My new Whipple 2 7/8" pulley will require a minimum of 95 octane gas, Couldn't find any gas station selling race fuel around my area then i decided to make my own fuel. Here is the recipe:

1) 27 gallons of Sunoco 93
2) 3 gallons of Xylene by Sherwin-Williams
3) 1.5 oz of Marvel Mistery Oil.

4) Result: 96 octane gas.

Wow, what a formula..
Did you try the airport for your fuel?

 

No i didn't. Did they sell fuel for anyone ?

 

There isint a Race shop in your town? I know of 3 here in BR. and they sell race gas

 

Philadelphia is a big city but very few reliable performance shops, and the ones i know do not sell race gas.

 

rafa26 how much is Xylene in your area?The cheapest I can get it around here is $9-10 a gallon.I used to use it in my turbocharged cars but with a stronger mixture for more than 96 octane.Now I'm into alky injection.More Boost

 

What you have to do is go to a Sherwin Williams store and open a cash basis account,make sure you tell them you will need around 30-50 gallons per month even if you don't need all of that. They will qualify your account to get the cheapest price which is $7,00 per gallon if you buy 5 gallon cans.

 

that is badass, will that inconvience you?

 

No inconvenience, at least for me.

 

So when all said and done how much are you paying a gallon? I would like to make 93 octane because these bastards in california don't offer and everyone on 93 was breaking into the 6's (0-60) on a mere tune.

 

$7,00 a gallon. ( requires you to open a cash basis account with any Sherwin Williams store because regular price is $12,00 ).
