How Octane Boosters Work
Octane boosters are compounds that increase the octane rating of gasoline, making it more resistant to engine knock and pre-ignition. These boosters typically contain a mixture of high-octane components such as toluene, xylene, and methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl
(MMT), as well as detergents and stabilizers to keep the fuel system clean.
Octane boosters work by increasing the gasoline’s octane rating through the introduction of high-octane components, which make the fuel more resistant to knocking and pre-ignition. They also contain detergents and stabilizers to help keep the fuel system clean and improve engine performance.
How BOOSTane Works Better
BOOSTane’s anti-knocking agents remain suspended indefinitely in solution, which helps deliver better performance and reliability. Our revolutionary chelated carrier allows for a higher-concentration of anti-knocking agents in the formula, which improves engine performance.
Independent 3rd party testing confirms BOOSTane’s formula is the most reliable, consistent, and highest-performing boosters on the market. Our formulas are designed to be good for the engine, making it a popular choice among drivers who prioritize the health of their vehicle’s engine.

HOW TO USE BOOSTane
- Determine your desired octane boost needed based on your compression ratio with the BOOSTane App, or recommended by your tuner or engine builder.
- Decide your starting octane at the gas pump.
- Follow the BOOSTane Mixing Chart and customize your fuel by mixing the proper ratio to the desired octane.
- Use your BOOSTane App (iOS) for more info on usage.

Useful Tips
Choose the Right Octane Booster
Selecting the right octane booster depends on your specific application. For casual driving, opt for something like BOOSTane Premium that will give the extra kick you need for your daily driver. Racing applications would require a strong octane addive like BOOSTane Pro for optimal performance.
Check Your Engine's Compression Ratio
Check your engine's compression ratio and choose an octane booster that matches the engine's requirements. Higher compression ratios often demand higher octane fuel to avoid knocking and ensure peak performance. Refer to our octane compression ratio chart for guidance.
Store Your Octane Booster Properly
Store your octane booster in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Proper storage helps maintain its effectiveness and prolongs its shelf life. An unopened bottle of BOOSTane has a shelf life of 2 years under the right storage conditions.
Octane Booster FAQs
WHAT ARE OCTANE BOOSTers?
Octane boosters are fuel additives that blend directly into your vehicle’s gas tank to increase the octane rating of your pump fuel. They are necessary if you’re looking to make the most of your vehicle’s performance, while also protecting your engine components and wallet! BOOSTane is the industry leader in octane engineering, setting the standard for fuel additive technology around the world.
WHAT DO OCTANE BOOSTers DO?
Octane boosters are designed to blend with pump fuel to raise the effective octane of your fuel above what is possible to purchase from the gas station. This can be achieved in many ways, but be careful as some products use clever marketing and naming to mislead the consumer into thinking they are achieving an octane level far higher than what it’s capable of.
WHEN SHOULD I USE OCTANE BOOST?
Octane boosting with BOOSTane is perfect for any engine that requires more octane than what is available at the pump, or if race fuel is unavailable/too expensive.
This can be for:
- higher compression engines (Forced Induction or naturally aspirated)
- Tuned vehicles with advanced timing and/or increased boost
- Luxury vehicles with high performing engines from the factory
- 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines
HOW MUCH OCTANE BOOSTER SHOULD I USE?
This is where BOOSTane differs from the competition. Our engineers developed a very specific BOOSTane Mixing Chart and BOOSTane Calculator App for iPhone. These tools will help you figure out your blending ratio and how much to use, as the blend curve is far from linear, and doesn’t require a full bottle (all the time), as some of the competition will lead you to believe.
WILL OCTANE BOOSTER HURT MY ENGINE?
No. If used correctly and blended to the proper ratio, this should not be an issue. Problems occur when people misuse BOOSTane and blend our products like they have with products that can be purchased at a gas station, and over treat their fuel. If the engine is not tuned or capable of taking advantage of that higher octane, it will not run optimally.
WHY IS OCTANE BOOSTER NOT STREET LEGAL?
Octane boosters are often not street legal because they may contain substances that increase emissions beyond acceptable levels. They alter fuel combustion, potentially harming the vehicle's engine and catalytic converter. Regulatory agencies limit their use to maintain air quality and vehicle safety standards. However, BOOSTane Premium, BOOSTane Marine and BOOSTane Shot are all street legal octane boosters.
CAN I USE REGULAR (87) GAS RATHER THAN PREMIUM (90+)?
Absolutely! Sometimes that is all that is available, especially in states where 91 octane is the highest available. Our BOOSTane Mixing Chart shows how to blend to your desired octane regardless of if it is 87 octane or 93.
SHOULD I ADD BOOSTane TO OLD GAS?
Not only can you, but you SHOULD use an octane booster concentrate to treat your old fuel. If you are unable to pump out the old gas, or even if you are unsure a small dose of BOOSTane will help bump the octane of the old gas and restore much of its original capabilities, while adding in benefits such as increased lubricity, stabilization, and detergency that will help your engine. If only treating old gas or poor quality fuel, 0.25oz per gallon is a good place to start. Furthermore, BOOSTane’s proprietary chelated carrier also acts as a great stabilizing agent to fight the phase separation (hygroscopy) that ethanol causes to all of our fuel. Thus acting as a great storage mechanism for prolonged storage of your vehicle.
