Wynns Spitfire Octane Boost

Wynn's Spitfire Octane Boost is an exclusively formulated double-duty nonleaded fuel additive for petrol engines that increases the octane number of any grade of petrol used, and provides valve seat recession protection. Octane Boost will overcome these engine knocking problems with whatever grade of petrol is used unleaded (ULP), premium unleaded (PULP) or lead replacement (LRP).

Petrol engine pinging causes severe damage to an engine. Prolonged pinging and detonation can cause loss of power, poor fuel economy, engine overheating, and worst of all, severe engine damage such as hammered bearings or melted pistons. One cannot always tell that a vehicle is suffering pinging or detonation. Inaudible detonation can be impossible to detect by ear. Dynameters tests show that inaudible detonations will cause loss of horsepower and loss of ring sealing. These problems became obvious when super leaded petrol had its octane rating reduced as a result of intense lobbying by community groups to have the lead levels lowered. Also these problems are not limited to leaded petrol. Many later model cars running on either unleaded or premium unleaded fuel suffer both audible and inaudible detonation.

Late model cars with knock sensors can retard their spark advance and inject additional petrol to suppress detonation, but this reduces power and increases fuel consumption. Wynn's Spitfire Octane Boost will overcome these engine knocking problems with whatever grade of petrol is used - unleaded (ULP), premium unleaded (PULP) or lead replacement (LRP). Lead was more than an octane enhancer, it was a lubricant too. And when that lubricating protection was part of every tank-full of leaded petrol, most passenger vehicles were engineered with “softer” less wear-resistant valve-seats. Today, many of those older "lead-age" cars are still on the road. But with the loss of lead lubrication, their exhaust valves can stick to the valve seating - pulling away small metal particles that oxidize and, in turn, wear away more and more of the seating every time the valve closes.

Wear of the valve seating - or valve-seat recession (VSR) can lead to increased exhaust emissions, poor idling, and a loss of power. And since precise valve-to-seat contact is needed for proper valve cooling, VSR can also result in valve burning and in rare cases, - catastrophic engine failure.

The potential for VSR increases with smaller engines running at higher speeds. So as more of the fast-paced world makes the change to unleaded petrols, Wynn's Spitfire Octane Boost is the smart solution to deliver both high-octane performance and valveseat recession protection.

To test the effectiveness of Wynn's Spitfire Octane Boost on Research Octane Number (RON), various grades of petrol were treated at different dose rates. The untreated and treated grades of petrol were evaluated and tested to the Standard ASTM D 2699.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION Toxicology Information Acute (MMT) Oral LD50 50 mg/kg bw (rat) Dermal LD50 140 mg/kg bw (rabbit) Inhalation LC50 220-247 mg/m³ bw (rat, 1 hour); >2-76 mg/m³ (rat,4 hour) Repeat Dose (MMT) NOAEL (inhalation) 6.2 mg/ m³ (rats and mice) Acute Health Effects Ingestion Ingestion of this material may cause vomiting. Aspiration into the lungs during ingestion or vomiting can result in severe pulmonary damage. Very toxic in animals by the oral route. Inhalation Inhalation of vapours or mist may cause mild irritation to the upper respiratory tract. High level exposure may result in central nervous system depression. Very toxic in animals via inhalation. Eye May cause irritation to eyes. Skin May cause irritation to skin. Prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of skin. Acute toxicity studies in rats, rabbits and mice have shown MMT to induce damage to the lungs, kidney, liver and spleen effects, tremors, convulsions, dyspnea and weakness. In humans, the acute affects of MMT by skin or inhalation exposure are reported to be burning of the skin, a metallic taste in the mouth, "thick tongue", giddiness, headache, nausea, chest tightness, gastrointestinal upset, laboured breathing and abnormal sensation. Chronic Health Effects There are no human case reports or studies detailing symptoms resulting from prolonged exposure to MMT. However, at chronic low doses of MMT, neurological and psychological disturbances may occur due to exposure to manganese. Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT), which is known to be toxic by inhalation, ingestion and skin absorption. MMT may affect the lungs, kidney, liver, brain and central nervous system. Inhalation may cause headaches, dizziness and nausea. Kidney damage may result following aspiration pneumonitis. Ingestion In rats and mice, repeated oral exposure was associated with weight loss and mild neurological and developmental effects. Inhalation In rats and mice, repeated exposure via inhalation was associated with severe weight loss and death with degenerative changes in the lungs, liver and kidney. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Ecotoxicity Environmental Data MMT is subject to rapid photochemical degradation in the atmosphere with a reported atmospheric half-life of 8-18 seconds. MMT can adsorb to and become immobilised in soils reducing its potential for photo-degradation. Degradation of MMT in dark, anaerobic aqueous environments is slow. Aquatic Toxicity MMT is toxic to aquatic organisms. Daphnia Magna (4 and 48 hour EC50) 0.87 mg/L and 0.83 mg/L respectively. Bluegill sunfish TLm (LC50) (12 h) 0.2 mg/L.
