| Install: Mix it correctly and safely. Use
eye protection and gloves. Only in a well ventilated area. Note: This is absolutely positively TRUE. I've used Xylene before and it works.
There is an alternative, Toluene, which doesn't have quite the octane
value, but has a higher vapor pressure, a faster burn rate, less sooting,
and a higher specific impulse upon ignition. . I don't know how they got it to go into
solution completely as it is non polar in properties vs. the polar properties of aqueous
drink. Also, the highly oxygenated gas benefits from Xylene in that it adds back
BTU content to the fuel. Toluene or Xylene also make one hell of a fuel
system cleaner. Look on most bottles of in the tank "cleaner", most labels
will say Toluene, Xylene, Ethyl Benzene, light aliphatic naptha, and some
other compounds along those lines. Adding 10% Toluene to 93 octane highly
oxygenated pump gas (MTBE being the Oxygenated compound), there is a
synergy where the result is greater than the average of the parts. I've
sprayed 150 HP pills with 1200 psi bottle pressure with NO timing retard
using 10% Toluene and 5% Xylene in pump gas. No detonation.
Xylene works good in turbo cars, Toluene works best on naturally aspirated
cars. Our cars with bolt on's will only need 93 octane, you up it much
more than that and you will go slower, unless the air quality is high, ie
45 deg. and 30% humidity. If you're running heads, cam intake, along with
the other stuff, and you bumped up your CR to 10.5:1, mixing at 5% (1
gallon to a tank) would be a great place to start.
Do NOT use Toluol or Xylol as these are aromatic alcohols that can
damage
your fuel system O-rings.
