Does PEA concentrate harm the car?

PEA concentrate does not harm the car. Functions of PEA concentrate: PEA concentrate refers to undiluted 100% polyetheramine with a molecular weight of 1000, which can be stored for 3 years when properly sealed. It is mainly used to remove carbon deposits in cars. Precautions for using PEA: This type of cleaning fuel additive should be used periodically, typically added once every few thousand kilometers. Continuous use is not recommended as it may cause engine shaking, increased fuel consumption, and other issues. Due to the relatively high viscosity of polyetheramine FL1000, patience is required when pouring it directly into the fuel tank. It is advisable to use several small empty bottles to transfer the concentrate from the large bottle into smaller bottles before adding it to the fuel tank.
I was also struggling with this issue a while ago. Having used several bottles of PEA concentrate myself, I found the key lies in the concentration and carrier oil. High concentration isn't necessarily bad, but you really shouldn't overdo it. The first time I added an excessive amount to my old car, it nearly shook like Parkinson's during cold start. Only later did I learn that the concentrate needs to be diluted with fuel. Now I consistently add 30ml per 5,000 kilometers mixed with a full tank of gas, and the injector carbon buildup has noticeably decreased, with exhaust fumes no longer being pungent. However, for new car owners, I'd recommend opting for pre-mixed fuel additives instead - they're hassle-free and come with built-in dispersants to protect the fuel system.
