Jolly Roger Frequent Poster	posted September 13, 1999 06:12 PM yeah - no reason why not to, but i don't know what it would be like, any ideas anyone? Maybe some kind of AN Fuel Oil Solution???? Does anyone have a decent recipe for RDX?

Ho ju Moderator	posted September 14, 1999 03:47 PM would you still need a blasting cap to detonate the ANFO if it was made with kerosene? ------------------ Knowledge is power, power leads to corruption, corruption is a crime, crime doesn't pay. So if you know to much you will go broke!!
dlwdaw Frequent Poster	posted September 14, 1999 04:29 PM hell yes you would , and it is still hard as hell to det. one thing I want to know is can you mix AN with gasoline to make a decent explosive? ------------------ If you cant make a mistake you cant make anything - Marva Coolins
nbk2000 Moderator	posted September 14, 1999 06:50 PM The black book series says you can substitute a 50/50 mix of gasoline and motor oil for the #2 diesel fuel. The total amount used is the same as the diesel. You can use 3-ethylhexyl nitrate instead of nitromethane. It costs about half as much as nitromethane. You might have a hard time finding, maybe not. ------------------ "The knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them." www.50megs.com/nbk2000
Survivor Frequent Poster	posted September 15, 1999 02:32 PM dlwdaw, you can mix 94% AN with 6% Gasoline, this explosive will be slightly more cap sensitive than AN-fuel oil. One #8 cap will initiate detonation but a booster should be used to obtain maximum performance. Det vel.2700-4650 m/sec. ------------------ /Survivor Survivor@netlimit.com ------------------
Blaze Frequent Poster	posted September 15, 1999 10:29 PM The reason its not used is the low ignition temp. and its volatile nature. it'll have be sealed up tight like you would with nitromethane..
