Are there any fuel additives that I should use?

Indmar Marine Engines

Can I convert my car to run on E-85 fuel?

Iogen Corporation
It is too impractical and costly to do after-factory conversions of gasoline fueled vehicles to E-85 vehicles. Since the combustion of ethanol and gasoline is different, different engine electronic systems are required, and need to be installed at the time of manufacture.

What engine oil or fuel additives should I use and why?

Herguth - Frequently Asked Questions
Modern engine oils and fuels are carefully formulated to offer the best possible performance over a wide range of operating condition. There are occasions where an additive not contained in the oil or fuel will improve performance in one respect or another. However, there are also additives that will cause harm to the system. If aftermarket additives are used they should be thoroughly tested and offer more proof of performance than simple testimonial letters or anecdotal evidence.

But my engine manufacturer does not recommend the use of fuel additives. Why?

PRI-D, PRI-G - FAQ'S @ Survival Unlimited .com - Fuel stabil...
Given the fact that literally thousands of fuel additives are offered on the market, engine manufacturers have no way of monitoring or testing the claims of so many products - making it difficult to determine specific products that are safe to use. However, PRI chemistry does not alter any fuel specifications issued by engine manufacturers - specifications by which manufacturers judge whether or not a particular fuel affects safe engine operation.

What kind of additives can I run in a fuel cell?

Fuel Safe Racing Cells
Most fuel additives are ok to run in your fuel cell if they are not left in the cell for extended periods of time. If left in the cell for a long period of time, the additives can separate from the fuel and attack the bladder. If you are going to use additives, use them only when necessary and refill your cell with regular fuel before storing.

How is EnviroFuels DFC different than diesel fuel additives?

Envirofuels LLC | Products
EnviroFuels DFC is based on patented technology that is verified by the U.S. EPA. Additives include alcohols, cetane enhancers, simple detergents, or solutions containing heavy metals. Many products available might improve performance in one area while degrading performance in a different area.

How will a K&N filter affect my vehicle’s fuel economy?

FAQs
There is a relationship between air filter restriction and mileage. The theory behind this is simple, the harder an engine has to work to suck air through the intake tubes and air filter, the more gas gets wasted in the process. Replacing a dirty or clogged air filter is one of many recommendations the U.S. Department of Transportation suggests for improving fuel economy (see http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/FEG2007.pdf).
