A good variety of fuel additives is available in the
market. They are compatible with both diesel and petrol. The question is if
they are worth your spending. Will they produce a positive impact on your car’s
performance without burning a hole in your pocket? Let’s find it out.

Do additives improve mileage?
There are reports that additives improve mileage while
using a standard base fuel instead of costly diesel fuels which are usually
pre-loaded with different additives. It has been seen that additives make a
positive impact on BTU or British Thermal Unit that leads to improved performance
and mileage per tank. However, is it a cost-excellent choice to buy additive
and use it along with diesel or will you be able to save more by opting for
expensive high quality diesel containing additives?

The only option for you to find it out is to consider the
price for a fuel tank containing standard diesel in respect of performance
diesel plus additives. Which one is likely to cost you more? Then consider the cost
of the additives. How many diesel tanks would be covered by it? Split it across
the tanks and then add it to base fuel price and you are done with price
comparison. It also makes sense if it is taken into account how much actual
mileage you will be getting from every standard tank with addition of additives
compared to the performance diesel having pre-added additives.

Do additives clean engine & are more
environment-friendly?
environment-friendly?
The disadvantage of using diesel fuel is it builds up
carbon deposits in different parts of car engine, particularly in the diesel
injector. Additives help reduce the deposits, thereby ensuring a much improved
fuel flow that could contribute to maintenance of original fuel efficiency of
car engine. Additives could also lead to a near complete combustion in your car
engine and that would result into lower emission and a ‘cleaner’ vehicle.

In some cases, fuel additives help your car pick up MPG
and performance while using base diesel. However, if you use performance diesel,
that too will earn you the same effect. If you are using an excellent diesel
additive on an old engine, it will remove carbon deposits and help your car
performance.
