Quote (MrCord @ June 09 2005,3:39 pm) | Anyone heard of using Toluene as an octane booster???
I was reading an article and it said that most racing fuel uses it to increase the octane rating..
Check out thisOctane |
Toluene is cheap and it works, you won't get the sweet smell of Avgas though!.. Here's some recipes for making octane boosters!.. Boosters!

If you run 30% it will give you 98 octane, should be good, just don't run a lot of lead in the mag, keep it at 36 and you should be ok, just have to experiment a bit with it!..
Of course depending where you go, Avgas can be just as cheap!..

Quote (Kindsvater Flat @ June 23 2005,9:04 pm) | Just to give you a heads up I ran it 30-40% and it worked great but it will eat rubber lines. Some of my stainless braid hose it teflon lined and some is not. All hose that was not teflon lined didn't last 2 years. |
Did you let your lines go dry while sitting??. I lost lines just from gas before from sitting dry, as long as there's gas in them they won't dry out!. I haven't had that problem since I started using Marvel in the gas though!..
