XYLENE

This is a chemical used for residential painting, but it has a purpose in the racing industry also. It makes racing fuel. Now I will list the mixing ratio for a mustang using 12 gallons of fuel. Why only 12 gallons instead of 15 gallons which it takes to fill a mustang, the reason is that going to the track and launching a mustang you should always leave the tank short by 3 gallons so that you do not force gas back into the return line or the charcoal filter. The mixture I will be showing will give 101 Octane Home Made Race Fuel. This mixture will not harm oxygen sensors or catalytic converters. I myself have used this mix and so has a couple hundred GN Regal Turbo cars in the last 3 years. Enough of the talk and now for the mixture and a generic break down on price per gallon.



XYLENE 3 gallons $24.00

93 Octane 9 gallons $13.00

Marvel Mystery Oil 2 oz $ .63 16oz $5.00

Total $37.63

Price Per Gallon Approx. $3.14 Gallon
