Do Cars Need Fuel Additives?
1 Answers
Cars do not necessarily require fuel additives, but adding them can benefit the engine. Fuel additives effectively remove carbon deposits inside the engine by attaching to the pores of the deposits and breaking them down for elimination. This is particularly useful for turbocharged engines, which tend to accumulate significant carbon deposits over time. In such cases, using a cleaning-type fuel additive becomes necessary. Fuel additives are automotive chemicals designed to address carbon deposit issues in the fuel system of fuel-injected vehicles, quickly restoring the engine to its ideal operating condition. They also compensate for certain deficiencies in gasoline, providing it with new beneficial properties such as improved atomization, reduced wear, engine protection, and lower emissions.
