While looking for info on octane boosters, I came across this recipe from
VTR. Has anyone ever tried this? The reason I was checking into boosters
was that I have some pinging and knocking.
Below is the basic formula of one of the popular octane booster products. To
make eight 16 ounce bottles (128 oz = 1 gal):
100 oz of toluene for octane boost
25 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 mineral
spirits and light turbine oil can be substituted for transmission fluid.
Color can be added with petroleum dyes.
Thanks,
Paul Brandsema
