Default Toulene...who's using it?

Have any of you guys been using toulene with pump gas? If so, how long? Im trying to get a grasp if there are any negative long term effects of using toulene. I would probably mix with 93 octane to obtain 98-100 octane rating.

thx

Default I have been for 1.5 years now with no problems. Just hard to start in the AM if it is cold outside.

Also used loled Avgas for 1 year with no problems before I found the toulene. Just becareful because once you use it, you will not want to go back to regular gas. I thought everyone was just saying that when I heard it, but it is the truth.

Default Cost for the 5 gallon drum comes to around 30.00...

per gallon. That's a bit high considering toulene is about 3.00 a gallon with approximately 1.5 gallons needed to create a 100 octane mix with 93 pump with a 16 gallon tank.

How much of AVgas is needed to create a 100 octane rating with a full tank of gas....assume 16 gallon tank with 93 octane pump gas?

thx.

Default Probably 8 or so tanks...

5 gallons of T and top it off with 93 for 300+ miles of

Sunoco is now selling 100 at the pump for $4.50-- it ends up being the cheapest (lol) way to go.

Default Re: How do you figure that 1.5 gals of Toluene is making 14.5 gals of 93 into 100?
