💡 Why WD-40 and DIY Additives Are a Terrible Idea:
WD-40 is great for freeing rusty bolts and displacing water, but it’s not made for combustion. It contains aliphatic hydrocarbons, mineral oils, and lubricants, none designed to burn cleanly in your engine. Adding it can foul your oxygen sensors, damage your catalytic converter (often £800+ to replace), and clog your DPF (£2,000+ replacements).
Modern engines rely on precise fuel-air ratios, complex sensors, and tight tolerances. Unlike old carburettor engines from 40 years ago, today’s fuel injection systems will not handle these homebrew additives safely. While you might see a temporary illusion of improvement, the long-term damage is real and expensive.
⚠️ What Happens If You Add WD-40 or Random Additives:
✅ Sensors become fouled, giving wrong fuel readings
✅ Catalytic converters and DPFs get clogged with unburnt residues
✅ Fuel injectors and pumps can fail from incompatible chemicals
✅ Engine can suffer poor running, rough idle, and misfires
✅ Long-term fuel efficiency drops, not improves
🛠️ Why Manufacturers Don’t Use These “Magic” Ingredients:
Fuel companies spend millions refining fuels for maximum clean power extraction. If WD-40 or nail polish remover worked safely, it would already be blended in your fuel. Don’t risk thousands in repair bills for the promise of a 1–2% MPG improvement that rarely materialises.
🔥 Real Maintenance Tips for Better MPG:
✅ Keep tyres at correct pressure
✅ Use quality fuels with proper additive packages
✅ Service your engine regularly with manufacturer-approved oil
✅ Avoid carrying unnecessary weight in your car
✅ Drive smoothly to reduce fuel consumption
These proven, safe, and effective methods are your best route to real, long-term savings.
