I just called and it seems like i can get a 55 gallon drum for 273.00... just under 5 bucks a gallon.. what kind of prices is everybody else seeing.. and how safe/effective is it..

 

I paid about $4 a gallon in OK City. I only used a gallon in a full tank once. I made starting my truck a little weird, like it was flooded. I still have the second gallon in the garage. I know other guys here that have used it and with no problems that I'm aware of. I suggest trying it before spending that much money on a drum of the stuff.

 

I use it a couple of times a year when I can't get racing gas! I've never had any problems!!! Jim

 

thats what i was planning on doing.. buying a gallon, trying it, then buying a 55 gal, if i like the results...

 

For what its worth. Xlyene works well to. Just make sure to put a few drops of marvel mystery oil in the mix for lube.

 

what is marvel mystery oil?????? and what exactly is xylene????

 

its a mystery but really you can find it in just about any parts store

 

Watch your ratios and you will be fine. When you start exceding about 30% it can be hard on rubber parts.

 

i would start out with 1 gallon in a full tank, and then go to 2 gallons in a full tank, and see how she runs.. is the mystery oil for lubercating parts because the toluene is a solvent and might wash the cylinders or something???

 

Here's a good thread from a while back discussing the in's & out's of Toluene & Xylene homebrew

ok... starting to make alittle more sense.. without a tune, would i benefit any from rasing the octante a few points, maybe like a 10-20 percent mixture...

 

I have run 40-50 percent Tolulene for years
and the only result was nice CLEAN plugs ... < grin >

5 gallons to a 1/4 tank is my ratio ...

Cost ... about 38 at Sherwin Williams

 

is that all the time or only at the track??

 

Track only !!! On a great tune for 105 Octane by PSP !!!

 

YOU MUST ADD MARVEL MYSTERY OIL! Just a little.

I run a gallon through my vehicles one a year to clean everything out. ASMOF, I need to run it through the Lightning to clean it out.
