Sheefa Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Hi all, Just wondered if you add anything like a RON additive to improve the fuel mix and increase it to 99 or something. Is this even possible?? Someone mentioned it the other day. I've been filling my car up on Esso Premium which is about 97 I think - hoping that's ok. Don't Tesco do a 99RON now, or again am I mistaken? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 If you do want an "octane booster" get some Toluene from your local chemical suppliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Be careful handling Toluene though as it may be carcinogenic & can cause respiritory problems. Wear gloves & organic vapour mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
