Octane Booster question
 
Hey all, I been gone a while on a 3 week trip to D.C. and New Jersey. So its time to change my oil (it's been 4 months acutally :eek: ). Since its been about 6 months since i last ran 93 octane, I figure i'll buy maybe Shell V Power or just plane Super-grade.

I bought some Prestone 0 to 60 Octane Booster. It says it increses octane by up to 10 points in regular unleaded gasoline. One bottle treats 16 gallons of gas, so that sounded like me ;) The bottle says it can be run in every tank if so desired. It also says it contains MMT whatever the hell that is.

This stuff any good? Is octane booster good for cleaning things out? If I run Shell V power (its 95 octane i believe) AND the octane booster, will it cause any problems? Should i just run plain 93 octane with the booster?

Thanks in advance
Cliff :bowtie:

ive ran 110 in a stock motor it makes it smell good but i use to run octane booster in my truck and i never noticed any difference

The reason I wanna run it is to kinda clean it out basically. I know my neighbor talked about buying some 112 racing feul for his truck, but he also has a 350 outta a nova he had rebuilt in his truck... so i don't think that's for me :)

Should I use the octane booster?

Unless it actually says that is cleans the fuel system then its not gonna do any thing except boost the octane!

To clean your sys. you need to buy a fuel system cleaner additive.

Yeah it lists on the bottle the following:
*Reduces knocks and pings
*Clean Feul Injectors
*Clean Carburetors
*Help Restore lost power
It also says it breaks up deopisits in the system.
