Gasoline additives
A major concern among many auto manufactur
ers is carbon deposit build-up caused by the type
of gasoline you use .
A lthough gasoline grades dif fer from one manu
facturer to another, they have certain things in
common. All gaso line grades contain substances
that can cause deposits to collect on v ita l eng ine
parts, such as fue l injectors and intake valves. Al
though most gasoline brands include additives to
keep eng ine and fuel systems clean, they a re not
equa lly effective .
Aud i recommends using TOP TIER Detergent Gas
oline . For more i nformation on TOP TIER Deter
gent Gasoline, please go to the official website (www.toptiergas .com) .
After an extended period of using inadequate
fue ls, built -up carbon depos its can rob your en
g ine of peak performance .
