Jumpin in on your Octane thread for a little input from you all. My engine requires at least 108 octane to run right, lower pings and knocks with poor throttle response and developps a miss.
I talked to my fuel distributor who I respect but admit he may be a little biased. He ststes Tolulene works great but tends to evaporate out of mix if allowed to sit for a while( 1 week) with a vented tank. Also claims it is very corrosive on all aluminium parts like tank/cell and fittings etc.. I am soaking a hose end in tolulene right now to check corrosive claim, 1 day so far.
Anybody know different or have first hand experience with these claims?
