I have experimented with xylene mixes on my high compression v-twin and the results can be upredictable (at least they were for me). After going through the hassle of measuring, mixing, trying to find the same brand xylene I just went back to c16. especially for a medium horsepower car like the GTP… Sunoco 110 would be fine if you are using it just to test an issue. I believe a good part in my motor popping was due to the shitty Sunoco 112… I should have had C16 in it for that kind of horsepower, but there was none around. So I settled for the 112, which costs me a lot more $$ than the difference in good fuel. Expensive lesson learned! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/whos-used-xylene-for-diy-race-gas/200180)._
