Car Q&A: Gas additives

Print Comment
By Junior Damato

Q: Gasoline today contains 10 percent ethanol, which is one form of alcohol. We all use it now. Does this alcohol content mean that we no longer need to use “dry gas” additives, these things being one kind of alcohol or other?

A: I would not recommend any gas additive at all. There is enough alcohol in the gas we all use today. There are no cleaners that will clean injectors that go into the gas tank. If any of the professional cleaner entered the gas tank it would destroy the coating and the fuel pump along with the filter.
