Chemical Additives - Octane Boosters, Fuel Sustem Cleaner

Hellow Everyone!!!!!!!!!!

I have a question about chemical additives - Octane Booster,

Fuel System Cleaners, Injector Cleaners, Oil performance additives.. Etc.

Is it really good to use them, any negative impact?

If you used any of them please share your experience...

Thanks!!!

Generally there is no need for any of them.

IMHO

Octane Booster - is water. Here in Slovenia we have a lot of it in pertol sold on gas stations.

Fuel System Cleaners, Injector Cleaners - is white spirit ususaly mixed with diesel fuel. Ultrasound injector cleaning is better.

Oil performance additives - used something from that on my lawn mower with B&S engine. Engine seezed at the end of the year. So no thanks.


At the end: as David C said.

No. need for them. Especially on an Alfa.

Do not add anything to the Oil for sure.
