The container will be labeled Toluene. It is clear and I wouldn't advise smelling it, it will knock you on your ****. That is the chemical you want. Don't buy a paint thinner that says it contains Toluene. You want Toluene.

Hey Bill, what the heck is this stuff? I saw that you and Flash were running around trying to get some, but I have no idea. Please throw me a bone here.

^^^^^^ What he said ^^^^^^

What IS this for? Fuel additive?
I just found out I can't run the 100
octane stuff at the track cause it
has lead in it and will screw up my
catalytics....

Always looking for a few HP ...

Quick one for you guys, if I wanted to run a 104+ octane level I could simple use my gas city 100 octane gas and add some tolulene to the ixture to raise it right. Does anyone know what the percentage would be for 104 or more.

[(x * 92) + (y * 114)] / (x + y) = z

x = Amount of Pump Gas in Tank
y = Amount of Toluene
z = New Octane

Xylene is all I use. Each octane points matters.
