Big Blue Posted January 27, 2004 Author Report Posted January 27, 2004 now just trying to find where to but toulene or xylene. there is quite a bit of info on this out, has any body else heard about doing this? Quote
Big Blue Posted January 27, 2004 Author Report Posted January 27, 2004 I found both chemical locally xylene= 9.43 gal, toulene= 11.62 gal mixing one gallon of either with 4gallons of gas by my numbers would have a octane rating of about 99.0 using 93 pump gas and a cost of about $16 for a total of 5 gallons. someone else may be able to find the chemicals cheaper around them.

ruff_rida69 Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 I just found this site, and there talking about Toulene and Xylene, and it also has alotta good links on the subject, http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread...threadid=176093 and also Big Blue where did you find the Toulene and Xylene locally? Thanks, Jonathan Quote
tacoking Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 Why spend the time finding all these chemicals when you could but 100LL for cheaper. I went to my local community airpark/airport and got 100LL for $2.45 a gallon and thats in San Diego. Find your closest airport and see if they have airplane gas. Quote
superchicken Posted January 27, 2004 Report Posted January 27, 2004 to find xylene also known as zylol go to a paint store there both pretty strong paint thinners used to reduce certain epoxy coatings.tulene i beleive is very potent and i think its photochemicly reactive not sure though Quote

Thanks, Jonathan i looked up chemicals in the phone book and satarted calling places and found one that carried them. superchicken as for buying it at paint stores im not sure if they are exactly the same the stuff i found is a purer chemical from what the chemical place told me.

superchicken Posted January 28, 2004 Report Posted January 28, 2004 im sure that it is a purer form of xylene from a regular chemical company.never knew that octain boosters contained those chemicals.i use xylene on a regular basis as well as m.e.k=methl ethl ketone.very strong shit,take the paint off your car strong.
