Where do you get toluene? And you run it through once every couple months?

Paint store - but don't tell them it's for a car. They could say you're buying a motor vehicle fuel without paying the federal tax if they wanted to be mean - then they wouldn't sell it to you.

Run it whenever you want a boost.

FYI: If you're involved at all with illegal drugs do not buy more than a gallon of Toluene at a time: Apparently it is a major ingredient in the drugs that blow up trailer parks, so buying 5 or more gallons at a time (like I do) will raise eyebrows. The guys at my paint store are cool, I told them I mix my own gas for off road engines - the offered to sell me a 55 gallon drum, but I don't have a truck with a lift.

I haven't run it in the Disco yet

Well, that kinda changes everything, doesn't it???? I thought the same thing about Acetone that I had been running in my Jeep and still using it from time to time, until I tried it in the Disco and blew the 2 aft O2 sensors the very first time using it!!!!!!!!!!

I always wondered how to blow up trailer parks! j/k

Why haven't you run it thru your Disco yet? And do you think it cleans better then SeaFoam?

exactly like the sites recommended, 3 ounces per 10 gallons. Have been using it in my Jeep for over a year now, and had used it in my wife's X-Terra with no problems at all, until I used it in the Disco for the 1st time and blew the O2 sensors after driving about 10 miles with the Acetone in the tank.

Acetone is an oxygenator - different animal from toluene.

I've never used Sea Foam, so I can't compare.

I haven't put it in the Disco yet because I'm waiting to resolve a cold start knock I have and because I don't have any - I need to get more.

Well, keep us posted then. Cause after my experience with acetone, I'll let somebody else be the guinea pig on this one

I tried the Lucas Octane Booster in my 99 D2 and the results were amazing. The truck has like new power and smoothness. At almost $9.00 a bottle it is not cheap, but like I said the results are nothing short of amazing.

So what is going on with your cold morning knock, are you using a cheap oil filter that is draining down over night?
