TOLUENE is very toxic so becareful how you use it

1 gallon = 3.8 liters

1 gallon = 4.5 litres, no more than 20% mix, don't spill it on paint, last 20 litre drum cost me $50 odd, I only ever used about one litre per tank full, stopped it pinging when I was using 95 Octane. Purchased from BP refinery distibutor up here in Brissy

That's a UK gallon.

Ive herd somewhere that prolonged toluene use in cars leads to degredation of rubber pipes(or what ever they are made of, I mean the soft pipes) that the fuel runs through

I used to run toluene in my Galaxie, stopped the pinging, but got sick of measuring it out every fill, and was costing $3 a litre...

Ran a 5% mix with fuel.

Would be nice to see dyno comparison between that and PULP.

well I been doin ALOT of reading and they seem to reckon that its been doing no more harm than any other octane booster would.

INFACT they reckon its not as dirty, like doesnt foul plugs and cause as much carbon build up on top of the pistons and such.
