Is Fuel Additive Effective?
1 Answers
It is effective, but only if it is a genuine product and used scientifically. Authentic fuel additives, when added according to standardized methods, can effectively reduce fuel consumption and decrease harmful substances in exhaust emissions. The lack of effectiveness may be due to purchasing counterfeit products or improper usage. Below is relevant information: 1. Function: Fuel detergents have a cleaning effect on gasoline, helping to maintain engine cleanliness, prevent and remove carbon deposits inside the engine. Some can also increase lubrication and reduce particulate matter and harmful substances in exhaust emissions. Genuine fuel additives consist of many effective components, including detergents and rust inhibitors, whereas counterfeit fuel additives may contain unknown substances or lack rust inhibitors, potentially causing engine corrosion. Once corrosion occurs, the entire engine and intake system can suffer severe problems. 2. Effectiveness: Although fuel additives are effective, they must be used scientifically and reasonably. The amount added should be based on the vehicle's fuel tank capacity and the recommended ratio. During use, the speed of addition varies depending on the vehicle's condition. If the vehicle has accumulated tens of thousands of kilometers without using a detergent, extra caution is needed when adding it initially. A cleaning-type additive should be used, and it should not be added too quickly, as deposits accumulate gradually over time.
