That said, the information is interesting. Fuel Formulas=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Original publication is:GS-Xtra1213 Gornto RoadValdosta, GA 31602(912) 244-0577Editor: Richard Lasetter, president Gran Sport Club of America (GSCA)The title of the original was something like "Homebrew Octane Boosters"... Itook a little license in adding some things to the article from my experienceswhen I typed it in, so it isn't verbatum, but most of the info came from Rich.Formula #1 - Toulene=============================R+M/2.........114Cost...........$2.50/galMixtures with 92 Octane Premiums--------------------------------10%...........94.2 Octanes20%...........96.4 Octanes30%...........98.6 OctanesNotes: Common ingredient in Octane Boosters in a can. 12-16 ounces will onlyraise octane 2-3 *points*, i.e. from 92 to 92.3. Often costs $3-5 for 12-16ounces, when it can be purchased for less than $3/gal at chemical supply housesor paint stores.Formula #2 - Xylene=============================R+M/2.........117Cost...........$2.75/galMixtures with 92 Octane Premiums--------------------------------10%...........94.5 Octanes20%...........97.0 Octanes30%...........99.5 OctanesNotes: Similar to Toulene. 12-16 ounces will only raise octane 2-3 *points*,I.e. from 92 to 92.3. Usually mixed with Toulene and advertised as *raceformula*.Formula #3 - Methyl-tertiary-butyl-ether (MTBE)=============================R+M/2.........118Cost...........$3.50/galMixtures with 92 Octane Premiums--------------------------------10%...........94.6 Octanes20%...........97.2 Octanes30%...........99.8 OctanesNotes: Oxygenate. Very common in octane booster products. Has lower BTUcontent than toulene or xylene, but oxygenate effect makes the gasoline burnbetter and produce more energy.Formula #4 - Methanol or Ethanol=============================R+M/2.........101Cost...........$0.60 - $1.75/galMixtures with 92 Octane Premiums--------------------------------10%...........94.3 Octanes (Methanol)10%...........94.7 Octanes (Ethanol)20%...........Not RecommendedNotes: Methanol is wood alcohol. Ethanol is grain alcohol and found in Gasoholin 10% ratios. Both alcohols are mildly corrosive and will eat gas tanklinings, rubber and aluminum if used in excessive ratios. Main ingredient in"Gas Dryers", combine with water.Formula #5 - Isopropyl Alcohol and Tertiary Butyl Alcohol=============================R+M/2.........101Cost...........$0.60-$1.50/galMixtures with 92 Octane Premiums--------------------------------10%...........94.5 Octanes20%...........Not Recommended30%...........Not RecommendedNotes: Similar to Methanol/Ethanol. Isopropyl Alcohol is simply rubbingalcohol.How to make your own octane booster (this is the basic formula of one of thepopular octane booster products). To make eight 16 ounce bottles (128 oz = 1gal):100 oz of toulene for octane boost25 oz of mineral spirits (cleaning agent)3 oz of transmission fluid (lubricating agent)This product is advertised as "octane booster with cleaning agent *and*lubricating agent!". Diesel fuel or kerosene can be substituted for mineralspirits and light turbine oil can be substituted for transmission fluid. Colorcan be added with petroleum dyes.there you go. found this at a dodge charger forum site many2 years ago. dont ask me where to get these chemicals, i dont know shit about it.</blockquote>
