. Can't wait for the next video!

I love this channel. You guys are the best

You guys always do some amazing stuff. Great job to all of you.

Adds a whole new meaning to burning rubber! Run 10 liters through and do a plug comparison before and after to see if there is any significant ash or goo on the plugs.

Very cool! I was surprised to see how easy you extracted this. I think this would be interesting for Nile Red

you can also use plastic trash too

Great test! Now try acetone in regular gasoline. 30ml of acetone to 19L of petrol is the ideal ratio.Change the concentration and see how much acetone can be mixed with fuel before the engine runs poorly. My best is 148ml to 49L of gas.

The different fractions of gases (butane) and then gasoline, diesel and crude oil will condensate at different temps. Having several outlets for different products at different temps of condensation will give you several products at once. Like one pipe going downwards with different taps along the way

The light fluid is theory mostly "Isoprene", it has very similar properties to crude gasoline; light weight, and low boiling point

It is a Lada, I believe it would run on the crude oil just as well :)

Now let’s do a video on how the different fuels effect the engine life, and measure carbon build up within and on the engine components.

It's wild that this popped up today. Just earlier I drove past this guy's house who used to turn recycled plastic into penetrating spray for nuts n such when I worked in a garage. It was some of the best stuff that I ever used and I just happened to be thinking about that not even 2 hours before seeing this.

This is rad. There's a medium duty freight truck with a 6 cylinder carburated engine nearby that i want. I might have to make my own fuel for it, and put it to work

That was very interesting! Maybe sulfur would be a problem if you use this long term. There is alot of sulfur in rubber. I think it may form sulfuric acid after the combustion

Id LOVE to see the engine condition in an extended running scenario of the tire/gas. Will it kill it over time, or no difference?

"What do you drive?" "A Lada" "What are your 0-60 times?" 'Eventually"

activated charcoal, and a filter should remove odor and large particles. distilling should remove more solids and viscous materials in each loop, 3 times is usually a rule of thumb or best practice for spirits. they place 3 stills in line with each other. the final steps of each have their own filter medium to pass through. and it cycles around. the longer it runs the cleaner and more pure it gets.

Interesting. I'd love to see a burn temperature, Very cool.

Great job guys! In the previous video I've commented that I wouldn't be suprised if some old Lada would run better on your stuff (as a semijoke). Heh, turn out I was right. I wonder if your gas is that good or is it that what they sell us is garbage. Or maybe both. I bet that with some proper refining and careful blending you could make something even better.

I love this channel. Always interesting to watch. Greetings from Sweden

thats an excellent result, congratulations! you forgot to mention: no knocking and no smoking as far as i can tell on the screen.

Way to go, how about using plastics to make your fuel and see what the result are.

You can take the colouring out of red diesel with cat litter so I dare say you will be able to do the same to clean the petrol. Try it in your next video please 👍❤️💛💚

These two episodes are one of the most successful and best episodes. I wish to know more details like what the first burner’s estimated temperatures were, and how long it ran the second time.

I will be doing this and a gassifier to power my things in a post apocalyptic world. Good job once again guys

Would be interesting what the octane rating of the synthetic fuel is. And repeat the test with a fuel injection vehicle where the O2 sensor regulates the air/fuel mix.

Works exactly like my alcohol still

It looks like the Emilianenko brothers business change of direction. The Emilianenkos diesel garage!

You should filter the left over crude and try running it in a Diesel.

It would be interesting to see what the combustion chambers looked like before, And after using the synthetic fuel.

Always amazing on this channel never a dull moment.love it.

We're all gonna need it with rising fuel prices. They actually already do this in areas of africa and central/south america remote villages. It works well enough cut with a little alcohol.

Based on the burn and the heat in the cup, I'd say you made 115-120 octane, ill bet if you tuned it /adjusted the timing you'd get much better results.

It would be interesting to use that fuel on a modern fuel injection car as well. You’re using an old Lada carb engine. 😀

As long as you have old tyres you have a supply of synthetic petrol for your fleet of Ladas

Garage 54 could learn a bit from the residents of North Carolina. I remember popcorn sutton running out of fuel when delivering a load.

Probably needs different ignition timing for the fuel if not different jetting.

I would be very interested to see the difference when used in a computer controlled vehicle since it seems that the fuels are different enough to see gains there as well, even though we don't know the proper afr.

बहुत शानदार प्रयोग था! रूस के लोग बेहद बुद्धिमान और मेहनती होते हैं और बिना विशेष उपकरण के भी शानदार वैज्ञानिक प्रयोग कर लेने में महारत हासिल कर लेते हैं! मेरा सुझाव है कि अब आप लोग खाद्य सामाग्री उपयोग कर अल्कोहल बनाएँ और उससे गाड़ी चलाएँ!

Thank you for enduring the risk of explosion & burnt tire smells for us... cool experiment.

I hope you are going to get your condenser further away from your pot. Id hate to see a flashback. Awesome video as always though. 4:51

I wonder if filtering your synth gas would remove a lot of the particulates and maybe the rubber bits still suspended in the solution. Small filter like 10 micron or something. Not sure what it would typically be filtered at.

Look into a process called ( thermal depolymization) it was an article in discovery science mag in the 90s Basically a grinder pressure cooker using high pressure steam to break down things. They built a plant at the butter ball turkey factory for processing all the organic waste they get light sweet crude oil from the process that still needs to be refined. Just spit balling ideas. Great video

You can also distill fuel from plastic and foam found in car interiors.

Oil companies want to know your location 😤

Being that it seems to run alot richer, can you advance the timing a bit to clean up the burn and gain a few extra ponies?

Honestly, the Impurities that remain in the Synthetic (or Extracted Fuel) probably has a considerable amount more "Lubricants" that can make the Cylinders move easier - the Oils and Carbon Soot may contain Graphine as well as Tires contain Graphine sometimes, that would help the engine move easier, -I mean, yeah, emissions, but as a cool project that It's Doable is pretty cool. Me and a friend built a Gassifier in the back of a Dodge Pickup Truck that the truck had a wood fire in the Rear and would Steep out Gasoline from the wood and condense it directly into the Fuel Line, so, it ran in Wood Vapor. People in town couldn't believe it.

Unos pequeños consejos que te van a permitir mejorar la calidad bastante con poco costo. Lo primero es que todo el proceso se basa en la pirolisis de hidrocarburos pesados, más pasadas de los compuestos pesados van a degradarse en compuestos más ligeros. En la industria esto se hace en reactores catalíticos. Esto quiere decir que más pasadas y mejor manejo de la temperatura te van a permitir obtener lo que buscas con un mejor rendimiento. Los compuestos más ligeros como los gases butanos, propanos, etanos y metanos te van a permitir continuar el proceso al usarlos para recalentar el reactor pirolítico, una vez iniciado el proceso. La gasolina evapora alrededor de 75° a 85° centígrados aproximadamente, lo ideal es extraer el condensado a esa temperatura, lo demás reenviarlo al reactor o a uno que trabaje a menores temperaturas. Esto va a eliminar los aceites más pesados presentes en la combustión, dejando solo lo que le hace bien al motor. Primero a más pasadas por el condensador mejor calidad de combustible vas a obtener. Segundo es una materia prima con impurezas. Un neumático usado tiene inclusiones de metales (alambre y esquirlas), silicatos y otros compuestos que arrastran después de su mecanizado. Cuando lo pasas de sólido a líquido, en el primer ciclo de pirolisis, te van a quedar restos en el reactor y en la solución. Decantar y filtrar no es opcional, se tiene que hacer. El decantado se hace con un bidón de 6 litros de agua para aprovechar el embudo del recipiente como tolva. Hay recipientes plásticos de 25 y 40 litros muy económicos utilizados para elaborar cerveza que son más útiles. También se puede trabajar con acero. Se coloca una válvula para extraer la solución por encima del nivel predeterminado por el embudo. Un decantado promedio tarda de 24 a 72 horas y se puede realizar sin coste más allá de la perdida de un poco de solución que quede con los sólidos. El decantador se puede reutilizar después de lavarse. Y se tiene que lavar ni bien, se termina de usar para evitar que los sólidos se adhieran a la superficie. Después de un primer decantado grosero suele puedes usar filtro de tela o de papel. El de papel es mejor, pero no es reutilizable y tiene capacidades limitadas para trabajar en volumen. El de tela es un poco más reutilizable, pero una vez se sature debes eliminarlo igual. Esto te va a eliminar muchos residuos físicos y hollín, lo cual se traduce en una mayor vida del motor. Tercero puedes cortar el combustible usando un hidrocarburo más ligero como lo es el etanol para mejorar el rendimiento. Se usa mucho para mejorar sus cualidades. Hay países que a la gasolina le meten un 80% de etanol. Puedes usar los mismos condensadores como alambique para procesar algún fermento de frutas, granos o papa para obtener el etanol en cuestión y aumentar su graduación solo luego de un primer decantado y filtrado. Obviamente, el manejo de la temperatura y las levaduras es igual de importante. Si lo usas para quemar los echas todos los que salgan por debajo de 100 °C de condensación. Si lo usas para otra cosa cuidada con el metanol y los alcoholes más pesados.

I don't understand why a ceramic cup on top of an engine bay full of flammable rubber hoses and such is the choice location for the "test burn". Perhaps they wanted to create tension? Either way, fun video. Thanks!

I be curious what the CO² / emissions readings would be like with that fuel ? [ Edit] + the many other types of "emissions" given off...

Respect for all jur experiment Especialy dhe lada expefiments

i never thougt that gasoline fuel can be extracted on tires, great job guys. now thats educational...❤

Notification squad Have a nice weekend!🔥🔥🔥

..just wonder, how much is spent in the stove gas to extract it..

need to see the whole process. going to have to look back.

Thank you Garage 54, you guys are awesome

The setup you have used is a basic distillation system. In this type of setup collect gasoline only between ambient temperature and maximum 120 degC. Kerosene will be like 120 to 150 and then diesel from 150 to 210.
