Bob,

Is Toluene 114 octane? What is the shelf life?

Sent you an e-mail on the Manley springs BTW. :drink:

Michael,

Toluene has a RON of 120, a MON of 109, and a PON of slightly over 114. The sensitivity being 11 is the high end of the spectrum. Specific gravity, depending upon temperature is between .862-.872. When you speak of shelf life are you referring to pre-mix, sealed container, or post mix with fuel?

Well all three would be good to know. Also After mixing, does it separate out easily/quickly? ie If you mix it to you have to be sure to use it asap? Any concerns with the ethanol they are putting into our pump gas?
