thats right.... i put 13 gallons of paint thinner in my car the other day..... all in medal 1 gallon cans at the gas station.... numerous people asked me what i was pouring into my car and instead of saying toluene or xylene, i told them paint thinner...... peoples mouth would drop and say WHATTT????? WTF??? WHYYY?!?!?!?.......
My car is mostly stock now and theres no real reason i need it.... it runs alot better i must say, but not enough to make the price worth it.. i used to use this alot on my old blown fox that had detonaton issues..... but i must admit... this old school trick is much cheaper then race gas for the SAME result...... 6.36 a gallon for toluene (114 octane) or xylene (117 octane).. or to make a 100 octane mixture of toluene and gas, its 4.20 a gallon... not to badddd....... i just hope people dont mistake my bland responce and get ANY paint thinner and start dumping acetone or any other alcohol paint thinner thatll eat the plastic and rubber parts........... i should of read more before i attempted this, but i read its completely safe because toluene is in fact gas, and wont harm anything, however supposibly its a bit tougher to ignite when its cold using JUST toluene, causing the car to be hard to start .. but ive never had a problem and ve used straight toluene...... but im not gonna do this much because its a bit expensive and like i said.. i dont need ittt...... im deff gonna use a gallon or 2 here and there to jack up the octane......
just figured ide sharre because i find this funny seeing peoples reactions
