So what's a amount of toulene to use in your fuel and how often?

just pick up an octane booster(I've used that 104 stuff) and run the recommended dosage.

You can use just about any amount you want. I've used a quart in 1/4 - 1/2 a tank of gas. It won't hurt anything. I don't think more than once/year is necessary. This type of chemical is prone to forming soot on combustion so don't use it all the time or during an emissions check.

Thanks for the input, but i have a question....how can it be a cleaner and still crud up the injectors with soot?

It cleans in liquid form, but soot byproducts are produced when it combusts. It doesn't burn cleanly.

The injectors stay clean, the soot forms in the combustion chamber. As long as you don't let it build up too much with over use of the toluene, the small amount produced will burn off.

heh, I noticed berryman's B-12 has tolulene in it also.
