OH, no! Not another xylene thread.
For those interested in xylene or toluene, take a look at this chromatogram. It's from an instruement that seperate gasoline into it's individual components.

Notice some of the largest peaks (which is fairly relative to the % composition) are toluene, and xylenes. "Xylene" is a mixture of three isomers - O, M and P. These aren't foreign substances to you fuel system. Toluene and xylene are already major components of gasoline. Adding more is like spiking cola with more caffeine.
HTH some feel better about using xylene.
