Adding gasoline additives to cars is useful. Gasoline additives can increase the octane number of gasoline, making it burn more completely and reducing carbon deposits. This helps maintain the engine's power and fuel consumption, preventing a decrease in engine power and an increase in fuel consumption due to excessive carbon deposits. There are four common types of additives on the market: 1. Cleaning type: suitable for cars with high mileage and older models; 2. Maintenance type: suitable for new cars; 3. Octane number adjustment type: suitable for areas where the gasoline quality is not very good; 4. Comprehensive type: suitable for all vehicles.

However, one critical point must be strictly ensured: whether the engine can properly sink after installing the guard is the most crucial issue. 2. Engine guards are customized protective devices designed for various vehicle models. Their primary purpose is to prevent mud from covering the engine and to protect the engine from damage caused by impacts from uneven road surfaces during driving.

Can Engine Damage Occur After Water Ingestion?

Possibly. After an engine has ingested water and undergone repairs, common subsequent issues include vehicle vibration, reduced power output, and persistent malfunctions. Below are key points regarding engine water ingestion: 1. Hazards: Continued driving with water in the engine may ultimately cause piston seizure within the cylinder. The connecting rod, unable to withstand extreme pressure, may bend or fracture - in severe cases, a broken rod could puncture the cylinder block. 2. Precautions: Not all water-submerged or hydro-locked engines require connecting rod and piston replacement; decisions should be based on actual measurement results.
