Default Container for Toluene? (More)

I am trying to find a container in which to pour the Toluene from the 5 gallon canister into a smaller canister but the Toluene ate through my five gallon gas can and I cannot find any old metal gas cans......what are u guys using to pour the toluene into the tank?

Also what is the max you guys recommend putting in with a full tank of 91 craptane (CA style)??? TIA

Also if one added enough Toluene to raise the octane to 100 oct. would you recommend turning on the APR 100 oct. program?

With 91 octane you can put 2-3 gals of toluene into your tank at once if you fill up the tank with gas afterwards. You'd have to put all 5 gals in the tank to get anywhere close to 100 octane. And no, I wouldn't recommend using the 100 octane program unless you have 100 octane fuel.

Cheers,

Default get a siphon pump from an auto parts store

and just pump the tolulene into the tank. Much easier than pouring it out of the barrel into another res.
