What Octane Boosters Does BluePrint Engines Recommend?

 When Should I Use An Octane Booster?

An octane booster may be helpful when:

• Premium fuel is unavailable.
• The available fuel does not meet your engine's minimum octane requirement.
• You are traveling in an area with limited fuel options.
• You need a temporary solution between fuel stops.

Octane boosters should not be considered a substitute for consistently using the proper fuel.

Is Octane Booster Better Than Using The Correct Fuel?

No.

Whenever possible, use fuel that already meets your engine's required octane rating.

For example:

• If your engine requires 91 octane, use 91 octane fuel or higher.
• If your engine requires 93 octane, use 93 octane fuel or higher.

Octane boosters should be used only when necessary.

Can I Use Octane Booster In Any BluePrint Engine?

Generally, yes.

However, always follow the manufacturer's mixing instructions and never exceed the recommended treatment ratio.

Can Octane Booster Increase Horsepower?

Not necessarily.

Octane booster does not automatically create more horsepower.

Its primary purpose is to help prevent:

• Detonation
• Spark knock
• Pre-ignition

when sufficient octane fuel is unavailable.

Will Octane Booster Fix A Tuning Problem?

No.

If an engine is experiencing:

• Incorrect ignition timing
• Lean air/fuel ratios
• Mechanical issues

an octane booster will not correct the underlying problem.
