carb cleaner & octane boost
is it safe to put a Carb cleaner in the gas tank and an octane booster in the same tank of gas?

Yea its safe. They are there to do two completly different things. The Carb cleaner adds a solvent to your gas to wash away some of the deposits and varnish that forms in the carb over time. While the Octan booster adds a few points to the octane rating of your fuel by one of many ways. Though with your 2.8 I think you probably don't need to much Octane booster.
