Why do I need fuel additives?

Fuel additive specialist XSNano Fuel Savers – Lubrication Solutions P/L explains why fuel additives are imperative for your vehicle and the environment.

Engineering in fuels and lubricants has gone through the molecular engineering stage to the new nano engineering field. (A nano is one millionth of a molecule.)

Some new fuel additives and lubricants were developed in China with a specific goal set. Scientists were given the task to create a product that would reduce pollution and reduce fuel consumption. Two of the biggest problems facing China today are pollution from vehicle emissions and the shortage of fuel oil.

New nano technology applied to fuel can increase the burn rate of fuel, thus reducing up to 98 per cent of exhaust emissions and providing more power and better fuel economy by as much as 28 per cent.

Over the past decades the automobile industry, oil companies and government have also been trying to reduce emissions without reducing fuel consumption. After all who would design a new product that would reduce sales? And governments rely heavily on fuel tax in their budgets.

Products were removed or dramatically reduced in fuel and oils to reduce emissions, the most obvious being the lead from petrol and sulfur from diesel.

Catalytic converters and selective catalytic reduction systems were then introduced to the after burn on engines to further reduce emissions and burn off carbon.

But unfortunately the zinc dithiophosphate (ZDDP) – which is one of the main lubricants in oil – was destroying the catalytic converters, so it too was removed or reduced from most oils.

Walk into any auto spares shop and see the vast array of oils on the market and several different oils from each company. You need a university degree to work out which oil is still suitable (or most effective) for the particular engine you have.

Bottom line is:

• You need to be adding your own lubricant back into fuel and oil.
• Fuel additives not only can add lubricant back to your fuel and oil, but will also reduce the amount of fuel you use.
• We need to promote the use of approved fuel additives especially with rising cost of fuel and increased fuel taxes, so spread the word.
• Some fuel additives can give up to 28 per cent better fuel economy, reduce up to 98 per cent emissions and increase power up to 34 per cent. It can save you a lot of money. So give them a try yourself.
• Remember. You can't change the price of fuel, but you can change the amount of fuel you use.
