It's one of the most aggressive 'over-the-counter' solvents. You'd have to be very careful with gaskets and O-rings.
Very expensive.
CRC Manual would have it's mass Btu heating value rating.
HONDA R&D may have used it at the Indy 500 in the 1980s as a motor fuel. Really high octane-equivalency ( high-compression capability ).
Don't breathe it!
Don't get it in your skin.
It's probably a known and registered mutagenic, carcinogenic VOC.
Material Safety Data Sheet probably available online.
