Quote: so..how much does a quart of acetone to 20 gallons of 91 octane gasoline raise the octane?
Easy to figure it out if you know the octane of what you are adding.
Let's say Toluene @ 114 oct. mixing in a 15 gal tank with 93 oct. by adding 1 gal of Toluene:
(93oct x 14gal) + (114oct x 1gal) / 15 gal
So - you'd get 94.4 oct.
You CAN buy Xylene / Toluene in bulk from chemical suppliers. They ARE the main agents in octane boosters. But, as someone said, you should be adding lubricating oil for the added wash-down effect.
I've looked into this (buying bulk chemicals). I found that after you buy all the crap, do the mixing, it would be easier to just buy race fuel and mix if need be.
