Default Airplane fuel while boosted?

i have a d15b w/t-25 turbo boosted to 7psi and was wondering about using some airplane fuel i have laying around. i have 5 gallons of it at my house and was wondering if i should use it or how much to use.

what octane is it?

chances are if it's been lying around, its probably not any good. besides, why would you do that to your civic, its just a little extreme, might eat your ---- apart

airplane fuel is alot different than race fuel, they're both designed for two different purposes. I wouldn't really bother with it, if your really worried about what type of gas to run go get some VP or some CAM2.

rember, gas doesnt make your car faster, its just lets it take more abuse. so your pretty much wasting time/money

Don't use airplane fuel, it is high octane but is very different than regular gas. I think it has something to do with the fact that airplane motors get to a certain rpm and stay there.

that was a friend of mine that wanted to ask a question but didn't feel like registering. i'll let him know that it's probly not a good idea.
i think he said it was 106 octane and he has had it for a couple of months. he wanted to put three gallons in his tank and fill up with the rest of the way with 92 octane.

Back in the day my buddy ran a mix of 10% 93 octane and 90% octane booster in his 3-wheeler. It was fast a ---- for 3 minutes until it blew up

thats because octane booster is tulene not gasoline.

its works my bonding to the gasonline atoms a molecular level to make the the fuel more resitant to cumbustion.

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