Thumbs up Can you put in too much O.Booster??

Heard horror stories in the past about Bore Wash?? but what are the thoughts on overfilling with booster?? or does it not matter??

As an example.. I run a "Type R" on Optimax and about 75 too 100ml of NF booster in each full tank.

Mods: Full De-Cat
Blitz panel filter
EcuTek Conservative re-mapp

Cheers guy's.

Borewash would be due to massive overfuelling, not how much OB you put in.

I'd say you're using too much NF as you say your remap is conservative. If the map took advantage of the quantity used it'd be another matter - although on a stdish car the differences wouldn't be massive anyway. Others with quite highly modded cars, use less than that.

But it's your money

Its diminishing returns on OB anyway. 75 ml per tank isn't excessive either

I think it was in biology or chemistry, we did this test where you kept adding loads of salt to one beaker & loads of sugar to another (both filled with water). At some point there is a saturation level where no matter how much you add, it does not become a stronger solution.

The same is true of Octane Booster......don't go trying it as it will cost you & fortune.....

...if that were the case, then adding the maximum amount of O/B would result in a saturated solution. Additional additive would create an immiscible layer (that is sitting on top of, or below the fuel mixture -- assuming it's not being sloshed about too much). If that layer (pretty much raw O/B) got drawn into the fuel pick-up, would it not wreak havoc when the engine tries to burn it?

Or, assuming that the above layer separation does occur, could you (safely) take the approach that a layer sat right at the top/bottom of the fuel tank couldn't possibly get drawn in the the pick-up (where is that???). In that scenario, surplus O/B would get diluted in to the freshly pumped fuel next time around.

Plausible?
