Hi,
I currently own a Mini Cooper S (2011) and I am experiencing knock (confirmed by logging). Both fuel quality and octane are horrible here. There is only one type of gasoline available from the pump. Which is supposedly 84 Mon/ 95 Ron (89,5 AKI?)
I had been using Toluene with good results. BUT I have been told to add ATF (MMO not available here) not to damage my engine.
1) Is it necessary to add lubricant if not using more than %10 of toluene? For example: 45 liters of petrol + 5 liters of toulene.
2) If it is necessary or good practice will any kind of ATF do? Or should I get a specific type?
3) Will using this formula damage my catalytic converter or O2 sensors?
4) What is the optimal ratio of ATF to Toluene?
5) How much will ATF degrade the octane level I am trying to enhance in the first place?
Many Thanks
