If you do a search on www.gnttype.org it will tell the history of the stuff. They used to run it in f1 cars in the 70s, It almost completely gets rid of knock. To my understanding it is 100% pure UN leaded gas. So with that said will do no harm to a stock fuel system. If you go to the page it will tell you all you want to know and more. You can get it from Sherman Willams but the last time i bought it it cost 8.50$ a gal.

10-4, That is why I would buy the toluene in 55gal. drum and the mineral spirits in 1gal container(made mixing simple).
Also, running it straight is overkill for most apps, just go up in% of tol/mix until spark rattle is gone for best power. ie 4gal93pump+1gal. Tol=5gal.98.4 octane!

to me, why do I want to put 5 Gallons of toluene in the tank, when I can pick up a bottle of torco (32) oz, and have great results.
not including the fact that there are strict laws regaring toluene purchases.

When I was given this info 4+ years ago I was told that there was nothing in the little bottles that would truely raise the R+M/2 of unleaded fuel a meaningful amount without screwing up the o2sensors.
