I saw one of their representatives on a Power Block show on Spike the other day. Race Gas racing fuel concentrate is formulated to increase the octane rating of regular 87 unleaded to 100-105 octane. Has anyone here used or heard about this?

just checked it out and fired them an e-mail with a list of questions so we shall see what they say Stephen
Looking forward to their response. If it works as advertised it sure would be convenient.Quote:

The various components of crude oil have different sizes, weights and boiling temperatures; so, the first step is to separate these components. Because they have different boiling temperatures, they can be separated easily by a process called fractional distillation.
Sometimes, the structures of molecules in one fraction are rearranged to produce another. Commonly, this is done using a process called alkylation. In alkylation, low molecular weight compounds, such as propylene and butylene, are mixed in the presence of a catalyst such as hydrofluoric acid or sulfuric acid (a by-product from removing impurities from many oil products). The products of alkylation are high octane hydrocarbons, which are used in gasoline blends to reduce knocking.
Acid in a can? :shrug:
Torco is what you need to look into
if you would spend a little time researching what it takes to improve octane in gasoline
you would never believe any of this hype..
good post btw..Quote:
