How Much Fuel Additive Should Be Added at One Time?
3 Answers
For the first use of fuel additive, add 2 bottles, and subsequently add 1 bottle. For new cars with a mileage of less than 20,000 kilometers, it is unnecessary to add fuel additive. For vehicles exceeding 20,000 kilometers, fuel additive should be added as needed. The role of fuel additive: The role of fuel additive is to solve the carbon deposit problem in the fuel system of fuel injection models, quickly restore the optimal working condition of the engine, and compensate for certain deficiencies in gasoline properties, giving gasoline some new excellent characteristics, such as improving atomization, reducing wear, protecting the engine, and lowering emissions. Precautions for adding fuel additive: Currently, the common fuel tank capacity for small family cars in the market is 35-45L, medium-sized cars around 55-75L, and large or luxury cars around 75-100L. The common specification of fuel additive is 60ML, and usually, 60ML can be mixed with 30-60L of gasoline. Therefore, a common family car typically requires 1-2 bottles of fuel additive per tank of fuel. The specific number of bottles to be added should be determined based on the specific situation of the car.
When adding fuel system cleaner, I usually follow the bottle instructions. Most brands recommend pouring one 60ml bottle into the tank before filling up with gasoline. I mainly use it to clean carbon deposits in the engine for more complete combustion and better fuel efficiency. The exact amount depends on tank capacity: for a 50-liter tank, use one bottle. Never overdose - I once tried adding an extra bottle and it actually increased fuel consumption and caused engine vibration. It's best to add it before refueling, then fill up normally to mix it thoroughly. Don't use it too frequently either - I add it every 5,000km, which provides maintenance without wasting money. Always follow the product guidelines and avoid improvising.
I don't have much driving experience. When I first learned about fuel additives being able to clean fuel systems, I wasn't sure how much to use. After checking information and consulting experienced drivers, I learned that typically one 60ml bottle treats a 50-liter tank of fuel. Now I buy standard-sized products, open them to pour into an empty tank, then fill up with gasoline and mix well. This helps prevent fuel injector clogging. Personally, I think it's better not to use too much - just follow the instructions on the bottle. With long-term use, I've noticed the car starts faster and has less carbon buildup. I'd recommend beginners try small amounts first to confirm no issues before regular use.
