15% Ethanol gasoline is a reality for many of us in the USA and while modern cars are largely designed to accept and comfortably live with this fuel, old cars are not, especially those with carbs on top of their engines. The major problem is that the Ethanol in the fuel absorbs water and it is also corrosive to things like the bowls and other areas of the fuel system where fuel can sit for periods between drives. We won’t even get into the issues that this fuel causes small engines and other equipment. If you are rebuilding the carb on your kid’s go kart on a regular basis, you know what to blame, the fuel.

Driven Racing Oil has been working on a product that they are set to release called Carb Defender. This is a simple liquid formulation that is added to the tank on every fill up and it works to counteract the destructive forces of the fuel while helping to protect surfaces in the carb, fuel system, and intake tract. Each bottle treats up to 25 gallons of fuel and after you get a look-see at the junky corroded carb pieces below, you’ll be looking into adding some to your tank!

Driven Racing Oil™ Carb Defender™ Fuel Additive

Huntersville, NC – Designed for carbureted classic and performance vehicles, this concentrated additive prevents costly repairs and poor performance resulting from the use of corrosive ethanol-blended pump gas or flex fuels.

Driven’s Carb Defender™ Fuel Additive is specifically formulated to protect against ethanol corrosion and induction deposits. Special corrosion inhibitors work to prevent expensive repairs and diminished performance caused by ethanol-blended pump gasoline and the moisture it attracts. High levels of ethanol dilution in motor oil can lead to rust and other corrosion problems in the fuel system and inside the engine. This new additive, however, controls combustion chamber residue, plus cleans and protects surfaces of the fuel system and intake tract. The additive treats up to 25 gallons of ethanol-blended gas, and should be used with each and every fill-up. Driven Racing Oil™ Carb Defender™ Fuel Additive keeps the carburetor functioning properly and is designed for the unique needs of classic vehicles that spend much of their lives in storage between cruises and special events
