Additive questions

Petroleum Solvent Cas#8008-20-6
2-Propanol Cas#67-63-0
MTBE Cas#1634-04-4
Aliphatic Diolefin Cas#26472-00-4

Petroleum Solvent Cas#8008-20-6 = Kerosene - This should be avoided at ALL costs. This is a common additive in those BS Lead Substitute products.

2-Propanol Cas#67-63-0 = Isopropyl alcohol - A common additive in fuel driers like HEET. BAD idea to dump this in your race bike.

MTBE Cas#1634-04-4 - An excellent fuel additive from a performance and response standpoint, but it's unpredictable when used in pump fuels.

Aliphatic Diolefin Cas#26472-00-4 - I'm pretty sure this is a resin oil used in asphalt production. It also shows up in Lead Substitute products. (someone correct me if my memory is spooging)

My advice, lose this crap asap. Sorry.

BTW - Is that the CD2 additive ?
