Green fluid?
 
Is there any green fluid in our cars? I found some on the snow under my car but I dunno what it is. I know our coolant is blue. Only thing I can think of is maybe windshield washer cause I can't remember what color the stuff I put in last time was XD

I suggest you do an experiment. Take a spoon full of windshield washer fluid and a spoon full of coolant and pour them on the snow beside the subject spot and compare.

If you don't get a match - aliens? - :eyebulge:

Green is the color of the rain-x that is supposed to be good at wiping bug guts off the windshield.

Your coolant, if OE, should be blue.

I think you car might have leaked some TEB (triethyl borane).
It's used to start the Space X rocket motors as well as those used on the SLS.
It was also used to start the engines on the SR71.
Why are u using it in your car?

You'll be lucky to see 2 million using that stuff in your engine. There's a new thread on using this fuel weekly, you need to be sure you have a grounding kit installed. Even still, there's danger to manifold.

Duude! What tune are you running? Can I just use an E85 tune? Or is there a kit?

My 56 year old freak memory says is that Craig Breedlove? I read about the world land speed record on the Indy salt flats in the late 60's in a grade school library book.

Well, you're in the right time period. The picture is of Art Arfons and one of his "green monsters". He and Craig Breedlove passed the world land speed record back and fourth, back in the 1960s.

The first "green monster" I saw raced, was back in the late 1950s at Kil-Kare drag strip near Dayton, Ohio. That early version of Art Arfons green monster was a piston engine, powered by a Allison V-12, supercharged aircraft engine. - :thumbsup:
