Toluene/Tollex

[James Weiler]

If you can get me the UPAC nomenclature I can tell you exactly what the 
difference is. UPAC=union of pure and applied chemists
Toluene for example is methyl benzene, geez, I hope I'm remembering that 
right :)
Or a chemical formula, might help. toluene is C7H9  at least it will tell 
me if there is any oxygens or nitrogens in it for example.  Problem is, 
if it's significantly different it's octane rating will be different as 
well.  Flat aromatics like benzene, toluene and phenols aren't the 
greatest octane boosters.  They tend to be the culprits when we talk 
about a 'gummed' up carb. or injectors.  Is there something about methyl 
t-butylether (MTBE) that you don't like?
