How Many Types of Fuel Additives Are There?

[LeAva]

There are three types of fuel additives: maintenance-type fuel additives, cleaning-type fuel additives, and fuel combustion enhancers. The functions of fuel additives are to compensate for certain deficiencies in fuel properties and impart new beneficial characteristics to the fuel. These are functional substances added to fuel in trace amounts. Fuel additives are typically added to the fuel tank when the fuel is nearly or completely depleted, before refueling. The additive is added first, followed by fuel to ensure even mixing. It is essential to add the fuel additive before refueling because adding it after refueling may result in uneven mixing with the fuel, potentially reducing the additive's intended effectiveness.
