53. The 1st 4 are not in race gas. (oxygen bearing)
Tolulene and Xylene are mild solvents (often used as paint thinners), less volatile than gasoline base stock. Dioxaned is an oxygen bearing addative, not in race fuel (will not pass fuel check). Hi-rev and Klotz are brand names.

Read the article, dude - it's about checking fuel with a dielectric meter for oxygen bearing additives, and thresholds of detectability of same. Nothing to do with what is in race gas or methanol....

Straight methanol must be handled and stored very carefully to pass this sort of fuel check, as a small amount of water will make it fail the test.
