Hmmmmmm..... $29.99 makes 5 gal from 93 octane

I'm not completely sold on this stuff. I think it needs more real world testing.

I've got a 5 gallon can of Torco in my warehouse! Bought it years ago and never opened it.

I wonder what the shelt life is?

[Surfer1420]

^^^^^^^ It might  be good for your lawn mower still

They tested this stuff on a tv show recently and it had pretty good results.

Hmmm... that's not the best endorsement I've ever seen.

[Hemi57]

You really need to get the MSDS sheet to see what is in it.... My bet is Toluene, Acetone, Benzene, Xylene or a combination of these. Toluene is nothing more the lacquer thinner and is an excellent octane booster (octane rating od 114). It acts as anti knock and when burned produces CO2 and H2O. Only downside is cold start issues if the concentration is to high.

I don't put much stock in the power block and tv endorsements because you pay a guy enough money he will endorse your product.

 

 

 

I'll look at yellow bullet to see if anyone is talking about this stuff yet.

[Speedy]

^^ Agreed.  Let me know if you find any good info on it.  Would be a nice cheap alternative if valid.  I never put much stock in Torco and this could be similar.

[poolman]

i would not use any fuel additive to potentially increase the octane while racing. too much to lose should it not work.

[Hemi57]

Me... just buy race gas.

[concussion]

Ive used torco in the past with good results.

 

ive never tried ant of the others.

30 buck to bump up 5 gallons to race gas levels? Ummm. Race gas is about that same price. So why waste the time to mix shit when i can just buy the real thing??

[sharkcohen]

Yup.

Thats a great buy! I looked around Jersey and the cheapest (and only I think) race gas available in a 5 gal. can was C-12 at 85$ + tax so 90 bucks.

MS109 is $75 a can here. Pay the same at the Mile. Can save a bit if a drum is bought.
