[QUOTE="Rich Rohrich, post: 629846, member: 16241"] High vapor pressure low boiling point compounds like pentane, acetone, MTBE, and a host of other components can be used to improve throttle response. The problems these compounds pose aren't insignificant though. Cost is high on a per liter basis, and handling/storing this stuff is annoying at best , dangerous at worst. Plus you are basically blazing your own trail in terms of jetting and basic tiuning with combinations like this. Don't get me wrong. It can certainly be done. It's not news that some smaller race fuel producers have used a base of AvGas that they add their own blend of components to. AvGas is a high alkylate fuel so it makes a pretty good base to work from when playing backyard petrochemist. I've done it with good results but it is RARELY cost effective. The [b]PROPER[/b] race fuel is still a pretty good value when you look at the big picture. [/QUOTE]
