Steve,
Toluene varies from $30 to $45 (20L)depending on where you buy it.I usually get mine
from Cooper & Dysarts which is a fuel depot in Mandurah WA.You should be able to get
some thru your local fuel supply depot.I have also been able to locate it paint
supplier at a much cheaper rate but the guy doesnt get it any more.Be vary careful
with your paint work as this stuff will take it off.I wouldnt recomend running any
more than 20-25 percent but the F1 boys used to run it using more than 50 percent
when running over 50psi boost.They also reported peak hp was at 15 percent richer
mixtures.
