if you want more info check out places like www.honda-tech.com or www.dsmtalk.com or places like that and do a search for "SSAC" and just start reading.
AHHHHHH--MY EYES.!!!! .....Do not show these sites to the unwary...

I found this on the internet, for you metallurgists out there does this mean my 321 ss chinese headers will be full of holes in a year or so from the alcohol blend since they removed the MTBE?????


Abstract The electrochemical corrosion behaviour (passivity, pitting and repassivation) of austenitic stainless steel AISI 321 containing titanium has been investigated in methanol containing different concentrations of sulphuric acid (0.001–1 M). The cathodic reaction is observed to be hydrogen evolution. Anodic polarization of the stainless steel reveals a characteristic cathodic loop in methanol with higher concentrations of H2SO4 (0.1 M and 1 M). A clear and stable passivity is also observed in each solution mixture which breaks down at higher potentials due to pitting. The passivation current, passivity range, pitting intensity and pitting potential are found to vary with variation of acid concentration in the methanol. The kinetics of pitting and the morphology of the pits have been studied. A variation in concentration of acid and scan rate has been found to influence the protection potential of the stainless steel.
