1/6 of a bottle for road, 1/3 for track is what I use.

Why not get a small measuring cup. Pharmacy, doctors surgery, hospital or whatever.
You can then add exact amounts.
Instructions say, and for normal road use, 1ml/litre is satisfactory.
2mls/l for more spirited use but if you have a knock link you will soon have it sussed.
On empty my tank takes 50 litres so 50mls is adequate. Add NF before petrol.

Question 1 or 2 mls

So would you say 2mls would be fine for road use or 1ml to be safe ?

Cheers

Doesn't really need to be exactally 50 ml, all depends when you re-fuel. I usually put around 50 ml in at roughly 1/4 tank left.

Take heed of this ! the filler-tank pipe has a dip in it that can easily hold a bottle of octane booster !!

I use a whole bottle per tank, just for safety, but some may consider that expensive and unnecessary.

Some have reported plug fouling/reduced life at high concentrations ?

NF from Pentland components, RCM, AS Performance and no doubt Conrad will be along to try and sell you some soon too

Priced from £11-£14 per bottle.

NF is far superior to Millars Octane Plus.
If you read the blurb on the side of the bottles you will see that Miller`s admit that themselves. Remember that 10 Octane points = 1 Ron.
One bottle NF per tank is silly. From the technical stuff I have read and an independant test report I believe there is no gain from anything in excess of 3mls per litre.
The NF importer is Roger Clark Motorsport, Desford, Leicestershire and they have numerous distributors but it is available mail order. I stock it for fellow Tyne Tees Scoobies members but cannot be bothered with sending out by mail.

NF seems to rank at the top. Smaller doses needed to.
