By the time its a noticable orange film, it's normally conductive ie. forms a suitable current path to ground instead of allowing a spark across the plug gap under boost/high loadLachlan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean octane booster as an additive in the fuel, or octane booster the driver adds to the fuel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
