Is Fuel Additive Effective?

[SanAriel]

Fuel additives do not have significant effects. Here is a detailed introduction about them: 1. Fuel additives are divided into two types: cleaning type and maintenance type. When carbon deposits have already formed in the car's engine, the cleaning type can be used to remove them. Fuel additives can break down the chemical structure of carbon deposits, dissolving the carbon from the metal surface and expelling it through the exhaust. The maintenance type, on the other hand, inhibits the formation of carbon deposits, preventing carbon from depositing on the metal surface, thereby achieving the effect of preventing carbon buildup and naturally improving fuel quality. 2. Excessive use of fuel additives may damage the three-way catalytic converter and harm other components. Generally, new cars do not need fuel additives at all. For cars that have traveled 5,000-10,000 kilometers, using a maintenance type once is sufficient.
