Stunningly stupid tips.

"I used to always put a dollop of < anti seize grease stuff> in me ring a ding scramble bikes tank, never ever seized it all in da paddock "  The dipshit was serious ,not an April Fools day Joke!

Remember another forward thinker who put tooth paste in his cars tanks "to stop the bores glazing".  It appeared to work, no "glazed bores" when you change engines every 20000..

And the honourable ones that swore that putting "Slick 50" and other gibberish Teflon additives in the motorcycles oil was a godsend. Teflon on wet clutches.....

Helium in your racers tyres, got to be super smick as well we all know Helium is lighter than air.....

Just smatterings of mechanical ineptitude I have been subjected to, drums and fins.

True story

When I worked at the 4 wheel drive centre in NZ we had a guy who always ran different sized tires on each side of front and rear axles on his Land Rover. Same size tires on diagonally opposite corners ie 7.00x16 on LF & RR and 7.50x16 on RF & LR. He figured it allowed the smaller tire to spin more easily and saved breaking axles.

I don't know that it saved any axles but we sold him a few diffs............

When I was involved with Drag racing there was a young guy who wanted to build a quick street car.

He figured on saving power by not running the fan, water pump or alternator from the crank.
He wanted to run an electric motor driving the fan, water pump and alternator, the alternator would then charge the battery which would in turn power the motor driving the whole lot ad infinitum.

He could not understand why it would work, I told him if he could get it to work he would be the richest man in the world

Helium bleeds straight through rubber. That was tried in the early '60s in the A12 spy 'plane by Lockheed. They ended up using nitrogen in the tyres simply because it would not explode from the heat generated at Mach 3.2.
