What Are Fuel Additives? Benefits, Uses & How They Work

Your vehicle’s engine works hard every time you drive. Every litre of petrol or diesel goes through the fuel system, combustion process, and engine components. Over time, regular driving can expose these components to deposits, moisture, oxidation, and other factors that may affect engine performance.

This is where fuel additives can become part of regular vehicle maintenance.

BORCCO Fuel Treatments are designed to support fuel system and engine performance by helping protect critical components and maintain smoother operation.

What Is a Fuel Additive?

A fuel additive is a specially formulated product that is added to petrol or diesel in a specific dosage.

Depending on the formulation, fuel additives can be designed for different purposes such as:

• Supporting fuel system protection

• Maintaining engine performance

• Supporting smoother engine operation

• Helping reduce the impact of deposits

• Improving fuel-system maintenance

• Providing additional protection during regular driving

The important thing is to use the right additive, in the right quantity, for the right type of fuel.

Why Does Your Vehicle Need Fuel Protection?

Modern engines are designed to operate efficiently, but they are exposed to demanding conditions every day.

Repeated short trips, traffic, long-distance driving, varying fuel quality, heat, and normal engine operation can all place stress on the fuel system.

Regular fuel-system care can help you maintain your vehicle over the long term.

A fuel treatment can be used as part of a preventive maintenance routine rather than waiting until noticeable performance issues appear.

How BORCCO Fuel Treatment Works

BORCCO Fuel Treatment is designed to be mixed with petrol or diesel at the recommended dosage.

The treatment becomes part of the fuel as it passes through the vehicle's fuel system and combustion process.

BORCCO focuses on three core principles:

POWER

Support consistent engine performance during everyday driving.

PERFORMANCE

Help maintain smooth and efficient engine operation.

PROTECTION

Provide additional protection for the fuel system and engine as part of regular maintenance.

BORCCO Petrol Fuel Treatment

For petrol-powered vehicles, BORCCO Petrol Fuel Treatment is designed for use with petrol.

The recommended dosage is:

1 ml BORCCO Petrol Fuel Treatment per 1 litre of petrol.

For example:

• 10 litres petrol → 10 ml treatment

• 20 litres petrol → 20 ml treatment

• 40 litres petrol → 40 ml treatment

• 50 litres petrol → 50 ml treatment

For maintenance, the treatment can be repeated according to the recommended usage interval.

For the best results, add the recommended quantity before refuelling so the treatment can mix with the fuel.

BORCCO Diesel Fuel Treatment

Diesel engines have different fuel-system requirements from petrol engines.

BORCCO Diesel Fuel Treatment is designed specifically for diesel fuel applications.

The recommended dosage is:

1 ml BORCCO Diesel Fuel Treatment per 1 litre of diesel.

For example:

• 20 litres diesel → 20 ml treatment

• 40 litres diesel → 40 ml treatment

• 60 litres diesel → 60 ml treatment

• 100 litres diesel → 100 ml treatment

Using the correct dosage is important. More product does not necessarily mean better performance.

When Should You Use a Fuel Additive?

Fuel treatment is best considered as part of regular vehicle maintenance.

You may consider using a fuel additive when:

• You drive frequently in city traffic

• Your vehicle is used for daily commuting

• You regularly take long-distance trips

• Your vehicle spends long periods in traffic

• You want to add fuel-system protection to your maintenance routine

• You want to maintain consistent engine performance

Always follow the product's recommended dosage and application instructions.

Fuel Additive vs. Regular Engine Maintenance

A fuel additive should not replace regular vehicle servicing.

Oil changes, air-filter replacement, spark-plug or glow-plug checks, tyre maintenance, and other manufacturer-recommended service intervals are still important.

Think of a fuel treatment as an additional maintenance step, not a replacement for professional servicing.

How Often Should You Use BORCCO Fuel Treatment?

The recommended maintenance interval depends on the product and application.

For BORCCO fuel treatments, follow the dosage and maintenance instructions provided for the specific product.

Using the correct quantity consistently is more important than simply adding more product.
