Can gasoline additives really clean up carbon deposits? What is the actual effect?

Gasoline additives have a certain effect of removing carbon deposits, but only relatively; There are many gasoline additives on the market that can cure all diseases. Of course, they are all in the field and scope of propaganda. In fact, they are full of loopholes and cannot stand scrutiny. Many years ago, I was also keen on fuel treasure for a while, so I gave up and never used it again for so many years. Generally speaking, fuel treasure removes car owners' psychological carbon deposits, but its effect on engines is very limited.

First of all, it should be clear that fuel additives are added to the fuel tank to mix with gasoline. In other words, all the active ingredients are concentrated in the fuel, and fuel treasure follows the fuel. Only where fuel can reach, fuel treasure has room to play, and where fuel can't reach, neither can fuel treasure. In this way, we can first judge that there are some positions in the engine that fuel treasure can't reach, and naturally there will be no cleaning effect!

The problem of carbon deposition is inherent in engines. There is no need to demonize carbon deposits. Carbon deposition itself will not cause damage to the engine. The essence of damage lies in the excessive accumulation of carbon deposits. For the excessive accumulation of carbon deposits, it is useless to use any burning treasure. It is recommended to open the cylinder for treatment.

In the cognition of most friends, carbon deposition is only produced by the combustion of gasoline and engine oil; But in fact, some impurities in the air accumulate at the intake end of the vehicle, which will gradually form deposits, but generally speaking, this part is not pure carbide, but it is deposits after all;

Secondly, some components in the fuel additive (fuel treasure) will lead to the increase of carbon deposit, especially in fuel treasure, where the octane number is mainly increased. The quality is uneven, and some low-end products are easy to add iron and manganese metal additives, which is very harmful to the engine! Secondly, there are some impurities and metal additives in the engine oil. These components will be exposed after the engine oil is burned, so it is meaningless to clean these metal salts with clean fuel treasure!

As for the components of clean fuel treasure, try not to use additives containing this PIBA component, especially now that ethanol gasoline is about to be fully promoted, the use of clean fuel treasure with PIBA component will aggravate the generation of carbon deposition and coking. Moreover, some high-grade gasoline produced by several barrels of oil now adds a part of PIBA to the gasoline, which is also a last resort to deal with environmental protection, so there is no shortage of clean substances in our gasoline;

Therefore, even if a friend adds detergent, there is no need to add detergent containing PIBA. Because of the high concentration of PIBA, carbon deposition will still occur in intake valve, combustion chamber, fuel nozzle and other parts. Simply put, it is the way to generate while cleaning, but the amount generated is inversely proportional to the amount removed! As for the pea component, fuel treasure can use it, at least it won't bring any problems to the car, but the fuel treasure price of this component is very expensive; A principle to be adhered to when using fuel treasure is to use big brands, and those small brands on the Internet that can cure all diseases have problems.
