can I go buy some Xylene from Home Depot and pour some in and mix it with pump gas to raise the octane?

how much should I put in when filling up and is there certain type of Xylene that I should use?

Will using Xylene affect anything.. like the motor or fuel system?
 
search for toulene or xylene. all the formulas will be there as well as the rumors
 
look around a bit. Use google or yahoo. I have posted on it here a few times, as I use it with good results. check this: http://srd.yahoo.com/S=2766679:WS1/....gnttype.org/techarea/misc/octanebooster.html[/url]
it is the best site on it I have found

I have found xylene to be cheaper, purer, and more effective. I usually buy it at Sherwin Williams.

I haven't checked at Home Depot yet. Let me know what you find.
 
mixing Xylene is OK aslong as u dont go over a 3:1 ratio i believe. As long as u run straight gas after the Xylene mix your o2 sensor will be fine.
