I worked at Dow Chemical for many years. Most of the compounds mentioned here 
were availible in the plant and I have heard many storys about "expeiriments" 
that the local hotrodders conducted with some of the stuff that they "barrowed" 
from the plant. I was an engineer, not a chemist so I am not much help. Bernie 
(BB) was building engines for some of those guys so he may be able to shed some 
light on this subject.-------------Bernie???????

engine-killer to me, but we have people on this list that know
about this stuff... Any comments?

Get some Xylene from a paint store.
