Question

I have bought some octane booster but cannot work out the chart.

There are several ways it could be.
I first though 20ml per litre of petrol for 2% increase in ron.

any ideas????????????????????????????????????/



Had a sniff of the stuff and it blew my head off, it is alot stronger than your usual octane booster.

Never used octane boost so could be totally wrong but ...
Does the percentage actually refer to the increase in RON? Is it just coincidence that the tables show the amount you would add in order to add that percentage by volume?
ie 10ml is 1% of a litre and 45.5ml is 1% of a gallon.

I've got my coat ready in case I don't know what I'm talking about

Doesn't seem too bad!

All the pumps work in litres, so lets keep it simple and stay with those. (Just for the record I do drink my warm beer in pints!)

First decide what you want to get to in Octane rating. eg If you are putting in 95 and you want to get to 97 then you are going to need to use the 2% line.

This means for every litre of 95 petrol that you have gurgled into your tank, add 20ml of additive.

Or to put it another way, for every 10 litres of petrol, put in 200ml of additive.

This should work out for a tank full of 50 litres of petrol, put in 1 litre of additive. (I'm hoping that the bottle that you have got is 1 litre in volume, which would make it really easy. If it is just chuck one in each time you fill up!)

Don't really know if this is right, but if I'd got it that's what I would do!

I'd agree with sheepy.

This may sound a daft question, but does anyone know if this things o.k in a 22.5 cc 2 stroke chainsaw engine, and if so what is the maximum octain level I can safely go to. Also, how does it store in terms of the octane level dropping off, as in :

Thats what i first thought but 1 litre of booster seems alot compared to the 250ml you normally put in.

It is £9 a bottle (1 litre) so that seems expensive compared to other boosters.

Cheers

But how much of NF do you use for 1 tankfull the whole 300ml?
By the sounds of it I am getting 1 tankfull from £9
When I asked about NF they told me 3-4 tanks from one bottle.
Or is this incorrect?

Cheers
