Rocket Fuel Octane Booster - $2.20 each
This 1 oz
tube of additive boosts the octane rating of a tank of gas 4-7 points.
Compatible with both fuel injection systems, Carburetors and their lines.
Requires no mixture adjustment. Protects valves and seats. Will not harm
gaskets or o-rings. Rocket Fuel provides a more complete and thorough
burn of fuel mixture to release full torque and power, while providing
protection to internal head components by seeking out hot spots and adhering
to them. Variations in gasoline, atmosphere, mechanical components, and
operation will result in a difference of effectiveness.
Q&A:
1. Does
this stuff really work?
I've been using on the street
in a variety of bikes, and my "seat of the pants" feel is yes,
it makes a difference. Have I quantified it on a dyno? No. It works particularly
well on gas that has sat in the tank for several months.
2. Does
my Ducati really need it?
Ducatis aren't prone to predetonation
- the cause of pinging - because they don't have high compression pistons.
However, if you've been running 86-87 octane and want to see what a difference
there is compared to 93-94 octane, drop in a tube of Rocket Fuel. Some
motorcycles will see no benefit at all, while others will notice immediate
improvement. Therefore, I recommend you use only as needed. When you get
bad gas - put it in. I keep a tube of Rocket Fuel (and a Tums) in my tankbag
in case I get a dose of bad gas when on the road.
3. Will
Rocket Fuel harm my engine.
The verbiage on the label says
no. I've been using it periodically to no ill effect. I haven't tested
it for hundreds of thousands of miles.
4. Can I
get my money back if I don't like it?
Yes, I will refund your $2.2,
and charge you $5 to mail the refund back to you. :-)
5.
Will Rocket Fuel make me faster?
Probably not, but it won't
make you any slower either.
