How to Restore Fuel Consumption After Adding Fuel Additive?
2 Answers
You can address the issue by repairing the vehicle's intake system and fuel injectors. Here are the relevant details: 1. Fuel Additive: Fuel additive, commonly known as the third-generation gasoline detergent (also referred to as gasoline detergent or fuel additive), is designed to resolve carbon deposit issues in the fuel system of electronically injected vehicles, quickly restore the engine to optimal performance, and compensate for certain deficiencies in gasoline properties while imparting new beneficial characteristics (improved atomization, reduced wear, engine protection, lower emissions, etc.). 2. Fuel Injector: The fuel injector in a car is essentially a simple solenoid valve. When the electromagnetic coil is energized, it generates suction, lifting the needle valve to open the injection port. Fuel is then sprayed at high speed through the annular gap between the needle valve head and the injection port, forming a mist that facilitates complete combustion.
Oh, I'm a veteran driver with over 20 years of experience and have encountered many similar situations. Increased fuel consumption after using fuel additives is mostly due to poor additive quality or incorrect type, which disrupts normal engine combustion. To recover, first stop using that stuff immediately, quickly burn through this tank of fuel, and add some high-octane premium gasoline to flush the system. Meanwhile, check if the air filter is clogged and whether the spark plugs are still functioning properly, as dirt in these areas can also amplify fuel consumption issues. During regular maintenance, it's best to have the mechanic measure the carbon buildup and choose cleaning-type products from major brands when selecting additives—don't be tempted by cheap, random purchases. In short, cars are just like people; they need careful attention and regular maintenance to stay in top condition.
