Where to Add Fuel Additive?
2 Answers
Fuel additive is added into the fuel tank. Below is additional information: 1. The role of fuel additive: Once added, the fuel additive will quickly dissolve fully under the impact and vortex stirring of the fuel, ensuring a more uniform mixture of the additive and fuel. Gasoline-type fuel additives are added to the fuel tank for use with gasoline, while diesel-type fuel additives are added to the fuel tank for use with diesel. The two should not be confused or used interchangeably. 2. The most economical method: For the first use, continuously add the additive three to five times, each time following the proportion specified in the instructions. After driving approximately 3,000 to 5,000 kilometers (varies depending on road conditions and fuel quality), continuously add the additive another three to five times. Repeating this cycle is considered appropriate.
Just pour the fuel additive directly into the car's fuel tank. I was confused when I first started driving too, but later learned to do it before refueling: when about 1/4 of the tank remains, open the fuel cap, pour in the fuel additive bottle according to the instructions – usually one small bottle corresponds to a full tank of gasoline, then immediately add gasoline to mix it thoroughly. Don't pour it into the engine oil port or coolant cap, as that can clog the system and cause malfunctions. Make sure the engine is off and the car is parked on level ground when doing this, use a small funnel to prevent spills, the liquid is a bit pungent. After adding it, drive for a while; it can clean engine carbon deposits and improve acceleration. My old car runs much smoother now. But don't use it every day; beginners are advised to use it every 5,000 kilometers, choosing reputable brands like Shell or Castrol. Safety first, washing hands is basic, don't smoke or be near fire sources, a simple thing can save you from repair troubles.
