Technical grade peroxide (20% concentration by volume) produces more free oxygen in a combustion chamber than an equivalent volume of nitromethane. Hair bleaching peroxide, by comparison, is 4% concentration. Here's Dad's fuel mix from the 1950's- - - - -
Methanol- - - -75% by volume
Peroxide- - - - -20% by volume
Amyl Acetate- - - -5% by volume
The Amyl Acetate is a wetting agent to help the peroxide and the alky mix well. The mix is super corrosive- - - -they ran a stainless steel 8 gallon beer keg for a fuel tank, stainless steel tubing all the way to the carburetor, and ran the carb dry between races to keep the fuel from eating the bottom out of the float chamber! The carb got rebuilt once a week, right before the Saturday night racing program.
