5 gallons of Toluene (Racing Fuel)

I finally got 100 posts so now I can list in the for sale section . I am selling 4 gallons of toluene in a 5 gallon barrel. Toluene used to be the fuel used in F1 racing with an octane rating of 116 (I believe). It is technically a paint thinner, but can also be used as racing fuel instead of paying 10/gallon for C16. I've used it before in my previous car (turbo s2000) at the drag strip and it worked wonders. If you have any doubts about the safety of it, just google it and get the history of it in the automotive industry. I'm trying to get $20 picked up in So Cal. Thanks!

You can get it at a few select Sherwin Williams paint supply stores. But, when you purchase it, don't mention anything about using it for fuel because technically its "illegal". Its relatively cheap when compared to C16 and such.

Just don't bond a hydro-carbon and three nitrogen radicals to it or you will make tri nitro toluene (aka TNT). Of course, that should give you some serious 0 to 60 times.
