octane
Octane is a hydrocarbon and also an alkane with the chemical formula C8H18, and the condensed structural formula CH3(CH2)6CH3. Octane has many structural isomers that differ by the location of branching in the carbon chain. One of these isomers, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (commonly called iso-octane), is used as one of the standard values in the octane rating scale.
Octane is a component of gasoline and petroleum. Under standard temperature and pressure, octane is an odorless, colorless liquid. Like other short-chained alkanes with a low molecular weight, it is volatile, flammable, and toxic. Octane is 1.2 to 2 times more toxic than heptane.

Engine AMC 290 Fuel
Recently (a few months ago, but went right into storage) picked up a 1979 CJ7. Most of it isn't factory anymore, including the AMC 290 the PO put in it, and I have questions. The most pressing, now that I'm almost through that original tank of fuel, is what fuel to use. I've read that the 290's...- Chipotle Friday
