Fuel additives are primarily used to enhance the quality performance of petroleum fuels in terms of fuel consumption feature and to stand against the negative effects of certain elements in fuels such as sulfur, vanadium and sodium. They can also function as:

- A detergent of engine valves, fuel injection parts and also as a corrosion inhibitor in a fuel system.

- An Octane/Cetin booster to improve combustion efficiency and to eliminate incompletely burnt chemicals and also to improve yield.
