My grandpa was able to source that substance somewhere because he was working in the industry. My feeling was that the octane rating of that liquid was close to 20 max as the engine was knocking with even minimal load and 10% of it was water. Draining water from the carb bowls was an item of the pre-ride checklist
All the minimum amount of proper gasoline that they were able to source was consumed by my uncle's Jawa 350 which was as picky as these Ninjas
