Is it necessary to add gasoline additive?
1 Answers
Whether it is necessary to add gasoline additive depends on the condition of the vehicle. From the perspective of a new car, it is not necessary because the first maintenance will be carried out after the running-in period, and there is no need to add such products; from the perspective of an old car, it is necessary, but it does not need to be added frequently, as regular maintenance is sufficient for the vehicle. During the process of gasoline being supplied to the combustion chamber through the fuel system for combustion, it is inevitable that gum and carbon deposits will form, depositing in the fuel passages, fuel filter, injectors, and combustion chamber, affecting fuel flow, disrupting the normal air-fuel ratio, causing poor fuel atomization, and leading to performance issues such as engine shuddering, knocking, unstable idling, and poor acceleration. Therefore, adding additive periodically also has benefits. Gasoline additive can improve combustion efficiency and reduce fuel consumption. Gasoline additive can produce tiny nano-clusters during combustion, which detonate before or during combustion, generating vapor with a cleaning effect. It helps decompose and break down deposits in the combustion chamber, controls the formation of carbon deposits, keeps the combustion chamber cleaner, ensures more complete combustion, and helps maintain the engine in optimal condition. Gasoline additive can also form a protective film on the fuel system and engine cylinder surfaces, providing protection to reduce corrosion and damage caused by low-quality gasoline to the engine and fuel system.
