Reminds me of a story from my youth. My bro's & I welded up and sold mini-bike frames as kids, so our garage was full of various contraptions, all of which constantly depleted my dad's gas can, much to his consternation.
We paid regular visits to the local auto salvage yards snooping around collecting things. Opened a car trunk once and found a HUGE display bottle of Aramis cologne...like a gallon of the stuff!! We'd heard the stories about antique engines burning anything, so, no gas in Dad's gas can meant in the Aramis went! Who'd a thunk? The mini-bikes ran OK on the stuff!!

The only issue was, a few passes up & down the street and the entire neighborhood smelled like a New Orleans Bordello!! Lord our neighbors just loved us.
Call me anything you want...just so long as it isn't "late for dinner"
