Petrol constitutes of alkanes about 20 - 30%, cycloalkanes 5%, alkenes 30 - 45% and aromatics 30 - 45%.
In the earlier Formula Days they used to use a fuel called TOLUENE!! in formula cars which has a RON of 120 octane. But as F1 restricted the amount of toluene used they mixed n-heptane to that brew. N-Heptane is 0 octane. Toluene is a high energy fuel which is really mindblowing. This is how you go about it.
Take about 6 ltrs of 93 octane from a pump. Pick up Toluene from a chemical dealer (4 ltrs). Mix the two, add about 10ml Transmission fluid. Even Diesel about 100ml can be added but this can be skipped, even the transmission oil part. Why i say use AT fluid is it is a very good cleaning agent and diesel has a high energy value and is a good lubricant.
Anyway 6ltrs gasoline and 4 ltrs Toluene. To calculate final octane number work on this
(Gas Octane X Quantity) + (120 X Toluene Qty)
----------------------------------------------
* * * * * *Total qty of toluene and gasoline
THis gives you the final octane number attained. example for 10ltrs. {(6X93) + (120X4)} / 10 = 103.8 octane.
DONT MIX MORE THAN 40% OF TOLUENE WITH NORMAL FUEL this is just to be on the safer side.
What you guys can do is try in the begining mixing 1ltr of toluene with 10ltrs. The response is simply great!. Your chemical guy incase he doesnt get what you are pronouncing give him the Formula ( C6H5CH3 ) try and get the sulphur free ones. Costs about 30Rs/ltr.
Do let me know your feedbacks. Ive tried this one every car possible, from zen's to supra's.
Cheers

PS: Do let me know if you can acquire or know anyone who can get me toluene at a cheaper rate. |
Something wrong with the formula .............
if I put 20 litres of 87 octane fuel and 2 litres of toulene ...then as per your fomula
(20 X 87) + (120 X 2) / 10 = 198!?!
