The only requirement is that you use the same fuel for which the engine was ORIGINALLY designed by BMW. In other words you can't run nitro-methanol in a gas engine, for example. There are no existing limits on additives or octane rating or a requirement concerning commercial availability.

Andrew what are you looking to do, a higher octane, or another substance?

Please do not use toluene... I knew a guy that died from exposure to it in karting. He was following another kart quite closely for a sprint race, and later that day his throat closed up due to exposure to toluene combustion products... and he died.

Don't do that.
