1. Why Clean Your Fuel System?Deposits build-up in your fuel system and can reduce gas mileage, increase harmful emissions, and make your engine run rough. Cleaning-up these deposits keeps your engine clean, and can increase gas mileage, improve performance, and reduce harmful emissions. 2. What is Additech’s Super Mileage Booster?Additech’s Super Mileage Booster is a unique and patented fuel system cleaner that takes advantage of Additech’s unique at-pump blending capabilities. We refer to this technology as Dual Detergency Protection™. It is comprised of three different chemistries, which together clean-up engine deposits and protect critical fuel system parts:
3. How do I know that the Super Mileage Booster product was accurately dispensed?Additech’s Super Mileage Booster products are dispensed and blended into your gasoline as you fuel. Additech’s patented at-the-pump system is certified by the National Conference of Weights and Measures. The equipment is regularly inspected by local weights and measures representatives. Just like they do with gas pumps, if the inspectors found that any of the units were not dispensing the correct amount of Super Mileage Booster products, they would turn the units offuntil the unit had been repaired and then would come out and re-inspect. So you can be confident that you are receiving the correct amount of Super Mileage Booster each time you buy. 4. How easy is it to use Additech’s Super Mileage Booster products?Additech’s Super Mileage Booster products dispense right at the pump; so they are quick, easy, and convenient to use, making no mess and taking no extra time. Simply select your payment type, choose your Additech product and begin fueling. The charge for the Additech product is simply added as a separate charge to your gasoline total. 5. Why should I use Additech’s Super Mileage Booster products?Super Mileage Booster products increase gas mileage, maintain fuel systems, and restore performance. Automotive manufacturers and mechanics recommend cleaning your fuel system as part of a regular maintenance program, just like changing your oil. Additech makes doing this fast and convenient, right at the pump. Additech’s Super Mileage Booster:
6. How do Super Mileage Booster products work:As engine deposits build-up, they compromise an engine’s operational efficiency by changing the amount of fuel and air being delivered into the combustion chamber, and the air-fuel mixture ratios inside the combustion chamber. Consumers often recognize the symptoms of deposit build-up when their vehicles hesitate, knock, lose power, or suffer a loss in fuel economy. The photos below demonstrate the differences that would be typical between parts where carbon build-up has occurred through normal vehicle operation on gasoline and parts that have been cleaned-up with Additech’s Dual Detergency Protection™. Engine Deposits – Overview: In internal combustion engines, through normal wear and tear, carbon deposits can build-up on an engine’s critical fuel system parts – fuel injectors, intake valves, piston tops, and on the head of the combustion chamber.
Fuel Injector Deposits: Carbon deposits impede port fuel injector (PFI) fuel flow, causing less complete combustion. Electronic injection systems automatically attempt to compensate, resulting in over- and under-injecting, resulting in poor gas mileage and loss of power. Dirty PFI Clean PFI
Intake Valves: Dirty Carbon deposits reduce the fuel and air intake into the combustion chamber. They also insulate the fuel from pre-heating (that normally occurs at the intake valves), resulting in less completely combusted fuel. Dirty Intake Valve Clean Intake Valve
Combustion Chamber Deposits: Combustion chamber deposits are the hardest to remove. Also, the steel-on-steel friction of the piston rings against the combustion chamber walls is a source of significant fuel energy loss. Dirty Clean
Friction Modifier: ADDITECH DUAL DETERGENCY PROTECTION™ - DEMONSTRATED CLEANING PERFORMANCE Additech fuel additives contain a friction modifier, which reduces friction between an engine’s upper cylinder walls and its piston rings (an area that is not lubricated by a vehicle’s crank case lubricants). Depending upon a vehicle’s operating condition and driving characteristics up to 10% of the energy released by combustion is used to overcome the internal frictional losses of the engine. A significant portion of this frictional energy loss occurs in the upper cylinder of the engine – between the piston rings and the upper cylinder walls where very tight part tolerances block crankcase oil from effectively lubricating the upper cylinder. Additech’s friction modifier, delivered in the fuel, helps reduce engine friction and wear, and improve fuel economy.
7. Can you give me an example of how Super Mileage products work to clean up deposits?Four different vehicles were operated for 10,000 miles on Lowest Additive Concentration (LAC) gasoline. Each vehicle was then operated for 300 miles and 1500 miles on gasoline treated with Additech Super Mileage Booster. In the 300 mile clean-up test Additech removed an average of 35% of the intake valve deposits left behind by the LAC gasoline. In the 1500 mile test Additech removed an average of 47% of the intake valve deposits left behind by the LAC gasoline.
8. How soon should I see results when using Additech’s Super Mileage Booster products?Additech’s Super Mileage Booster products start cleaning your fuel system immediately when you start to drive. You should notice the full benefits of improved engine performance within 2 weeks. Individual results will vary depending on driving habits and engine condition. 9. What can I do to get the best gas mileage out of my vehicle?Use Additech Super Mileage Booster regularly and follow these gas mileage tips to get the best gas mileage your car can deliver:

11. Do I need to need to fill up my gas tank completely when using Additech’s Super Mileage Booster products?No, you do not need to fill up your gas tank completely when you buy Additech Super Mileage Booster. 12. How are Additech’s Super Mileage Booster products different from bottled additives?Additech’s Super Mileage Booster products are approximately 3 TIMES more concentrated than most commercially-available after-market fuel additives. 13. Are Additech’s Super Mileage Booster products safe for my vehicle?Additech Super Mileage Booster products are safe for use with gasoline powered vehicles. 14. Do Super Mileage Booster products prevent corrosion from Ethanol in my gasoline?Additech's products do not stop the corrosion from corn gas or other substitute gas but they do help keep vital engine parts cleaned and lubricated including intake valves, fuel injectors and pistons. A clean engine runs better and lasts longer. 15. Why does my vehicle need fuel additives?It is not a fuel system cleaner's presence in fuel that improves performance of an engine. Rather it is the cleaning effects of high concentrations of detergent fuel system cleaners that remove engine deposits that hurt performance. Additech's products (provided by Afton are added at high concentrations to remove deposit build-ups. Engine deposits will vary with some vehicles having more deposit build-up than others depending upon your driving habits, the vehicle's age and last time its fuel system was cleaned, the type of driving (highway versus city) you perform, and the type of fuel system your car has. Thus, the benefits of detergent fuel system cleaners will vary with these factors. With a fuel system clean-up some vehicles will show improvements in performance, others will not. You can think of fuel system maintenance as another vehicle maintenance item that is good for your car's health, similarly to changing your oil, or power steering fluid, or radiator coolant. You may not notice the difference in your car's performance after an oil change, but there is a difference and the preventive maintenance is important in maintaining good performance and engine health. There is currently a movement in the automotive industry to require more detergent fuel system cleaners in gasoline.
