Toluene
 

I having been doing some research on Toluene as a method to raise octaine a few points as an allternative for over priced bottles of bossters which claim they raise octaine by four points. with 16 oz alone.:whistle:
Are any of you guys using Tolune alone as a boost or have a chart to measure octaine rating when mixed with pump gas? I would like run 96 octain while using 91 pump gas on X amount of Toluene. Any info would be appreciated

from what i have read its about a 10 to 20% mixture, in my jeep i ran 2 gallons in the tank and 15 gallons of gas. I have a 9.5-1 stroker engine and it loved it.

Yes i have heard of many people mixing there fuel with with it. However with the prices i have been getting at $14 a gallon am i just better off buying cam2 c-12? Between the two your not really saving any money buying the toluene.

mine wasnt that expensive and it was just a test for me, I guess the question is are you trying to save money or save your motors? yes there will be a point where the costs equal out, but i guess it would be a little easier to put more in than lose time because of a blown engine.

I read somewhere that the octane booster raised octane 4pts to go from 92 to 92.4. Is this true?
Toulene is heavier than fuel. Would you have to mix and go before it separates?

I used to use toluene in all my circuit cars, i used super unleaded as a base fuel with 12% toluene added then ran the engines on the dyno and mapped to suit the fuel. The GT2RS really liked the toluene and every gear shift up or down was accompanied by a massive flame out which used to light up the inside of the cockpit, it also seems to be very kind to the engines. We can buy it in the uk quite cheaply as parts wash, but be careful how you handle it as it evaporates very quickly & if you splash any on paint or laqueur it takes the shine of almost instantly.

VERY INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE POST:party-smiley-004:

Order it in drums from a direct supplier, much cheaper that way & it can be delivered to your door. Just make sure to filter it first! I work for a chemical distributor & handle it nearly everyday. Like said, make sure not to get it on any painted surfaces & have good ventilation & no sparks, flames around. Had a plant go up in flame 2 weeks ago from the stuff.

Go ahead and drop one off at my door.
