About how many times using boosters with mmt will you see these deposits? Is it like everytime you fill up, or just once or twice a month?
I have used some and I can tell a difference. But I dont want to foul anything up in the process.
How can a company keep in business selling this stuff with mmt in it and stay in business? If it is suppose to be harmful to your engine?
Thanks.
Also what about using some feul system cleaner every now and then to clean things up a bit? Just a thought.

Octane boosters are Xylene/Toluene. If you want a true booster, run a 10-30 percent mix of Xylene/Toluene in your gas. That will bump you up substantially. I am well rehersed on the topic.

Toluene = 114 octane;
1gallon toluene + 11gallons = 92.92octane
((1/12)(91)+(11/12)(114)) = 92.92
6gals toulene + 6gals 91gas = 102.5octane
there are additives in pump gas like cleaners etc......i dont think its a big deal if you dump in a gallon or 2 of toluene

silvrevo, I know your dilemma ... I've asked around on local forums to only come up with unleaded racing gas locations and mixing Toluene. We're SOL when it comes to finding 93, unless we drive east a whole state.
