AnswerI have used Gumout Octane Booster for about 6 months now. I drive an '89 Ford Ranger. Before the booster, it would knock and ping at the bottom of lower gears. It would stall whenever it felt like it. About 10 miles into the first tank of booster, I noticed a dramatic improvement. Hesitation is lower, no more stalling and idle is smooth. No more knocks and pings. It costs me under $2 per bottle. I use 1 for every tank of gas and I went from 17 to 24 MPG. That is not an exaggeration. I tally the MPG at EVERY fill-up. AnswerYes, they work to an extent. But, let it be known, if you are looking for a "magic bullet" to fix knocks and pings, I would look elsewhere. You could have a more serious problem somewhere within your engine causing the knock. If an Octane Booster "solves" your problem (knock/pinging) - then definitely take your car to a decent mechanic for further diagnosis.Also, consider, a growing number of vehicles on the road today actually "require" or "recommend" higher octane fuels. Check your vehicle's owner manual. It may be possible you've been using "Regular" unleaded, but you should actually be used "Mid Grade" or Supreme gasoline. So yea, if this is the case (your car requires Mid Grade gasoline, but you've been using only regular) - that could be the source of the knock and ping you experience.
Gumout Octane Booster contains mostly JP5, which is used in the US Navy as fuel for aircraft, and really cleans fuel systems well. The improvement you felt was most likely a cleaner fuel system as well as cleaner injectors.

Is it safe yes, but why do so, a desent bottle of octane booster will cost you 4 bucks, I rather spend that money on better gas. Most octane booster contain 110 octane which honstly I'd buy 94 or 93 octane. If you are talking about fuel injector cleaner, yes that's safe too.

Why does 1997 Ford Explorer hesitates to accelerate?
I had the same problem with my '97 Eddie Bauer Explorer. As simple as it sounds, I fixed the problem with a bottle of Gumout High Mileage fuel system cleaner, which I mixed with 92 octane gas. I then refilled with high octane at least one tank out of every four. After 3000 miles, I ran a second bottle of the gumout through the tank. No hesitation whatsoever in the engine any more.
What is an octane booster and what does it do?
