i recently added a store bought octane booster/cleaner in my gas tank. i was on empty when added, but my tank is only 16 gallons. after adding it,like it said, i read that it treats 25 gallons! now, when i accelerate hard, my engine hesitates at high rpms....anyone ever had this problem or know a solution? please help
thanks

did i f up my car?

 

Why did you decided to put octane booster in?

 

The first mistake was using octane booster/cleaner. [:'(]
The second was not reading the mixing directions. [:@]
You running a tune? Octane booster is useless and
a waste of good $$ without a tune.
Was the stuff you added approved by Ford to be
safe for all the fuel system components?
I would say your fuelinjecters are toast. []
Stealership time.....

 

I don't think he did any damage, just take it easy and don't beat on it until you burn that current tank of gas. Most octane boosters/injector cleaners say they treat UPTO 25 or so gallons. There is no measuring that needs to be done. If it's hesitating at higher RPM's only, maybe it is just pulling timing up top.

 

i am runing a tuner, and i wanted to see the effects that higher octane had. there was no mixing instructions!

i am tuned for high octane 93+

 

Hmmmmm
And I was wondering WTF......

It didnt hurt it at all. That hesitation is all in your mind.

 

I've never seen one that will treat exactly 25 gallons, the probably made a typo.

 

Yuck. Torco fuel additive is the only additive safe to add to your fuel. Everything else can and will muck up your car. Hopefully this stuff didn't. Don't get on it too hard and burn this tank up. After that, run some sea foam through it. Then never do that again.

 

If you wanted to see what it would run like with higher octane fuel, you should have searched around for gas stations that carry higher octanes. Not try to use octane booster to raise the octane of 93.

 

Around here 93 is the highest octane we have. I would never put an octane booster in my car though.
