i would think it depends on the brand of product and result you want that thay need to know more.the % in the formula has a lot to do with it.i think a gram or so a gallon is what is used.there are other ways to raise octane.

The TEL products that I've seen use a carrier such as kerosene to dilute the concentration.

here is a link to the site of it. 3 oz to 1gal = 8.0 octane increase. i thought this would be good for my 440 that has higher compression and non hardened valve seats link to site

actually it was 3oz makes an 8.0 point octane increase. so 1 qt would treat 10.66 gallons . making 93 into 101.
Uh,,,,,,,,,nope.....better check the actual manufacturers web site, what I posted was copied straight from their web site - 8 oz treats 1 gallon.

Clean it, if it's Dirty. Oil it, if it Squeaks.

Just for thought,,, E85 is 105 or higher, less than 2 bucks a gallon, and without the little bit of gas in it you could drink it.
do they make that in peach flavor ? I think maybe I did drink it on my last trip to NC
Best way to get the gas out is to not put it in to start with Yes Fred it can come in many flavors and peach is very common. Current stock is regular, raspberry and apple My favorite, raspberry on ice

I seem to recall there is a concentration limit (4ml/gallon?) of TEL to be able to ship it. I called VP several years ago when I was checking into being a distributor. One of the real high octane fuels had twice the limit of TEL and I asked how they shipped it? Well, there was some hem-hawing and I see now they don't list it on their MSDS for the fuels. I'd just stick with mixing racing fuel in with pump gasoline for my old cars. One gallon of race gas per tank is enough to protect the valve.
As far as separating the gasoline out of E85, I think the addition of water will cause them to separate. I don't think I would drink it even then since you don't know what else is in there. I'd stick with homebrewing for my alcohols needs. You can legally make 100 gallons of beer or wine, a year per person for personal consumption.
