Kerosene is an aviation fuel that is hardly ever used for automobile engines. However, old school drivers add small amounts of kerosene to the gas tank. They believe this contributes to better engine performance.
Capabilities of kerosene for cleaning injectors and fuel system
Even when using the highest quality and most reliable fuel, over time, deposits form on the engine injectors, as a result of which injection problems begin, which ultimately leads to a decrease in engine power and a significant increase in fuel consumption, and this requires serious repairs. On the auto chemistry market, there are a variety of special chemical compositions for the necessary cleaning of injectors and the fuel system as a whole.
However, the price for this specialized chemistry is very high, and the budget of not every motorist allows such costs. In most cases, the owners have no choice but to accept such an outcome. As a result, the car will no longer provide the required power, which ultimately leads to engine overhaul and high material costs. But such a composition can be prepared independently, without spending a large amount on it, but using only acetone and kerosene.
For the manufacture of the necessary cleaning nozzle, the composition is used: three hundred milliliters of aviation kerosene and fifty milliliters of acetone. Both components are proportionally mixed and added approximately forty liters of gasoline to the tank. Such preventive actions will be sufficient to prevent contamination of the fuel system and to clean the injectors at the same time. This will improve the condition of the engine and help avoid expensive power unit repairs.
In addition to the low cost, the mixture of aviation kerosene and acetone is safe, and the composition "binds" the water in the tank, which subsequently relieves car owners from the need for mechanical cleaning of the tank. It is imperative to take into account the mass fraction of such chemistry, then the use of such a tool will be safe and effective.
Engine cleaning intervals
Experts recommend using aviation kerosene to clean the fuel system once a year. This helps to prevent problems associated with rare earth spraying of engine cylinders, and also removes all kinds of contamination and deposits on the elements of the injection system. The best time of the year for such work is autumn; before the frost hits, this also solves the problem with water that accumulates in the tank.
The use of aviation kerosene is the prevention of the formation of various contaminants and deposits on the elements of the fuel system. Car owners need to keep this in mind and use it periodically.
