Anybody use Race Gas additive

[Mark75H]

Toluene is a great additive. It is not all about octane its more about resistance to detonation.

Resistance to detonation is the DEFINITION of octane rating, duh

[Dave Strong]

Fuel needs energy to make power as well as resistance to knock.

we need a vid on the small engine that tests octane rating...

You might want to do a little reading on Tolueline before you show your ignorance. F1 use to use it when they had the turbo 4 cylinders. At 100 octane it resist detonation extremely well. Do some reading.

Who cares about it's resistance to detonation. If it has no energy you are not making power. Water has high resistance to detonation but has zero energy.

Do a little research on Tolueline, it makes great hp per pound of fuel. The good thing is with 1 gallon per 15 gallons of gas it will do wonders. Ran at 100 % the F1 cars made increadable power using real high boost.

You can do a little test your self with a new computer controlled car or truck. Put 1 gallon of Tolueline in your car tank with 15 gallons of whatever gas you use. You will feel the difference in power, your knock censor will allow the timing to advance. There is no led or other metals so it does not hurt the cat.

I did some reading on google:

octane number
noun
noun: octane rating

• a figure indicating the anti-knock properties of a fuel, based on a comparison with a mixture of isooctane and heptane.
  
  Ron Mon Aki

• toluene	121	107	114
  VP C16 Race Fuel	117	118	117.5

re knock versus power..

Perfect example is av gas, has resistance to knock but its not as powerful as other fuels at the same octane rating

Toluene is awesome just keep nitrates away from it I’m sure you have heard of Tri Nitro Toulene “tnt it’s dynamite “ ac/dc

sulfer has something to do with benzo acids

and it’s bad for carbon parts.

Just about everything has some bad thing.

The f1 thing was 86% toulene 14 heptane

local hardware carries the paint thinner unless it’s on the huffing list ban.

Now we are getting somewhere.

Lets go back to the original question about additives. When you add Toluene to gas it increases resistance to detonation. A relatively inexpensive way to gain performance. I have used this many times when running 190 pounds compression on an OMC 3liter that turned 8850 rpm and made 389hp. I had a 15 gallon tank I would put 14 gallons of gas and 1 gallon of Toluene.

Certainly my last post in the tech section

Lots of threads here on fuel

so your going to delete this post?

Fuel additives, the new oil thread.

[FMP]

How about certain fuels with certain oils with certain additives
