For many of you drivers out there the fact that you service your car on time and use the best engine oil seems enough to keep your engine healthy and running fine for your intended years of ownership. Well, it is not all that simple. Not just good engine oil and regular servicing is needed. You need to also use the best fuel to keep that engine free from corrosion and carbon deposits (better known as gunk).
Engine performance can be affected in a number of ways, from rust and corrosion of metal parts to excess friction in the upper cylinder. But one of the most common causes of performance loss is fuel. Even high-quality fuel can leave behind carbon deposits that build up on key engine parts, eating away at performance. And each engine part affects that performance loss in a different way, from reduced horsepower to poor fuel economy.
Gunk or carbon deposits can build up on intake valves and fuel injectors and can make your engine work less efficiently. It is just like the human heart. If you eat fatty foods and don’t exercise, gunk collects on the walls of your hearts arteries and your heart pump rate slows down as more ‘gunk’ collects along the walls, which in turn slows you down.
Corrosion is caused by moisture and other contaminants that can make their way into your car’s fuel tank. It can impact the vehicle’s fuel pump, fuel lines and fuel injectors. Furthermore, formation of particles from corrosive processes, such as rusting of steel surfaces, can contribute to the blockage of fuel filters, impacting the overall smooth operation of your car.
So, what is the solution? Well, you do not need to visit your mechanic or spend a lot of money to fix this problem.
Just fuel up your car with only Shell V-Power which has additives inside that is able to protect your engine against gunk and corrosion by actively cleaning the engine from gunky engine deposits and forming a protective layer on metal surfaces, helping to prevent the corrosion of fuel system components ultimately delivering more power to the vehicle.
Simple right? Just use Shell V-Power from today and feel the difference in every drive you take.
