• Gasoline additives are added to improve engine performance, reduce emissions, and protect the engine. They include:
• Octane Boosters: These increase the fuel's octane rating, helping to prevent knocking and improve engine performance.
  
• Detergents: Help to clean the fuel injectors and intake valves, preventing carbon buildup, which can reduce engine efficiency.
  
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Protect the fuel system and engine from rust and corrosion, especially in humid or coastal areas.
  
• Fuel Stabilizers: Keep gasoline fresh for longer periods, reducing the formation of gums and varnishes that can clog fuel systems.
  
• Antioxidants: Prevent the oxidation of gasoline, which can lead to the formation of harmful deposits.
  
• Water Removers: These additives help separate and remove moisture from gasoline, which can cause engine misfires and damage.

2. LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) Additives

LPG is commonly used in vehicles and appliances as a cleaner alternative to gasoline or diesel. LPG additives typically serve to:

• Lubrication Enhancers: LPG burns cleaner but provides less lubrication for the engine, so additives are used to reduce wear and tear on engine components, particularly valves and injectors.
• Anti-Icing Agents: Prevent the formation of ice or frost that can block the fuel lines during low temperatures.
• Anti-Corrosion Additives: Protect the fuel system from corrosion caused by moisture or impurities in the LPG.
• Octane Boosters: Like gasoline, LPG may use octane-boosting additives to optimize combustion in engines that require higher compression ratios.
• Detergents: These help to clean and maintain the fuel system, ensuring optimal performance.

3. CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) Additives

CNG is considered a cleaner alternative fuel for internal combustion engines, primarily used in buses, trucks, and some cars. CNG additives generally focus on:

• Fuel System Cleaners: CNG can cause carbon deposits, so additives help to clean the fuel injectors and combustion chambers.
• Lubricants: Some CNG vehicles may require additional lubricants to ensure smooth operation of the fuel system components.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Like LPG, CNG systems also require protection against rust and corrosion, particularly in moist environments.
• Anti-foaming Agents: These prevent fuel from foaming, which could interfere with the engine's ability to draw in the correct fuel amount.
• Combustion Improvers: Enhance the efficiency of the combustion process in CNG engines, ensuring maximum power and minimum emissions.
