Science

Better performance doesn’t start on a track, it starts in a test tube. The internal combustion engine is a complex piece of machinery, and the formulas that clean and maintain it need to react in specific ways to keep it performing properly. In short, when better science goes into a product, better performance comes out.

Performance

The Science Behind Better Performance

All internal combustion engines suffer from the same problem. They need fuel to generate power. But the more fuel they burn, the more damaging carbon deposits they create. Fuel additives help fight that damage by removing carbon deposits and eliminating corrosion from ethanol and water. This helps restore lost performance and extend engine life. How well they work depends on both the quality and quantity of the ingredients.

Gumout® fuel and oil additives are scientifically formulated using the most potent ingredients available, like PEA (polyether-amine). A potent nitrogen-based detergent, that cleans engine parts that other, less robust detergents can’t. Gumout also uses stronger concentrations of ingredients to ensure their effectiveness and rigorously tests every formula to meet tough performance and safety standards.

Performance and the Fuel System

Performance depends on every part of your fuel system working together at peak efficiency, including the fuel itself.

Putting performance to the test

In science, nothing is more important than reproducible results. Formulas need to work consistently, in a variety of conditions, to be considered successful.
