Octane in a can?

[Stephen06GT]

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?

Looking forward to their response. If it works as advertised it sure would be convenient.

especially for us guys up north that can`t get race fuel readily and still want to street drive our turbo junk

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.

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..

I've used Torco Race Fuel Concentrate in my old Cobra and it worked awesome. I still have 5 cans but no car requiring it anymore.
