I've only used BP Ultimate twice ... and the car felt a bit hesitant on it.

Generally I use optimax.

What is this CVL stuff people were talking about on the first page on the thread?

Where can i get some Good octane boost for my skyline, as im in the USA, and we only have 94 oc. Anyone know of a place in America, or a company that will ship here.

Had a question as well if Mycroft is still reading this..

Is this mix recommended for low octane gasoline as well (Such as 90 RON)? Or will it be just too much risk?

Thanks

Some more questions for Mycroft,

What is the advantage of toluene over xylene? Doesn't xylene have a slightly higher octane rating? Is there some other drawback?

The small amount of isopropanol added to your toluene mix is mentioned to prevent flareing, is this during combustion, or is at a safety precaution during handling?

Just read all 24 pages and am fascinated to try this..............

Yunis A

what about cellulose thinners? containg xylene/toleune?

Mycroft

Fadhel, my apologies for the very late reply...

The answer to your question is that Toluene/Xylene can be mixed with any 'gasoline' to increase the Octane rating and so long as you take a 'considered approach there should be no detrimental effects.

Saabman, there is no advantage of Toluene over Xylene, they are almost equals, Xylene is slightly superior, but the margin is small.

The Iso-alc is for during combustion.

Yunis, yes I know of a few people who have done this, but i have not tried it myself, all seem to be perfectly happy to get their Xylene/Toluene that way.

Don't the US use the MON rating system (which is a lower number than the RON equivalent we have)?

ctrlaltdelboy

Neil, in the US they use 'octane' ratings which are (RON+MON)/2 so using the figures posted by Iain a year ago on P23 of this thread, and shown below
we can deduce that the US pump rating for this fuel would be 93.75 so in answer to Smithicus's question
the answer is that your fuel is as good as the best we have over here, it's just labelled differently.

Hope this helps
