Product Information

Full details

The Driven Racing Oil Carb Defender Fuel Additive is for owners of carburettor race engines seeking to protect their fuel systems. Its key benefit is safeguarding against corrosion caused by ethanol fuels and controlling combustion residue. A potential caveat is that it is specifically formulated for race engines and may not be necessary for daily drivers. This additive cleans and protects all fuel system surfaces from the tank to the intake, preventing ethanol-induced corrosion and managing residue buildup.

Troubleshooting

No noticeable improvement in fuel system cleanliness.

Ensure the correct dosage was used and that the fuel system was thoroughly mixed. Allow sufficient operating time for the additive to circulate and clean components. Results may be gradual.

Additive appears cloudy or separated.

This may indicate exposure to extreme temperatures or prolonged storage. While potentially still functional, it is best to contact the manufacturer for specific guidance if the appearance is significantly altered.

Difficulty in ensuring full fuel system protection.

The additive is designed to mix with fuel and circulate. Ensure consistent fuel usage and consider running the engine for a short period after adding to ensure all components are coated.
