Back Yard Race Fuel (DIY)

HOLY CRAP! Where are you? Any chance of reselling on 20ltr drums?

Ska/Beer Barron, your correct, Port Moresby Street Racer here belive me it has it's benifits.

toluene is readilly available in Aus in 200ltr drums, i got those drums as part or our Gun Wash Thinner Order from a major solvent manufacturer. wish gun Wash was a good Octane booster at 0.70c a liter it's definately affordable

Toluene is $1.70 per liter from the three sources i checked + $25 for the drum. the $1.70 includes a tarrif of 0.39c since July 1 2006, if not for the tarrif the price would be sensational.

i just hope it gets me above 96 or so, fingers crossed...................................

bensine = octane booster for leaded fuels.

toulene = unleaded

i remember a few years back the shell at easten creek was selling 20l drums of methal benzine. there was a floor display lol.

I use 96ron as there is no 98 here. My knock averaged about 10 before the toluline up to around 90 with the toluline.

Can anyone tell me why??

I gave them a call for 20l drum its $68...anywhere cheaper then that. Its pure toluene and its a shell brand.

Thats $3.40 p/l is it worth it.

I contacted Shell and auschem is their only distributor in sydney, bummer.

I contacted Bp and they have no distributor in Sydney? damn..

Anyone else that may supply toluene, I have rang numerous parts places some said good luck and most of them said have no idea what it is.

[MZTRBO]

Reason I am enquiring is I am gettn the car tuned this Friday and wanted to add %15 of toluene with %75 98bp ultimate, just for the heck of it and see how it performs...

When i was in the screen printing industry, the company also had a litho printer..

from memory, as i used to have to get buckets full of solvents from the chemical shed for cleaning screens

Toluene was used for cleaning the rollers on the litho machine. they had many big drums, maybe i should pay them a visit and see if i still know anyone who works there.

2 bucks a L!!! anyone interested in a group by

We now buy from Recochem, but KCB are great and let you drive in and pickup. The price of Toluene is always going up as it reflects fuel prices (it's made from crude as well)

[MZTRBO]

Anyone have any contacts in nsw???or places to buy toluene.

Cheers Daniel

I just read through this thread too. Someone said earlier it doesn't stop pining it changes the frequency and the sensor can't pick it up as audible detonation. Would this be true? if so wouldn't toluene be doing damage...

[MZTRBO]

Can somebody shed some light on BAMR33 question, i am curious on this now...

I wouldnt think it does as toluene has a RON rating of something like 120...mixed with normal fuel it can only increase the octane rating...or so you would think.
