On Toulene/Xylene, Just because they don't immediately kill you, doesn't mean it's not a long term hazard ( Kidneys/liver ).

( I'm making myself sould very old@! ) I broke out severly using Xylene with a respirator,gloves and chem. suite. ( A related life lesson, don't take a leak shortly after handling chemicals, it's not pretty! )

I guess I don't see the point, even if it gains a few H.P., unless you're racing competitively. But, I guess I don't have to! Each to their own.

Well, it's a beautiful Friday for a top-down drive , only 5 more hours!

It's toxic as hell, I'm in total agreement just pointing out that it shows up in consumer products if you look. As far as the danger.... I inhaled more asbestos from brake pad dust that most, we used air guns to blow it all over the shop what did we know? I've irradiated thousands of people including myself, just ask Mrs Roentgen or Madam Curie if that's a goodplan for longevity!

Something will kill us all, you want an egg or candybar? I say eat up...
