They're also air cooled and rotary engines.

Airplane fuel ain't carosean....Carosean is for jet engines.
You can use the airplane fuel....A lot of people I know used it for dragracing.
My father works at an oil refinary and he said it was ok to use when racing it's just High octane fuel(Nafta)

I think that its close to the same ---- that super-cars and funny cars are running. Containing EXTREME amounts of volatile chemicals.

airplane gas isn't rated in the same "octane" kinda scale we are used to... its not that special either, despite being kinda expensive..

Most air planes are 500ish Ci 6cylinders and only rev to like 2500rpms.... torque, not Hp..

Lots of the smaller homebuilt airplanes use Subaru flat 4 motors. Airplane fuel is fine to use but make sure you don't have an O2 sensor or a cat. Airplane fuel is leaded and will ---- both up.

My mom used to fuel airplanes(usually learjets and such, sometimes the big ones too), and used the airplane fuel in her AMC hornet. She didn't have any problems for a while, but it did eventually die.

most people think its just a "super gas". if u fill your tank with 100% tulene, the car wont even start.

I regestered just to tell you that you are a retard. To say that toluene is non-combustable is like saying that gasolene is edible. If you sincerely believe one, please believe the other. And read this http://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/chemi...basic_tol.html. It might make you sound professional.

I would say that you got owned. I just thought of something. Maybe if we got all the burnouts that sniff ---- to snif this ---- they would go away. ::) also sounds like agent orange.
