Toluene… (hubby uses it for his job) but I wouldn’t put it in my car…it scares me…but yes it can be used as such. One Girl I know (ex airforce flight instructor installed her own Super Charger in her Z solo) uses it in her Z but that is scarey stuff to me… ---

Aren’t those both carcinogenic? I think those are the ones that the Navy banned or restricted. They used them to make elastomeric shock/vibration mounts. There’s some useless info for the day! ---

I looked into this stuff years ago. The stuff flat out works. They used to run I think 85% toluene in indy cars in the 80s when they were making 1300 hp from 1.3 litres with 70-80 psi of boost. From what I remember it sorta nasty stuff health wise. As far as the health of you car I dont think it hurts the car much, but it might not be too good for rubber fuel system components and I don’t think it is very good for 02 sensors. ---

i think it is a smokey yunick book has a mix of pump gas to toulene and soemthing else to make a race gas recipe i know for certain that smokey talks about it in his book, but not 100% sure what book had the recipe exactly.
