Don't do it... I tried it and melted down two dirt circle race engines. It literally burned holes thru the tops of the pistons on both engines. I had researched and studied articles from major oil company scientists, who recommended UP TO 10% Toluene and UP TO 4 oz of Acetone per 22 gallon fuel cell for racing purposes. The Acetone is suppose to bind the elasticity of the hydrogen and oxogen molecules for better more complete burn pattern, and the Toluene is suppose to increase the octane points for reduced detonation. Both solvents can be easily located at any lumber yard/hardware store, so I started experimenting with it. I worked up to about 8% and 3 oz per 22 gal but after just a short time I lost both engines to meltdown. So, don't bother, it is too dangerous. Av-Gas 100-LL is a much better alternative if you can't get race gas. I ran a lot of Av-Gas after that, before swithing to methanol for better cooling and performance.
