which one is recommend over the other for a stock car or do i use both and mix both.

which is preferred toulene or xylene, or are there certain factors that come in to play when using one or the other.

what is the mix they told me for every 3 gallons add 1/2 gallon of xylene to the tank but what about toulene, do both of these chemicals work the same way or are there differences. my friend turbojorge tolc me that if i was to run a little xylene then i will reduce then knock risks on the motor is this true..

i wanted to know you view on this guys which is preferred.
please get back a.s.a.p. as i want to head out to the shermin williams tommorrow morning being that my friend i fotgot works there so i want to come up on this stuff early tommorrow morning so if someone could back with a reply a.s.a.p.

this would be very helpful any info provided on this topic.
 
JUST DID!!!!!

but i wanted to know what effects do these chemical have on our car o2 sensor in the short and long runs on unleaded pump gas 93 octane.....
please someone get back please.....:D
 
Xylene will do ZERO harm to the catalytic converter, O2 sensor, etc.... it can dry out the rubber/plastic parts in your fuel system over time but ONLY if you don't add a top cylinder lube such as Marvel Mystery Oil.

I've been messing with this stuff for 8+ years and have had no problems because of the xylene at all. Best recipe to use IMO is:

3 gallons Xylene + 9 gallons 93 octane pump gas + 2OZ Marvel Mystery Oil = 99 octane home brew

The only difference between the two(as far as your car is concerned) is :
Xylene - 117 octane
Toulene - 114 octane

Mix up to 30 percent in with the gas, add a little light oil(maybe an ounce per gallon of chemical) and away you go...........:)
Get an extra fuel filter handy, either of these two will clean all the crap out of your tank if there is any.
