you make a big misconception and need to stop riding someone else's coattails... just cuz ONE guy has done it doesnt make it a good idea. and a good FMIC setup will always be there and will not run out. And youd be hard pressed to use up a WHOLE fuckin tank of race gas in one night... however, a liter tank of alky would probably go by Pretty damn fast. besides, if you tuned your car for pump gas, this wouldnt even be a problem.

a bandaid is a make-shift solution, not a long term solution. for a drag car that only goes out one night of the week, thats fine. for a car that someone intends to drive every day, i would recommend against.

btw, just so you can insert your foot; every gasoline blend on the face of the earth contains Xylene or Toluene. its a high end product with a high volatility. it can be blended to add knock resistance to fuels. and running a 33% mix with a little MMO to stabilize it and lubricate the pintles, there ARE no adverse effects. every car i used it on ran better than with sunoco race gas bought from the track. it also cleans out your fuel injection system, like it was brand new. removes all varnishes and gums. Toluene and Xylene are one of the main ingredients in octane booster, fuel injector cleaner additives and brake cleaner. If it can be used in brake cleaner and not leave a residue, id say thats pretty damn clean.

however, good luck keeping the alky from absorbing moisture out of the air.

you can roll your eyes at me all you want, but it doesnt make you right or it a good idea for a daily drive street car.

there IS no substitute for a well setup car with sufficient fueling and intercooling.

like i said, fix the CAUSE of the problem, not the AFTERMATH of the problem.

if you REALLY need something to cool your intake charge down, just use propane injection. a propane tank will have a lot larger of a reserve and can go farther between recharging. plus it removes more heat when changing phases as well as having a high octane rating of ~114.

do some research on propane injection; itll blow alky injection out of the water.
