[Lovebook]

Could try M7 product though. its selling like hotcake in japan.

[Whitepowder]

thanks. how much? Autobacs? Normal petrol stations carry the brand?

[Good-Carbuyer]

would like to try out 98ron with some octane boost to 100 or 101 for my car. wanna see any change in FC/response. Does anyone know any reputable/reliable octane boosters in the local market? Where to buy? Thanks i advance.

Try hypermiling: detour around regular traffic jams improves FC about 25%, applicable to any petrol Octane?

How about Martini Super Boost?

[Mona-vie]

Get the VP Octane Booster from Autobacs. Its a large can and it works. But very expensive and last for 1 tank only.

 

But it can damage your cat and O2 sensor if you use it frequently (just like other MMT based boosters).

Short write up on Toulene and effect on health...best to avoid it.

 

 

Toluene is a very important solvent in many industries. However, it must be handled with proper care and the right storage practiced because it can be pretty volatile and when mishandled, toluene can become trinitrotoluene which is very dangerous and explosive.

 

You may be exposed to toluene through inhaling contaminated air in your workplace or breathing in car exhaust fumes, working with kerosene, gasoline, paints, and lacquers, drinking contaminated water, contact with contaminated soil, and living near unsupervised hazardous wastes sites dealing with toluene and similar products.

 

Any substance is considered toxic or hazardous when it enters or may enter the environment and have direct and long term effects on the environment, or when it poses a danger to the environment on which human life is dependent, or when it creates an immediate threat to human life or health.

 

Toluene inhalation poses the greatest health hazard to the human central nervous system (CNS). Headache and slight sleepiness has been reported when individuals were exposed to about 50 ppm (parts per million) while reports of irritation of the nose, throat and respiratory tract are not unusual to those exposed to between 50 and 100 ppm of toluene.

 

A higher concentration, at 100 ppm, for example causes fatigue and vertigo; at 200 ppm, numbness, mild nausea, and symptoms similar to drunkenness are experienced, and at over 500 ppm, toluene inhalation can result to mental confusion and poor coordination. Still higher concentrations, those reaching 10,000 ppm or more can be severely fatal.

 

There is a serious health concern on the fact that toluene can have a very big impact on your brain as well as you neurobehavioral performance. Studies have determined that high levels of toluene exposure can result to a decrease in the performance on complicated tasks as well as longer response time.

 

Long exposure to toluene can result to dry, itchy and red skin or dermatitis. It can also considerably contribute to the level of overall exposure since toluene can be absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream. Prolonged contact to toluene can cause eye irritation, sometimes accompanied by redness and pain. Studies, however, have been inconclusive as to whether toluene can result to color vision disorders.

 

There have been reports of individuals as well as animals exposed to toluene for long durations that experienced hearing loss or have developed hearing problems, but these are not enough evidence for a direct relationship between long exposure to toluene and hearing loss. Common medications such as aspirin and acetaminophen taken during exposure to toluene can enhance the negative effects of toluene on your sense of hearing.

 

There is acute central nervous system breakdown in cases of accidental ingestion of toluene and this can also be fatal. Accidental swallowing of toluene exhibits the same symptoms as those of toluene inhalation in addition to abdominal pain and spasms.

 

Kidney and liver disorders may arise from a long exposure to very high concentrations of toluene. You should also avoid drinking alcoholic drinks since this combination has a dramatic effect on your liver more than each compound alone.

 

Nonetheless, toluene is not considered to be carcinogenic by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists and the US National Toxicology Program also arrived to the same classification and have not listed toluene among human carcinogens.

 

Toluene has a moderate health rating, severe flammability rating, slight reactivity rating and a severe contact rating as stated in the SAF-T-DATA ratings. It is very important that personal safety equipments are given to those who handle the compound. Proper storage and maintenance should also be given due attention and caution.

Thank you for your concern and health warnings.

 

There are tons of these stuff around my office.

 

These are nasty stuff and so is the petrol we use for our cars.

 

Important thing is to respect 'them' and avoid liquid contact or inhale the vapor ' excessively' even though they smelled kind of nice.

 

[MMouse]

No prob..you are right that petrol are also not friendly with humans..that's why I stay away the pump and let the attendant do their job as far as possible..tough job

Just another info..MTBE is also another chemical used as fuel addictive to boost octane level..however, due to health reason, some countries are banning the use of it...I would say as far as possible, read the content in the octane boosters and avoid these chemicals...

[5936]

Looks like you really do your research.

MTBE is a oxygenates. It don't boost power. But aids combustion of fuel.

It is planned as the replacement for lead.

 

But there are also many other countries that are not reedy to switch to MMT.

So MTBE is still in great demand.

For me it is so close and yet cannot touch.

How many times I am just beside or walking on top of these MTBE storage tanks.

 

[MMouse]

All info is readily available in Internet...still learning..nonetheless just want to highlight the Martini racing super boost does not contain any toluene or MTBE...so much safer to use...of course price wise is higher than other brands of octane booster without compromising the performance...

 

You seem to be in chemical industry...definitely knows more them me..:)

My paychecks depend on these stuff

[MMouse]

I would guess so too..

Not all fuel additives are myths. Most Octance boosters do wotk as advertised. However, as the product itself said already, its an OCTANE BOOSTER. Its not a POWER BOOSTER........

 

Octane booster only boost the RON of your petrol. It does not improve power. Its only required if you are experience pinging on your engine due to low RON value.

 

Eg. for my case, I experience pinging under load for my previous car due to timing too advance and its too lean. It was confirmed after I bought a can of the VP Octane Booster from autobacs. The pinging disappear and I get more power as well (because the car runs properly now) Then I get the car retune and no longer ping on regular 98.

 

Unless your car is specifically tuned to take advantage of high octane fuel or you are running some high performance engine or Turbo (provided you tune to the fuel you use). Running high RON fuel won't increase performance at all.

 

We can't compared our cars to racing cars cause they are highly tuned and engineered to take advantage of high octane racing fuel. If you were to pour in regular 98 and try to run, you will probably blow the engine due to excessive pinging.

fair enough, you made a valid point
