Moth balls are not napthalene, they are paradichlorobenzene.  At least
they used to be.

But they probably work anyway.

Here's another recipe:
	1) in a well ventilated area (a hood works well), add a few drops
	   of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to 2 oz. methanol (wood alcohol).
	   Mix well.
	2) Add this to 4 oz. of toluene (this is the main ingredient of many
	   commercial octane boosters).
	   Mix well.  Store in a clean, tightly capped container.  It keeps
	   for a few months.
	3) Use one tablespoon per tank (12gal or so)  (not a misprint, 1 tbsp.).

This has been used successfully by at least one person (who is not me).

Best of luck.  Please understand that this is offered without warrantee.

Have a leaded premium day.
