I have a 1999 Ford F150 with a Triton 5.4L V8 has 216,000 miles on it. What would happen if i added an Octane boost to the fuel? I was told by my dad that an Octane boost is used in older engines that were designed to use leaded gas since they don't add lead into the fuel since its bad for people.
Is it safe to use it in a modern day engine?
What will it do like increase mileage on a gal of gas?
Octane is a hydrocarbon of 8 carbons and 18 hydrogen atoms. 87 Octane fuel is 87 Octane molecules (not sure if its the right term). 92 Octane which is usually called Unleaded Premium is supposedly last longer to burn than 87 least that's the theory. An Octane boost is supposed to get the fuel up to 105 Octane which is right around racing fuel level.
