The Functions and Effects of Fuel Additives?
2 Answers
Fuel additives, commonly known as the third generation of gasoline detergents (also referred to as gasoline detergents or fuel additives), are designed to address carbon deposit issues in the fuel system of fuel-injected vehicles, quickly restore the engine to optimal working condition, and compensate for certain deficiencies in gasoline properties while imparting new beneficial characteristics (such as improving atomization, reducing wear, protecting the engine, and lowering emissions). Fuel additives are high-threshold technical products with relatively high costs and per-bottle prices, making them a hotspot for numerous low-quality and even counterfeit products. Using counterfeit products not only fails to clear carbon deposits and maintain the engine but may also cause damage to the engine. Therefore, it is essential to purchase them from official channels.
When my car had poor acceleration before, I tried adding fuel additive, and it seemed quite effective. This stuff mainly cleans the carbon deposits inside the engine, like in the fuel injectors and intake valves, which get clogged over time due to carbon buildup. After cleaning, the throttle feels noticeably lighter, and the RPM rises faster. It also helps the gasoline burn more completely, allowing you to drive a few extra kilometers on the same amount of fuel, and the exhaust fumes aren’t as pungent. I use a well-known brand, adding one bottle every 5,000 kilometers along with regular maintenance, and the car stays in good condition. Just be careful not to buy counterfeit products—some off-brand additives can actually harm the engine.
