Question

Going to try NF instead of the Millers i have been using.
Which one to choose?
One Shot or go for Race? If race what sort of mls/litre are people adding to a tank (50l)?
Car is running fine with no det showing on knock link but id sooner run the car nearer to the intended RON level.

Thanx in advance

XXX

XXX,

Recommended doseage is 60ml per tankful - (Race formula) 1ml per litre of fuel.

10ml wont do any damage to the car, I used to use 60ml per tankful on my STI-V but now I've had the car mapped for 100ml

Talking

If it's sposed to up the RON on say for example 50 litres of fuel 3 point's with a 60ml dose, how can a 100ml dose take it any further than the 3 point's

Figures above are probably b0llocks as I don't know the quoted figures from the product.

I bought 50 bottles of NF one-shot.

I've got a Link ecu in the car, Bob Rawle did some tests with his own car and recommended that 100ml and Optimax fuel map would be the way forward, he then mapped my car accordingly to suit the Optimax + 100mls of NF....

Similar to TBM for me. Bob Rawle mapped it for a good dollop - we didn't have any measuring jug etc with us and it felt/looked like double dose 100-120mil. I run on the road at around 60 per tank (which I'm pretty sure is 60 litres), but watch the knocklink - you can always put a bit more in- it won't hurt, and then double up for the track ( and still watch the knocklink)

Question

Just a n00b question if I may. The NF race comes in a dark bottle. How do you all know just how much you're putting in?

get a small water bottle , ideally with a pullout gym squirter thing on the top, drink the water , measure, using your wife's pyrex measuring jug, 60, or 100ml or whatever of water back into the empty water bottle, mark, repeat etc. Empty and dry bottle, and then fill with NF. Chuck away the drinks bottle regularly as the OB will rot it , but not before transferring the markings to an identical bottle. Voila, not only a handy dispenser but one that you dont need a funnel for. Mark the bottle with skull & crossbones,poison etc/ keep out of reach of kids.

Next week we will be building a space shuttle using just sticky backed plastic and two squeezy bottles..

Yep with Fat Boy there

I use 'Powerade' bottles, theyre squeezy, again I used a measuring jug and marked for myself 100ml incriments with a permanent marker pen, everytime I fill up I just squeeze out (ooer!) 100mls according to my calculations lol into the tank and jobs a good un.

I replace the bottle every 3 months as the NF deffo does plastic no good.

Personally I wouldnt carry much more than 1 bottle of NF in the car, i've had a bottle leak in the boot and it took months for the smell to go away, another time a bottle split in the box (box of 10) and pi55ed everywhere in my lounge etc.....grrrr!
