I dont know of any real "Formula" for mixing alcohol to pass. Try mixing like a half liter with an 1/8 tank. Be careful!! Alcohol burns HOT!

1 liter in a quarter filled tank got me through inspection with flying colors.

CO dropped from 4.5 to 1.2

And yes alcohol burns hot. OC94Rx7 burned a hole in the ventilation hose at the car inspection
