Pretty sure it's 'unobtainium' now. I could be mis-remembering, but I
think I used Hexane as an additive to fuel for my compression ignition

That would have been ether, assuming you mean model engines: 40% ether,
20% castor oil, 39% kerosene, 1% amyl nitrate runs pretty well.

Outside a lab I've only seen hexane sold as thinners for Evostik contact
cement.
