Fuel Fragrances?!

Yup. fuel fragrances!

http://www.summitracing.com/search/B.../?autoview=SKU

just heard about these...
i know theyve been around for a long time, but i was just wondering, out of personal preference, which smells best?

not to sound gay or anything.. but id find it pretty funny if a bad *** car pulls up next to me and smells like grape

also, ive heard this doesnt work with cars that have cat, is that true?

got me a stock 1986 firebird id like to try it on, thanks in advance guys!

Re: Fuel Fragrances?!

It shouldn't affect the smell on a car with cats. When I ran racing gas I would smell it for a month after the fuel was gone.

Re: Fuel Fragrances?!

We carry, them. It does not affect the engine in anyway...it is just a novelty.
IMO the best fragrances are Reefer Madness, grape, cherry bomb, rasberry,vanilla. You can actually smell the fragrance around the cap. We sell a ton of this stuff from spring throughout the summer. It's pretty cool.
People put it in their lawn mower, jet ski, boat.
I've also heard that some guys use it at the track....especially the reefer madness.

Whats really funny is when the cop gets behind you and pulls you over, "but sir its just fuel Fragrances!". Next thing you know your on the ground cuffed and a german shepherd is climbing all over your car looking for pot and scratching your paint to hell, all while your screaming "smell the tailpipes smell the tailpipes!!!".

....... ill stick to the cherry bomb, or just grape lol

Re: Fuel Fragrances?!

I use it on my car. 4" exhaust no muffler no cat its strong and the smell will travel wherever you are. Pulling in to car shows it turns heads, and draws attention.

Its not all that strong of a smell in the bottle but if you get a little on your hand it lasts a couple of days before the smell leaves you. Last weeks or months if you spill some gas on the ground with that stuff mixed in.

I use cherry. Havent tried anything else. Got a couple in a goody bag at a car show and haven't needed to buy any.
