Thanks for the link.

I read the whole page and no mention of red plugs. Unless I missed something.

Have you run some type of octane booster? I have seen cases where that will leave a red residue on plugs.

Yes I have. I thought I had heard that before but wasn't sure if I was remembering correctly.

I believe I ran some 104+ back in October.

Mine are red too. Never used any additives. Its just from the additives the gas has in it out of the pump. Gas has a lot of additives in it, especially in the winter time.
