Can Fuel Additive Be Poured Directly into the Fuel Tank?
2 Answers
Fuel additive can be poured directly into the fuel tank. Here is some relevant information about fuel additives: 1. Introduction: Fuel additive, commonly known as the third generation of gasoline detergent (also referred to as gasoline detergent or fuel additive), is designed to address carbon deposit issues in the fuel system of fuel-injected vehicles, quickly restore the engine to optimal working condition, and compensate for certain deficiencies in gasoline properties while imparting new beneficial characteristics (such as improving atomization, reducing wear, protecting the engine, and lowering emissions). 2. Purchasing: Fuel additives are highly technical products with high barriers to entry, resulting in higher costs and per-bottle prices. Consequently, the market is flooded with many low-quality products and even counterfeit ones. Using counterfeit products not only fails to remove carbon deposits and maintain the engine but may also cause damage to the engine. Therefore, it is essential to purchase from official channels, such as physical specialty stores, online flagship stores, and authorized 4S stores.
Sure thing! I always pour the fuel additive into the tank before refueling, as it helps it mix better with the gasoline. However, my driving instructor specifically warned me: never overfill! If the tank is almost full and you force more in, it might overflow. Also, be careful with static electricity when opening the fuel cap—especially in dry weather, it's best to touch the car's metal body to discharge any static. The mechanics at the auto shop told me to look for certification marks on the bottle when choosing a fuel additive, as some off-brand products can actually damage the fuel system. For an older car like mine, using it does make the throttle feel a bit more responsive.
