Gas additives have many different uses. Some are designed to clean your fuel system, some provide a boost in the octane value of the gasoline, some help with rust and corrosion prevention or water removal, some will help extend the life of gas when it is in storage.
Can fuel injector cleaner cause problems?
Yes, fuel injector cleaner can actually cause engine issues. Some fuel cleaners may contain chemicals that should not be used with modern engines. A good quality additive will clean away carbon deposits to prevent fuel delivery problems while a poor quality product may just break them free allowing them to move through your fuel system potentially damaging expensive components.

Many people think that fuel additives can improve their gas mileage, but the EPA has tested 14 different versions of chemical cleaners and none have been shown to be effective. The U.S Environmental Protection Agency tests a variety of these chemicals on cars in laboratory settings, giving them an A through F grade based off this test’s success rate at improving car performance or saving gas consumption in real-world driving conditions.
Can fuel additives increase horsepower?
One way to boost the performance of your engine is by using a fuel additive. Fuel additives can increase torque, horsepower and fuel economy for virtually any car or truck. Unlike expensive turbochargers, they are relatively cheap and may actually save you money with increased miles per gallon on every tankful of gas that goes into your vehicle
The best part about these one-time investments in time savings? You get all this without having to spend thousands more than what it would cost if you were going after big improvements like installing an upgraded exhaust system which also needs accompanying modifications such as additional engine programming on some vehicles.

Benefits of Additives When Storing Gas
Gasoline contains ethanol which will eventually form gum deposits at cold temperatures. This can cause hesitation in acceleration when you start up the vehicle on those chilly mornings.
Condensation may form in the gas tank from overnight cooling causing your engine to run rough until it warms up.
If possible, store gasoline indoors with adequate ventilation or in another location that will provide some shelter from harsh environmental conditions like extreme heat or cold (but not inside a garage). This preserves the best condition for storage and ensures there won’t be any issues during start up next year when winter rolls around again!
Gas additives are put into the fuel to prevent corrosion and rust from forming in your gas can. Preventing moisture buildup in gas will prevent ice forming in the can during extreme cold and will insure that the gas doesn’t cause engine damage when used.
