2001Stroker Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 I seen that during my venture for choosing octane. It can be done, but isn't consistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regalrocket Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 How did I know that GNTTYPE.org would be where you got that info when I saw the title. DO NOT USE TOLULENE, I have been racing cars for 15 years, and been involved in GN's for 13 of those. Tolulene does work, but its BAD for fuel components not designed for them. Its paint thinner, you get it at a paint store, and it will swell seals and destroy fuel components not able to handle it. DO NOT USE THIS. I warned you. It works in small ammounts and small time periods on some cars. But if left in the tank, or if you have a non-compatible seal, you will regret it. Get avgas if you need cheap octane. I am also a aviation mechanic and pilot. Avgas is a much better option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPEN Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 People are always trying to find ways of boosting their octane.. Buy the time you buy the crap or use it its either not worth the cost or screws something up.. IF you even need higher octane fuel just buy race gas.. The point or two that "boosters" give you ins't nearly as consistant and in the long run is more exspensive.. People need to figure out what octane they NEED and get there using race fuel or maybe even "av gas".. Otherwise your potentialy throwing money away or risking mechanical failure....
