X-1 Dual-Fuel mini Tuber-Shooter (Pictures soon!)

The Tuber-Shooter has been built, using spare 3/4" copper pipes laying around the shop. Unfortunately I have not been able to get the brake fluid & bleach combination to work as planned. I know that brake fluid and bleach are combustible when combined, however, I have come to the conclusion that my brake fluid is either the wrong kind, or dilluted. A friend of mine found that DOT 4 brake fluid and clorox bleach combust very easily; mine is DOT 3. I am going to get some DOT 4 stuff, but DOT 3 may work- mine may just be bad or dilluted. Brake fluid absorbs water very well, so if my can had been left open, that may have been what happened.

Come back soon for the results, I'll get more brake fluid!
