Cerma Ceramic Fuel Treatment — STM-3 Nano Silicon Carbide 6-in-1 Fuel System Protection
Cerma STM-3® Ceramic Fuel Treatment is the only fuel treatment that uses Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC) technology to deliver 6-in-1 fuel system protection. It cleans injectors, lubricates the upper engine with ceramic particles, removes water, boosts octane, prevents fuel gelling, and conditions your entire fuel system — all in one bottle.
Unlike solvent-based fuel additives like Sea Foam or Techron that only dissolve deposits, Cerma's SiC particles release the lubrication trapped inside fuel molecules, providing continuous ceramic protection that no conventional fuel treatment can match.
✅ 6 Functions in One Bottle
- Cleans fuel injectors and removes carbon deposits — ceramic-enhanced cleaning action
- Lubricates the upper engine — SiC particles coat upper cylinders, fuel pump, and injectors (areas motor oil doesn't reach)
- Removes water and moisture — pulls water from the fuel system to prevent corrosion and fuel line freezing
- Boosts octane — naturally improves combustion quality
- Prevents fuel gelling — anti-gelling properties keep fuel flowing in cold weather
- Conditions entire fuel system — ongoing ceramic protection for fuel pump, tank, lines, and injectors
💡 Why Cerma is different: Traditional fuel treatments do 1–2 of these things. Cerma does all 6 because of its Nano Silicon Carbide ceramic technology. One product replaces the need for separate cleaners, lubricants, water removers, octane boosters, and cold weather additives.
📋 How to Use
Dosage: 1 oz per 40 gallons of fuel. Add 1 oz for each additional 40 gallons.
- First use: Fill up on at least a half-empty tank. Add Cerma Fuel Treatment, then fill with fuel
- Ongoing use: Add at every fill-up, weekly, or monthly — whatever schedule fits your driving habits
Cerma Fuel Treatment is a continuous-use product — unlike Cerma Engine Treatment (one-time), you add it regularly for ongoing fuel system protection. Drivers who use it at every fill-up report the best results.

🔬 The Science: Nano Silicon Carbide (SiC)
Silicon Carbide is one of the hardest compounds on earth — Mohs hardness 9.5 (just below diamond) with a melting point of 2,730°C. When suspended in Cerma's fuel treatment at the nanoscale, SiC particles release the lubrication trapped inside fuel molecules and coat the upper engine, fuel pump, injectors, and fuel lines with ceramic protection that conventional solvents cannot provide.
Cerma Fuel Treatment is also a non-Newtonian dilatant fluid — it provides more protection under higher stress. When your engine works harder, the treatment works harder. Learn about non-Newtonian fluids →
🔗 Complete Engine Protection
Cerma Fuel Treatment protects from the fuel side. Pair it with these products for total engine coverage:
- Cerma STM-3 Engine Treatment — one-time ceramic protection from the oil side ($105.60 for all gas engines)
- Cerma Transmission Treatment — one-time ceramic protection for automatic/manual transmissions ($70.40)
- Cerma Synthetic Motor Oil — SiC-enhanced oil with 15,000-mile change intervals
- Cerma Blue Ice A/C Treatment — ceramic protection for your A/C compressor
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I use Cerma Fuel Treatment?
Cerma Fuel Treatment is a continuous-use product. Add 1oz per 40 gallons of fuel at every fill-up, weekly, or monthly — whatever schedule works for you. Unlike Cerma Engine Treatment (one-time), the fuel treatment is added regularly for ongoing cleaning, lubrication, and protection of the fuel system.
What is the dosage ratio?
1 oz of Cerma Fuel Treatment per 40 gallons of fuel. For larger tanks, add 1 oz for each additional 40 gallons. For your first use, fill up on at least a half-empty tank, add treatment, then fill with fuel.
Is this better than Sea Foam or Techron?
Sea Foam and Techron are solvent-based cleaners that perform 1–2 functions (cleaning and/or stabilizing). Cerma STM-3 Fuel Treatment performs 6 functions using Nano Silicon Carbide ceramic technology: cleaning, lubricating, water removal, octane boost, anti-gelling, and fuel system conditioning. No other fuel treatment uses SiC technology. See the full comparison →
Can I use this with Cerma Engine Treatment?
Yes — and it's recommended. Cerma Engine Treatment permanently bonds ceramic to internal engine surfaces from the oil side (one-time). Cerma Fuel Treatment continuously protects the fuel system and upper engine from the fuel side. Together, they provide complete ceramic protection for every metal surface in your engine.
Does Cerma Fuel Treatment work in diesel engines?
This product is formulated for gasoline engines. For diesel engines, use Cerma Diesel Fuel Treatment, which has the same STM-3 SiC technology specifically formulated for diesel fuel systems.
Which size should I buy?
Start with the 2oz intro dose ($10.95) to try it on your next fill-up. For ongoing use, the 16oz bottle ($70.44) is the best value — it treats approximately 640 gallons of fuel, roughly 6 months of fill-ups for the average driver. Fleet operators should consider the 1-gallon or 5-gallon options.
Does it work as an octane booster?
Yes. Cerma Fuel Treatment naturally improves combustion quality and acts as an octane booster — one of the 6 functions included in the SiC ceramic formula. You don't need a separate octane booster product when using Cerma.
Will it prevent fuel gelling in winter?
Yes. Cerma Fuel Treatment has anti-gelling properties that keep fuel flowing in cold weather. This is one of the 6 functions built into the SiC ceramic formula — no separate anti-gel additive needed.
