With prices elevated over the last few months, fuel has become a major topic of conversation for drivers once more. It is in this situation that fuel additives come to the fore. Along with aiding efficiency, using the right additives can help drivers avoid problems in the first place, by helping to prevent system degradation and the build-up of unhelpful deposits. This can help to put the case for fuel additives.

This was confirmed on the Lucas Oil stand at the 2023 Classic Motor Show, held at the NEC in November. Jon Murden, Chief Executive of the National Motor Museum, said: “This new partnership is a sound investment for both the Museum and its magnificent collection of motor cars, motorcycles and vans.” Dan Morgan, Sales and Operations director of Lucas Oil, commented “The agreement recognises that using additives to protect such a high profile fleet offers many practical benefits.” 36 AFTERMARKET DECEMBER/JANUARY 2024 FUEL SYSTEM AND CLEANERS www.aftermarketonline.net Financial Director Nia Lloyd-Williams added: “We hope that the partnership will go on to provide many mutual benefits at many more shows and other motor industry events in the future.” Effect If you see some fuel-system related problems in the workshop, there are a number of ways to deal with these.
