Adamw Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 I have never heard on isopropanol being used as a fuel, I know some "fuel stabilisers" use it but I suspect that is only to solubilise any water/contamination in the tank. If you have 99+% isopropanol it could boost octane a little but it is not good as ethanol. Most consumer level isopropanol is only about 70% (30% water) so that wouldnt be useful as a fuel at all if thats what you have. You would probably be better to look for Toluene or similar if you want to mix your own as a relatively small concentration can make a decent difference.
