Hey Kenneth!
How goes the research. Interestingly, I was just following up on what was being said in this forum, and you say the "Dr." is out, hmmm! Anyway, to let you know as well, Ferrocene might be an anti-knocking agent and as I read up where you suggested to go and see what it had to say as well, but I talked with some of the mechanics and right away, 4 of them said that Ferrocene is one way of using a system for magnetic purposes for the chemical to "bond" to the service of the metal in your engine, because of the charging, (positive) between the compound and the negative charge of the engine. Well turn off the engine and no more charge and what happens, it goes back to the oil pan, and the gas tank or whatever they say that they put it in, there additives, or oil treatments. It is also a way for companies that use Teflon as a way for there oil additive, or treatment to be fair, Kenneth, that it bonds as well, using the same "magnetic" treatment, so the lubricant will not drain down to the oil pan either. Most wear and tear that occurs in engines is 95%, when the engine is started. Ask any mechanic, the true testers and the ones who see the results of all of the companies out there who say they are the best. They will tell you exactly what is being done to the inside of the engine, both in oil and gas treatments.
I have always told people about something as well, with teflon, Kenneth. Simple question and I didn't have to do any type of research, just common sense and past result myself. Using a Teflon coated frying pan, and an egg, they work great when you use oils or butter, or grease or whatever you use to get the egged cooked, and lets say you want it over easy or over hard. Using the butter and stuff, the pan works great. Have you ever tried to cook and egg without using anything at all on a teflon frying pan. I have and everytime it sticks to the surface. Just imagine now, what happens if you end up getting a hole or a busted seal in your oil pan. Thats metal on metal, with no lubricant. Kind of leaves you up in the air, when you think that the teflon will work, when it doesn't have anything to keep it lubricated, doesn't it. Well, hope you have a very great Labor Day my friend!
GOD BLESS!!
