I use Jectron. It is made by Lubro Moly.

 

The paint Solvent? The same ones from Ace hardware?.... Really now...

 

Can you use it every fill up? any harm to that?

 

Your truck is too nice to go experimenting with DIY fuel additives. Unless of course, you WANT to part it out. In that case, I have dibs on your bumper.

 

Haha, Right now the only fuel additives I use are Lucas and Seafoam. Those are actually the only ones I ever use.

 

The recipe is at the bottom of this page:

One more:

The Sherwin Williams application is for paint thinning, but it is essentially a liquid hydrocarbon just like gasoline (toluene or xylene).

Switzer, Do you put it in your gas? You sure this stuff won't kill the engine in the long run? ha

 

I do not use it in my Rover. I used it in my turbocharged cars to run extra boost at the track. Toluene and xylene are already ingredients in the gas you buy at the local gas station. What you get at the gas station is a mix (sometimes ethanol) of ingredients to produce a certain octane. Federal regulations mean there are dozens of different mixes depending on where you live and what season it is.

This blend will not hurt your engine, however, it will hurt your pocket book if you do it every day.

It will shorten the life of your O2's. In the right % it is a good injector cleaner,I talked to a chemist last year when I first heard about this on another forum and he debunked it.
If you use to much you will kill the O2's, to little and no benifit. The problem is that you have no idea how much is left in yout gas tank from the last time you put it in.

 

Toluene is already in the gas you buy, you are just adding more percentage of it to your tank. Nothing will be left behind since you are adding gasoline to gasoline. In this case what you are adding is a pure hydrocarbon with a higher octane rating. Leaded gasoline or race gas containing additives would hurt your cats, not toluene.
