I have never used any before but have been advised to do so therefore a few basic questions
1. I have been advised that Miller is best, any thoughts?
2. Can it be obtained mail order or is it too dangerous to be sent
by a carrier
3. If it is available mail order has anybody any phone nos for
suppliers
4. Does anybody know anyone in Hampshire who sells it (if I need
to collect it)
5. How much should I add to a tank of fuel, I normally run
on Optimax
5. Lastly I am looking to do a couple of runs through France this
year, I have been told you should put more in if you intend to
do long runs in hot weather, is this true, also anything I
should know about French fuel?

Stuart, there are a couple of options on the booster front. You have millers, nf, silkolene pro boost and wynnes.

I have tried millers and nf on a regular basis, and one can of pro boost. I have never tried wynnes, so cant comment.

Millers you put one bottle per tank of fuel. Gives good results.

NF, you put 1ml per litre of fuel. Again gives good results.

Pro Boost from memory (used a few years ago) is the same as NF, 1ml per litre.

Suppliers, NF = New Age Motorsport, post asking to speak to either Dingy (Steve) or Craig Hardmen.

Millers can be obtained from Litchfield Imports.

I think both have banner ads at the top of the page.

Thumbs up

I use Millers, nice and easy one bottle per tank. I get it from either Scoobymania or Scoobyparts.

Tried and tested, only Octane boost to give you up to 6 degree's advance on a standard engine.

I get mine from dingy, and they do mail order as its not flammable.

Nic
