how many gallons of toluline with a tank of gas do you mix?

KevinLV

oh i'm running 91 oct and need to boost to like 93-96 range

VerrÜckt

No more than 30% mix

KevinLV

30% of the gallon or 30% of the tank

KevinLV

30% of 16 gallons is 5.4 isn't that a little much toluline?

KevinLV

is there a website that has the calculations? or somewhere that has info so i can calc myself

multiply the octane times the # of gallons of that gas.

Do that for each gas and add up the results.

Divide by the total number of gallons to get the average octane.



So, it all depends on how much gas you want to have in your tank. If you had 3 gallons of 91 and 1 gallon of 114...

(3*91 + 1*114) / (3+1) = average octane
387 / 4 = 96.75


Note: this is 25% mix of Toluene. 25% of the total is Toluene - 1 gallon of the total 4.

Mark P

if you do 30%*114 + 70%*91, you get 97.9 octane

so would just one gallon of toluene with the rest being 91 move me up to at least 93?

Given toluene is 114 octane, here's the figgerin'.
This assumes you fill up with 91 craptane after adding the toluene and rounds the tank capacity to 15 gallons...

Octane= (114t+91(15-t))/15
This simplifies to Octane=1.53t+91, which says - in English - that each gallon of toluene adds 1.53 octane in a full tank of mix.
