Jellybean Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Anybodu some across this , I think you are playing russian roulette with your engine , Saab guy here is going to use it He read it on the interweb http://www.uksaabs.co.uk/UKS/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=88586 max 40% of that is made up of Toulene and XYLENE , the tetrosyl contains a higher % of chemicals I would not even like to guess would do to an internal engine Mixtures Toulene 10-30% XYLENE 5-10% https://www.tetrosyl.com/images/stories/virtuemart/documents/STT025_SDS.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'd say that's likely to eat the seals in the injectors and then the injector body themselves. thinners turns plastic to mush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Toulene and Xylene is ok in 10% mix , its the other crap in there I would be concerned about ; The manufacturer cant even tell you the % mixture of the chemicals , you dont know what you are mixing Best case scenario Max 40% is Toulene and Xylene (Batch dependent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I did Xylene with my own car years ago, 30% mix and mapped for it on the AEM Wouldn't recommend it now though as with Fuel flex sensors and an ecu like the syvecs, you can use ethanol and the ecu will automatically adjust fueling, timing and boost The risk before was the mixture changing and the ecu cant adjust for it. As you said 10% mix is fine to add for extra safety and no adjusting but i would still use ethanol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jellybean Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Thanks I am going to try MMT(Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl) , do some dyno testing NF Octane booster vs Bardahl BSF Racing Octane Booster Even if I had an ECU capable of running a flexifuel, Ethanol is a pita to source here; think VP or Sunoco do some but it is bloody expensive , shipping is a killer!

Samurai 20V Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) I did some testing with 95 octane, 98 octane and NF Octane. There was a marked difference with 98 octane in the tank, up to 16kw on the wheels. NF in the low dose did not do much, when I used the 1:40l mix it made a difference, no dyno figures though. The best road performance I got was with 1/4 tank 98, topped up with 95 and 1.4L of NF.. Car was an absolute beast.. When I filled up with 95 octane after the tank was out, I actually had pinging on take off as the ECU had advanced the timing so much.. I am using NF in every tank till I finally fit an ECU & hopefully go ethanol..
