Octane booster

Anyone here used a octane booster? is there any negative effect on our car? I plan on using it not to boost my car or anything like that, but to clean the fuel lines. It says that it will help clean the fuel lines and deposits that might be clogging it. I always put premium gasoline on my car which has a MINIMUM of 95 octane. Is it necessary to use it to clean the fuel system?

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

Will also try that. I research the fuel cleaning and all that stuff and found out that I don't need to use it because the gas I put in my car has Techron additives . So I guess I don't have to worry bout it.
