Air Rifle Dieseling For More Power Part 2!

Like me on Facebook to Stay up to date / deuceandguns
Part two of my series of Air Rifle dieseling for more power. Here I test several different fluids as possible air rifle dieseling agents. These are only being tested for speed and not for accuracy. Please keep in mind that this practice WILL damage your air rifle and could injure the shooter in the process. I do these test and damage my air rifle so you don't have to.

    For many years I have been using Diesel additive, and up to date it has been the best yet. The additive is the stuff you can buy from most retail auto suppliers. You add it to your vehicles fuel to cut down on any smoky exhaust. It works by giving the fuel a higher cetane rating so that you get a more complete firing burn at a lower compression rate. So!!! you can imagine what it is like when you use it neat, just one drop from a small squeeze can in the hollow of the pellet just before you close the barrel gives it a real cracking sound when it is fired. Another thing that I have had good results with is the fuel that is used for propeller driven model aircraft, it is a compression ignition fuel the same as diesel but it fires at a lower compression rate, so gives good results in a gun.---- A word of CAUTION----- I only use dieseling fuel in old worn airguns to boast their power as it is not normally needed in a good gun.. Good shooting everyone!!!!!

    When I was a kid (about 35 years ago), new tins of Benjamin pellets came with some sort of light oil already in them. Think I was told the oil was good for the gun or something. I also remember believing the Walmart brands in plastic containers were shit because those Benjamin pellets blew through shit that stopped the cheap stuff cold. I remember hassling my parents to order me more Benjamin's, because they were my hunting pellets. As an adult I have to wonder if some savvy person at Benjamin knew what they were doing.

    I absolutely loved the spreadsheet results. I enjoy videos that use science and convey the most information in the least amount of time. Well done! It's odd because when I first saw these videos I wasn't interested in the subject but now suddenly I'm very interested in the subject and greatly enjoyed them I would have liked to have seen diesel fuel and paraffin as well. One big advantage of the paraffin is that the pellets can be prepared in advance and loaded just like a regular pellet. Now I'm going to have to buy a break barrel pellet gun and do some science myself. :-)

    Gamo Hunter 440 .22 owner here. I discovered dieseling after cleaning my air rifle, by using a vegetable-based oil designed for lubricating fine mechanisms (sorry, I do not remember the brand). The reason I liked that particular oil was that it had a high viscosity (sticky) and took a really log time to evaporate - this means that the contents of the pellet skirt stayed put even as I carried them in a small box - that's if not shaken too violently. I experimented by dosing with a small syringe and needle, for better control. Did not have any device to measure pellet velocity, but you could really hear and feel the difference in the shoulder, as well as check penetration of wooden targets (went straight through inch-thick fir), which I thought it was unbelievable. I found that it can nicely increase the rifle's effective range in the 60-70 meters, when hunting for crows or magpies. In my case though, I felt that accuracy was dropping, or at least it was not as consistent as with plain pellets. Now to the side effects. My Hunter air rifle had an original PFTE seal / head ontop of the pressure piston. After firing about 50-100 dieseled pellets, the backfire from the combustion cut a clean hole through the teflon. Now, I considered buying the original replacement as well as other... alternatives. Since I wanted to still be able to use dieseling, I chose a piston head made of oil-and-heat-resistant rubber, which had been originally designed for some sort of fuel/oil pumps. I have never had an issue with that seal ever since, although it must have fired thousands of dieseled shots. Hope this helps someone.

I've owned the same one before, but shooting this brand new one last night the first two shots sounded like a 22 as you had said. My old (same rifle) didn't sound like that lol. So I looked online to see what it could be and found out about it. Made plenty of sense... as I work on diesel trucks myself.

Some higher power .177 rifles can shoot at roughly 1200 fps out of the box adding dieseling with that could put fps in the 1400+ range. I'm curious to see what effect dieseling would have on a .22 air rifle considering the skirt is much larger. Or would the larger amount not ignite.

    I am actually trying to STOP dieseling in my old Gamo 440. I replaced the spring and seal in it, but I greased the seal too and when I got it back together, it was dieseling really bad. Figured out what I had done, took the gun back apart, cleaned all the grease off the piston and inside the cylinder too. Made sure there was NO GREASE on the piston, seal, and cylinder and put it back together. Ran some pellets thru and it is still dieseling, however not as bad as before. So if you ever run this test again, try automotive grease.

    I have an old Baracuda 5,6mm(Weichrauch) breakbarrel air rifle that is purposely designed to operate for dieseling mixture of ether(chloroform)-gas in the rifle's compression chamber. The ether gas is stored in a sids mounted gas chamber tube and will deliver a certain amaunt of gas/vapor directy to the rifle's piston. I've noticed a significant increase of power/velocity is achieved when using round-ball heavy grained pellets compared to the common dovetail type pellets. This ball pellet tends to hold a bit longer in the barrel and wait until the diesel explosion occurs and this moves the pellet in a very high propulsion pressure. Sadly I cannot get a new high quality spring(specifically made for this purpose) any longer from Weichrauch or else. So you should try this using a more tight sized pellets(like roundball or slug) and maybe the results will be better. One other thing, the dieseling explosion will also increase backforce to the spring and make it weak and shoten it's life. Keep up the good works 👍

    it seems like you left out a few obvious ones in this test, primarily something like diesel or kero, something paraffin based like paraffin (or other waxes), chapstick, vaseline (all of these could be easily pre-loaded and you wouldn't have to worry about knocking them over) and I would have liked to have seen something like the 3in1 that you used in the other video or just plain old motor oil under the same conditions. All of those would also be cheaper than your top contenders As far as the damage that everyone is expecting... I'd be willing to bet that it's just a question of newer, more modern, higher quality seals vs older stuff... your not going to burn a seal unless the ignited gas leaks past it, and for the same or less money that you used to need to shell out you get a much better, better quality rifle with better quality parts. Even some of the Chinese ones are actually quite decent now, and I would expect them to last longer/do better than older rifles. The other side of this is what are people using magnum air rifles for that they need more power? Lesser rifles are the ones that typically need more power and I would expect them to be the ones that wouldn't last long, while a lot of magnums come close to the speed of sound where this kind of thing _will_ hurt accuracy (though I suspect you could work around by carefully choosing pellets)

    I'm also curious what results stuff like diesel fuel, vaseline and paraffine wax / bees wax would give. I got good results with vaseline (petroleum jelly). But I don't have a chrony to compare different compounds. With vaseline it's easy to put a consistant amount into the pellet skirt and it will stay there and won't spill all over the place or in the compression chamber, or passing by the pellet, like more runny liquids would possibly do, just by capillarity effects. But creasy and waxy compounds may also need a higher temperature to ignite and burn properly, what might be lowering the dieseling efficiency. So - I'm still curious about the outcome. ;) BTW: In fact the seals and o-rings usualy can't handle the dieseling pressure well. I once testet this with a tissue put over the barrel gap. Was pretty greyish from the exhausts afterwards.

    I know this is pretty old but I have some knowledge of these products and since the design of the air rifle is specifically about extreme pressure why not try an extreme pressure lubricant? My favorite very affordable and reliable brand is Marvel Mystery Oil's air tool oil and it has a little spout that would make it real easy to put one drop and only one drop on a small pellet. My thinking is that the lubricants are really just making the bore slicker. So along those lines why not a teflon based lube? In my table saw I use the generic PTFE resins that *dry white* and obviously this is ideal because a) no solvent to ruin the gun b) You can spray a whole tin back home or spread out on newspaper then bring them out to the field, range, etc... c) they won't be messy or a fire hazard, either.

    It depends on the type of rubber being used but you are correct that it can make the seals too soft/brittle to hold pressure. The cheaper the air rifle the more likely a cheap seal that would be affected was used. That's why I used a throwaway rifle for this demo. Even if it doesn't fail catastrophically it may start it on a downward trend in usability.

    If my understanding of lighter fluid is correct, me thinks another name for it is NAPTHA. Similar to mineral spirits. You should also try a bit of kerosene.

    Been thinking about this. Have always used Hoppes oil as it is what I use to oil my guns. Very inconsistent results. Just came to mind, has any one tried paraffin? same molecular make up as kerosene or diesel, Poured into the base of the pellet it could be a viable option, and would not drip out.

    you just exceeded the speed of sound ~ 1100 fps. that is very fucking cool from an air rifle, it is the reason why you hear the supersonic boom when you shoot. to anyone wanting to repeat this, bear in mind that your seal WILL break, and supersonic ammo accuracy is very very bad. So bear that in mind and do not try it with a new gun .

    Is it a dieseling phenomenon or is it that the solvents are sealing the pellets better and water being less viscous it didn't hold as good of a seal and seems to have even negatively impacted the shot. Also low octane gasoline would compression ignite easier than any of these oils as would alcohol or lacquer thinner.

    It's dieseling. Without the advent of smell-o-vision you can't smell the burning but it's igniting. The issue with some of the things I tried here and the three you list is that it won't stay in the skirt of the pellet. Thicker oils stay put better so work better.

    BC, Please test, "OILED PELLETS", I tried the oiled pellets in my Daisy Powerline 880. I used Baby Oil, cheap at Walmart. I got about a 25% to 30% ? increase in power. I would like to see a 3rd video on dieseling and oiled pellets with your crony' and charts and numbers. I can "not", find any videos with oiled pellets on You-Tube. You videos on dieseling with the charts and numbers are the best on You-Tube. Thanks, keep up the good work.

I have a beeman .22 and a ruger blackhawk elite .177 rated at 1200 fps (alloy pellets) that I would love to see how much more power I can get out of it and hopefully better accuracy. Just wanna see which type of oil would be best to use.

    I put a few drops of baby oil, or any light oil, on the pellets by adding a few drops to the container and letting the pellets roll around in the in the metal container, thereby coating all of the pellets.Too repeat, with the oiled pellets igniting at night, with a flameyou could see in the dark. It did not ignite with a non-oiled pellet,proving dieseling.

    Two things to conceder. 1) Newton's law says for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. There for in a spring action air riffle the pellet is being pushed by the action of the spring. What ever dieseling action that might accrue would be pushing equally on the spring and the pellet, there for you will only get as much pressure as the spring can produce. 2) For what ever fuel you use, it would have to be atomized in an oxygenated air mixture for combustion to accrue. A drop of oil in a pellet has no chance of ignition. The added pellet speed is due to the oil acting as a seal and a lubricant between the pellet and the barrel. What you see as smoke coming from the barrel is the oil atomizing as it is leaving the barrel. Now lets say you shot a squirt of starting fluid, butane or propane in the compression chamber, that might get you ignition. Because the fuel would be mixed with oxygenated air, and by compressing that you might get enough heat to ignite it. Just my thoughts, The oil in the barrel would be a good thing to prevent rust and friction damage to the barrel.

    Old Man, you're simply wrong. First off while you can accurately quote Newton it doesn't mean that you understand him. The spring is not static and the accrued momentum of the spring in motion, releasing it's kinetic energy, is exponentially greater the longer it's travel (increase in speed). You can imagine if you try to push your car from a standstill it's possible but if that car is traveling at max speed your effort is worth virtually nothing. Secondly, THEY CALL IT DIESELING FOR A REASON. It works just like a diesel engine, which has no spark plug but rather works on the increasing percentage of oxygen in a decreasing volume of air until the oxygen percentage and the heat of compression gets to a spontaneously combustible level. The oil is burning as evidenced not only by the very obvious increase in power (more than the sealing power of the oil) but also in the smell of SMOKE (which smells like diesel exhaust for a reason). Further I don't think that it does much, if any, damage to the rifle. The combustion does take place in the barrel and with the constantly increasing amount of air coming from the spring piston it effectively pushes the cumbustion out away from the piston port. I've heard many ppl expound nauseasously about the dangers and damage to air rifles and I've found none of that. I've been dieseling for years and there's been no obvious damage or wear to the sealing ring of the breakbarrel. I think the funniest comment that I read from someone in his vehement diatribe against dieseling was how it broke his...... 30 year old, $10, chinese made air rifle when he tried to diesel it. However, I would add that the large amount of incompletely burned oil results in soot buildup in the barrel. Really, it's pretty extreme. Just think of a exhaust coming from a diesel truck. These sooty remains can be acidic and eventually cause pitting if left in the barrel as well as accuracy issues from buildup scraping off onto the exiting pellet. I usually just shoot some wet paper towel wad through the gun. Happy shootin'!

    You do not need any mixture of air and chemicals to have a combustion occur and newtons law has nothing to do with the spring piston producing enough power to propel the pellet at a greater velocity

    while i am not a scientist i know what oil smoke smells like, i also have black soot from the burnt petro in my barrel, on the end of my barrel and sometimes even on the targets i shoot as the pellet carries what ever is in the barrle with it. i often use 3 in 1 oil and it smells just like the toy trains we use to have that burnt oil for sake of appearances back in the day. also, it fires so much more fpe that some times it even breaks the pellets apart before leaving the barrel. also when dieseling my air rifle it seems to crack loud like a 22 lr, sometimes it cracks so hard it can make my ears ring but usually not.

    D and G could you get a 35 dollar Crossman 760 and test that for speed, accuracy and DURABILITY. I have a theory that non-rifled air rifles will hold up better then rifled ones in these tests. IMO there will be nothing to slow the pellet down and stress the seals like a rifled gun would do.
