Is Fuel System Cleaner Effective?

Effective. Below is expanded information about fuel additives: Carbon deposit removal: Cleans the fuel system. The cleaning activation factors in new-generation fuel additives promote the removal of harmful substances like gum deposits in fuel and engine carbon deposits. After adding fuel additives continuously for 5 times, carbon deposits on the exhaust pipe are significantly reduced, and components like the filter, exhaust valve, and fuel system become very clean. Enhanced power performance: The nano-components in new-generation fuel additives can absorb and encapsulate gum deposits, generating gaseous "micro-explosions" in the combustion chamber under high temperatures, causing secondary atomization of fuel and inducing complete combustion, thereby improving engine power. Over 90% of vehicles show noticeable power enhancement after first-time use of fuel additives. The effect is particularly obvious when the car feels sluggish, is old, under heavy load, or on long trips.
I've been driving for twenty years and often use fuel system cleaners, the effects are real. Last time my old Ford had trouble starting and was making rumbling noises after 100,000 kilometers, it improved a lot after adding a bottle, the engine ran smoother and fuel consumption decreased slightly. The cleaner can dissolve carbon deposits and keep the fuel system cleaner, but it's not some miracle product—it's useless for brand-new cars, and overuse can damage components. It's best to add it every 10,000 kilometers or so, choose a reputable brand and don't go for the cheapest option. City drivers who use their cars frequently might find it helps with minor issues, but major problems still require professional repair. Just remember to follow the recommended dosage and don't overuse it—it's useful for routine maintenance.
