Why use Fuel Additives for Marine Engines?
Fuel additives for gasoline or diesel marine engines can significantly reduce fuel consumption and maintenance costs and extend marine engine life. Typically there is no difference between fuel used onboard your vessel and fuels used in the automotive industry. Yet marine engines operate at much higher RPMs and loads than car or truck engines. Detergents and performance additives built into the automotive fuels are typically not effective enough to maintain a clean fuel source free of deposits and prevent premature wear on marine engines. Using the appropriate quality fuel additives will provide the performance and engine protection marine engines need. Fuel contaminants and deposits will reduce power. Sediments constrict fuel flow, clog filters, and score piston linings. This problem is aggravated at sea. Rougher seas work against the engine; the motion will slosh particles from the tank bottom into the fuel pickup. Heavy conditions are the most likely times for a dirty fuel problem t
