I believe there is also some health hazard, so use this stuff with 
caution and good ventilation. Avoid skin contact and breathing the 
fumes.

A good way to avoid paint damage is to add your measured amount of 
Toluene to a nearly full gas can while at the other end of the 
driveway, then walk up to your car and pour this partially diluted 
mixture into the tank.
