Fuel treatment(might be the right word?).
There has been a few threads about water in fuel, have anyone heard/tried/tested any of these water-mix-into-fuel-and-cleans-everything(don't know the correct english name for it) chemicals? Fuel treatment might be the right word.
I keep coming across threads when searching where people have good things to say about fuel and oil treatment, but I'm still not convinced. |

Not had one that worked to disperse water in the Tank.
The One we use at work does improve carbon build up on petrol systems. A diffrent formuler Works wonders in diesel's.

Re: Fuel treatment(might be the right word?).
If you're trying to get water out of a tank of fuel, I'd say get the fuel out too and buy some more.

Re: Fuel treatment(might be the right word?).
I don't have trouble with water, it's just a thought if it acctually works.
So if you're on a long roadtrip you can have a small bottle of fueltreatment under the pillion seat next to the bottle(s) of oil and chain spray, and call yourself Justin Case On the other end of the scale some high performance tuning does use water injection to make an engine run cleaner and cooler, it also does something with the detonation if your your running high comp, think it also helps against knock if you run high octane can't remember all the details, maybe I'll get around to searching it up again. |

"Water Bome"Helps cool the induction charge.So helps with detonation.
Old Vauxhall Manta Couretny turbo used that system. Most cars now use big intercoolers and engine managment . The water vapour also slows the spped of the flame front helping detination and Nox emmisions.

Re: Fuel treatment(might be the right word?).
Never use any aftermarket OIL additives. Use a decent oil in the first place and it will have all the additives you need. Some of the snake-oil additives are positively nasty (those consisting of principally chlorinated paraffins, very impressive anti-scuff demonstrations but turn into hydrochloric acid when heated in an engine, 1930's technology abandoned by the industry. Very cheap to make so attractive to flog).
Fuel additives can sometimes be a help in certain circumstances. IPA will help to keep water contamination from messing everything up (but won't solve everything!), but you shouldn't be getting the water there in the first place, so sort out the real problem first.
