Difference between Oilsyn Diesel Race DNA, Oilsyn Hybrogen and Archoil AR6900-D

by Andy Published on Wednesday, August 3rd, 2022

Please note that this article has been updated. Fuel additive science is not definite. There are too many influencing factors and different requirements to produce the “ultimate additive” that universally works for all. What may work well on one engine does not guarantee success on another. This presents the need for different technologies to help […]

Using Fuel Additives at Higher Dosages - Overdosing

by Andy Published on Friday, March 13th, 2015

I am regularly asked whether fuel additives can be added at a higher dose or added to less fuel to make a more potent concentrate and whether this is more beneficial. The answer in most cases is no.

Frequently we are asked about fuel-based carbon cleaners. Specifically, what happens to carbon deposits that are removed through the use of fuel cleaners, and can these cleaners damage an engine?

The existing definition of “burn rate modifier” and the phrase “lowers burn rate by up to 400 degrees” has caused confusion. In simple terms, a catalyst facilitates a better burn of […]

Do Fuel and Oil Additives Really Work?

by Andy Published on Thursday, May 30th, 2013

Firstly, we need to understand what is meant by “work” as there are conflicting ideas and interpretations. Some would consider “work” to improve performance or increase mpg, whereas others would consider “work” to clean the fuel system, restore fuel injector efficiency or reduce friction. Others would consider a product to have “worked” if it resolved […]

by Andy Published on Monday, May 20th, 2013

I am often asked how and when fuel additives should be added. With an empty or full tank of fuel? Should I wait until it’s down to a quarter of a tank? Etc. The reality is that it doesn’t matter how much fuel is currently in the tank. The key is to ensure that regardless […]
