Seems this will work just as well, but I guess it's used to make crank or something so don't go buying 100gals of it w/ your credit cardbut did carry Xylene for about 2 bucks a gal less
Dave, are you running 10% w/ 87octane?

What elevation are you again ?? 30,000ft ?!?! Just messin with ya. Our AV gas is almost the same price as high octane premium unleaded over here. I doubt I would benefit running an AV gas mix without any porting work done to the engine and at sea level. What about the tolulene, is it not worthwhile with my motor being relatively standard ?? Thanks for the reports I may be going to the paint store for a look tomorrow.dave04kdx wrote:I went to our local airport and bought a gallon of 100 low lead av gas
Bet it wouldn't be enough to make much difference to you. Would be fun to hear otherwise, though![b]this guy[/b] wrote: Anything that contributes to lowering the temperature that the endgas reaches will make detonation less likely. Anything that slows the process of conversion from normal gasoline into a sensitive explosive, will make detonation less likely. Anything that speeds up combustion, so that is it completed before the conditions needed for detonation can develop fully, will make deto less likely.
Therefore the following will work;
(1) Lower intake temperature
(2) Lower throttle position, lower volumetric efficiency, or reduced turbo boost the less mixture that enters the cylinder, the less it is heated by compression.
(3) Lower intake pipe, crankcase, and/or cylinder, piston, or head temperatures. This year's Yamaha 250cc road race engine, for instance, has a copper cylinder head insert to conduct combustion heat away faster, resulting in a lower combustion chamber surface temperature.
(4) Lower compression ratio. The less you squeeze it, the less it is heated.
(5) A more breakdown resistant fuel, such as toluene or isooctane. If straight chain molecules are not present, the fuel will not be broken down so rapidly by preflame reactions.
