What else can be used when mixing Xyelene? MMO is getting hard to get here in Canada.

It's on the shelf of every Canadian Tire I have been into recently. I would imagine the Klotz lube that comes with the SMC alky kit would work well also. Others just use tranny fluid IIRC....check gntyype.org.

Joe Lubrant's article on the subject

Find it at http://www.gnttype.org/techarea/misc/octanebooster.html

His formula for octane boost:

MAKE YOUR OWN OCTANE BOOST
How to make your own octane booster (this is the basic formula of one of the popular octane booster products). To make eight 16 ounce bottles (128 oz = 1 gal):

100 oz of toulene for octane boost
25 oz of mineral spirits (cleaning agent)
3 oz of transmission fluid (lubricating agent)

This product is advertised as "octane booster with cleaning agent *and* lubricating agent!". Diesel fuel or kerosene can be substituted for mineral spirits and light turbine oil can be substituted for transmission fluid. Color can be added with petroleum dyes.
