    Octane booster

    Just use a quart of Xylene with a full tank of gas. Xylene is 117 octane, so a quart of Xylene would be 94.4 octane with 4 gallons of gas.
    Xylene is already in gas, so you won't hurt anything.
    You can buy Xylene at and hardware store ....Plus, it cleans inside your motor....

    Below are the specs on gasoline...

      besides, its always good to store your tank full, so you dont get condensation and rust.

          I saw where someone mentioned Octane Booster was crap and didn't raise octane as advertised, 93 to 93.4 rating. So I posted this info.
          Our club members use it in our Turbo Buicks, Grand Nationals, T-Types and Turbo Trans Am's, Syclone's ....etc. We run a lot of boost on the street, since racing gas isn't available everywhere, Xylene helps us keep our boost high without denonation. I have other tips also , I won't post them anymore

            No, feel free. Just wondering considering that eight of your nine posts previous to this last one were basically the same.

            Just thought you might be a rep for Xylene!
