Best Answer

Acetylene will explode violently at 15 psi causing extreme damage to an internal combustion engine. I would like to know if it can be used as a supplement to gasoline or diesel. Storage is a problem but it can be easily generated on site. It may be better to use it for generating electricity and use an electric car.
