octane mixing

How many liters of c-14 race fuel would it take to turn a full tank of 92 into 94 octane?

Emay · July 30th, 2008, 08:39 PM

I don't recall the ratio in C-14 of iso-octane and heptang.

I know 92 is listed as 92 octane because it is 92% isooctane and 8% heptane. Having the exact number of gallons, and finding out exactly how much isooctane is present in c-14, you should be able to come to the required amount to add via simple mathmatics.. Now the search begins for c-14's chemical back bone..

Also, are you using c-14 or c-14 plus, there's a point difference in motor octane rating..

how many gallons is your tank?

How much leaded fuel does it take to ruin the cats? If trying to jump from 92 to 94 rating why not use a non-leaded octane booster ... NOS or whatever reputable brand out there?

That means toulene is rated equally based on Hmusn's findings, and the math there is known to be 10% of your total volume in order to raise your octane rating to 94. So if it's truly full, 1.6 gallons of c-14 will bump you..
