Is it necessary to add fuel tank cleaner?
1 Answers
It is necessary to add fuel tank cleaner, especially when the car has been used for a certain period of time. The fuel tank cleaner ensures that the fuel quality is not affected by dirt generated in the tank, thereby reducing carbon deposits in the engine, which is a maintenance practice. Gasoline cleaner is a commonly used fuel additive in the market today. It is mixed with automotive gasoline and ignited, relying on its surface activity to help dissolve and break down deposits, remove carbon buildup, and thus perform a cleaning function. The engine gets cleaned, improving fuel efficiency, making fuel combustion more sufficient, saving fuel consumption to a certain extent, enhancing power, and reducing the emission of exhaust pollutants. Additive cleaning involves directly adding the cleaner into the fuel tank to mix with the fuel. When the vehicle is started, the cleaner enters the combustion chamber along with the fuel. As the cleaner enters the combustion chamber, it cleans the carbon deposits inside the engine to a certain extent. Other methods for cleaning carbon deposits are as follows: Drip cleaning: Drip cleaning, also known as no-disassembly cleaning, is a cleaning method currently promoted by 4S shops. This method uses a drip bottle to introduce the cleaner into the engine's intake pipe, where it is sucked into the engine combustion chamber along with the intake airflow. During this process, the cleaner cleans the carbon deposits in the engine's intake tract and combustion chamber. Disassembly cleaning: Disassembly cleaning involves removing parts of the engine with carbon deposits for cleaning. Although this method provides the best cleaning effect, due to the heavy workload and time-consuming nature, most 4S shops do not offer disassembly cleaning services.
