Cerma Ceramic Fuel Treatment for Gasoline Engines

Yes. Cerma Fuel Treatment is safe for all GDI engines — common in modern Ford EcoBoost, GM LT/LS, Hyundai/Kia Theta, Mazda Skyactiv-G, and most European turbo gasoline engines. GDI engines are prone to intake valve carbon buildup because fuel never touches the intake valves to clean them. While Cerma Fuel Treatment is primarily added to the fuel tank and cleans components the fuel touches directly (injectors, fuel pump, cylinders), the ceramic lubrication extends to cylinder walls and combustion chambers — helping reduce the carbon accumulation cycle that causes rough idle and misfires. For severe existing carbon buildup, a professional intake valve walnut-blast service is still recommended.

Yes. Cerma Fuel Treatment is compatible with all approved gasoline blends including standard unleaded, E10 (10% ethanol), E15 (15% ethanol), and E85 (flex-fuel vehicles). Ethanol blends actually benefit more from Cerma's water-removal function — ethanol is hygroscopic (attracts moisture), which causes phase separation and fuel system corrosion. The ceramic lubrication also compensates for ethanol's lower natural lubricity compared to pure gasoline, protecting fuel pumps in flex-fuel vehicles that run on variable ethanol percentages.

Yes — classic and carbureted vehicles often benefit the most. Older engines were designed for leaded gasoline and higher-lubricity fuel. Today's ethanol-blended unleaded gas is hard on vintage fuel systems, causing corrosion of brass/zinc carburetor components, rubber fuel line degradation, and water contamination in tanks that sit during off-seasons. Cerma Fuel Treatment addresses all of these: removes water, lubricates upper engine (compensating for leaded-fuel heritage), and conditions the fuel system. Safe for all carburetor materials, fuel pump designs, and vintage rubber/seal compounds.

Yes. Cerma Fuel Treatment is completely safe for catalytic converters, oxygen sensors, mass airflow sensors, and all emissions components. The SiC particles interact with fuel system metal surfaces only (injectors, fuel pump, cylinders) — they do not leave residue in exhaust streams and do not coat downstream emissions components. Many fuel additives with heavy solvent packages can foul O2 sensors; Cerma's ceramic-based chemistry avoids this risk.

Cerma Fuel Treatment adds ceramic lubrication and 6-in-1 protection that top-tier gas does not provide. Top-tier gasoline (brands meeting the Top Tier Detergent Gasoline standard) contains higher detergent levels than minimum EPA requirements, which helps keep injectors clean. Cerma goes further — adding SiC ceramic lubrication to the upper engine, water removal, and anti-gelling properties. You can use Cerma with any fuel grade (top-tier or regular), and it's often more cost-effective than paying the top-tier premium over many fill-ups. Using Cerma with regular fuel typically gives better protection than top-tier fuel alone.

Yes. Cerma Fuel Treatment works in all gasoline small engines: lawn mowers (walk-behind and riding), string trimmers, leaf blowers, chainsaws, pressure washers, portable generators, standby generators (gas), snowblowers, and power tools. Small engines especially benefit from Cerma because they often sit for long periods between use — Cerma's water removal and fuel stabilization properties help prevent the gummed-up carburetor issues that plague small engines after off-season storage. For a gallon of gasoline, the dose is approximately a capful.

Yes — Cerma Fuel Treatment is ideal for motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles, personal watercraft (jet skis), and other 4-stroke gasoline powersports. These vehicles are especially vulnerable to fuel quality issues because they often sit for weeks or months between use. Cerma keeps fuel fresh, prevents water contamination, and provides ceramic lubrication that's especially valuable for high-RPM motorcycle engines and sustained-load UTV/snowmobile engines. For 2-stroke powersports (some older motorcycles, some jet skis, older snowmobiles), call 239-344-9861 for application guidance.

Water removal starts immediately after adding Cerma to a fuel tank — the formula pulls water out of suspension so it can be processed through the fuel/water separator (if equipped) or burned through the engine at safe levels over the next few fill-ups. For moderate water contamination (common after storage or from condensation), one full treatment cycle is typically sufficient. For severe water contamination (standing water in the tank, phase separation from ethanol), the tank should be drained by a mechanic before using Cerma — Cerma supports fuel system health but is not a substitute for proper water removal in an emergency.
