Ed;
Some years back we used a low percentage of xylene (or toluene-- I can't
remember which it was) & gasoline in a ski boat powered with a BBC. Some
rejetting & timing changes were needed, though. Nothing blew up.
Some pretty radical fuel mixtures were concocted by racers before the days
of standardized fuel regulations. In the old days, those exotic fuel
mixtures were refered to as "bug juice."

I am on another "car" list, and the following formula was put
forth as an effective octane booster. Sounds like an
engine-killer to me, but we have people on this list that know
about this stuff... Any comments?
Get some Xylene from a paint store.
Mixtures with 92 Octane Premium
10%...........94.5 Octane
20%...........97.0 Octane
30%...........99.5 Octane
