How Many Kilometers Should You Add a Bottle of Fuel Additive
2 Answers
Fuel additive can be added every 1,000 kilometers. Here is an introduction to fuel additives: What it is: It is designed to compensate for certain deficiencies in gasoline and impart new beneficial properties to it. Cleaning the fuel system: The cleaning agent active factor in gasoline additives helps remove harmful substances such as gum deposits in fuel and carbon buildup in the engine. Engine performance: High-quality gasoline, under high temperatures, enables secondary atomization of fuel, enhancing engine power. Reducing wear: The cleaning, antioxidant, and lubricating effects of gasoline additives significantly improve the removal of carbon deposits and gum, noticeably reducing engine wear and noise. Improving atomization: Secondary atomization promotes complete combustion, increases thermal efficiency, and reduces fuel consumption.
In my daily driving, I've found that the frequency of adding fuel system cleaner mainly depends on driving habits and vehicle condition. For example, the older car I drive often operates in congested areas where the engine is prone to carbon buildup, so I add one bottle every 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers to clean the fuel injectors and intake valves. Now the car runs much smoother and is more fuel-efficient. However, if the road conditions are good or for new cars frequently driving on highways, extending to one bottle every 10,000 kilometers is fine. But don't blindly follow trends—pay attention to actual effects. If there's noticeable shaking during startup or increased fuel consumption, it might be a reminder to add more. Also, choosing reputable brand additives is safer and more reliable.
