Default Hypothetical question

NO, i dont plan on doing this!!




If i were to run my tank empty, and put in 8 gallons of octane booster/fuel injector cleaner, what would happen to the engine after I start driving, if anything.

Thanks

I have no idea why you would want to fill up on fuel injector cleaner , but octane booster will do nothing if you engine can't utilize the higher octane. You would either need very high compression or FI along with a tune to utilize it. It would be like dumping race gas into a toyota prius, it won't do much except lighten your wallet.

I doubt it would even start or run, both of those fluids are designed to be seriously diluted.

Just that! That is why this question is so intriguing to me

In 4th gear, you would hit lightspeed and the girl in the passenger seat would call you a "scoundrel".

You should ask that on bootlegger-s2ki.com. I hear they run 'shine all the time.
