OCTANIUM®

Octanium® is an octane concentrate
that increases the octane rating of gasoline up
to 8 numbers. This is the largest increase of any
octane booster on the market, where many products in this category claim octane increases in
“points” or don’t quantify the expected increase
at all. A point is simply 1/10th of an octane number; meaning Octanium’s 8-number increase is
equivalent to 80 points. Increasing octane permits
tuning adjustments to generate more power and
improve throttle response and acceleration. Octanium cleans fuel injectors, eliminates gum
and varnish build-up, and eliminates engine
knock. One 32oz bottle of Octanium treats up
to 10 gallons. It is designed for vehicles used in
racing off-road or on the track and is not legal
for street use. MSRP $21.95
