you cut a length of fuel line out, and place the octane booster in it's place, jubilee clip it in and away you go

it basically catylyses the petrol making 95 RON effectively 100RON :D, and i've seen them work, they're £80, and last 250,000 miles

happy days

:lol:

well it'll give improved MPG and better burning, so the car will burn cleaner, will be like running your car on high octane all the time, so while there's no BHP gains, it'll run a lot smoother and cleaner

i'll try and find the paperwork for them, they're called "Formula Power" and also specialise in performance HT leads, they're mail or phone order from what i can remember

Think I save my £80 and use super unleaded, tesco super unleaded is 99RON :D

Won't really help a 1.4 engine.

why not use tesco super unleaded (99ron) and see have that goes! Gives you an idea but since it's only 4-7p more than normal petrol (guessing) then I think I rather use the petrol pumps :)
