Powerful Fuel Additives And Tips On Their Use

By Deborah Stone


The discussion on use of additives on fuels remains about the impact such products will have on its performance, value for money and how genuine the promises made by manufacturers are. Fuel additives are designed to improve performance and increase engine efficiency. We examine whether this is true and whether there are alternatives that one can turn to.

The reason many people will pick an additive without questioning lies in its price. At five dollars or less, you are more likely to try than ignore the product. However, to use or not use is the question. Surprisingly, no one has sold a vehicle for using or failing to use any additive. A spin has been thrown into the debate with the invention of products aimed at reducing emissions.

There are different types of products added to fuel for unique purposes. Do not pick an additive because it is available at the gas station. Research a bit on what your vehicle needs and the response it will give upon the use of a particular additive. Some are used for vehicles that are being packed for some time. You may also buy a specific additive to clear clogging from the engine. Read the instructions for use and be clear on the purpose of use.

An additive that claims to increase fuel economy is the only product you are advised to avoid. The reality is that its price cancels that which you saved at the gas station. It makes it a waste of time and disappointment to buy such a product. Even those that claimed to increase octane rating did not achieve the level of premium grade petrol.

The market also has alternatives that should take your eyes off additives by delivering more value. An example is proper and regular maintenance of the vehicle. In fact, if the vehicle is less than ten years old, there is no reason to add anything to the engine for performance reasons. The engineering of these engines is sufficient to give the results you desire. Other than use an additive, it is advisable that you use high performance petrol.

Gas stations have more efficient fuel, especially the kind used on sport cars. This will deliver the performance you are looking for. It is better because it is not considered as a foreign product. A vehicle that requires an additive for its engine is also too old and will cost you more on other maintenance operations.

Most vehicle owners are concerned about the effect an additive would have on an engine. Experience and research have dispelled all the fear associated with the use of these additions. Engine experts only caution you to verify the quality of product you use on your vehicle. They will affect its lifespan.

You are allowed to use different products at the same time. For instance, you can use a cleaner alongside a product designed to make engines economical. There is no additive that serves as a replacement for engine maintenance. In case you notice reduced efficiency or a problem with your vehicle, you should discontinue the product you are using immediately and seek professional help.
