Scotty, who has 54 years of experience in the motor industry, advised drivers to use a fuel cleaner to keep their car running like a dream even when it gets a little older.
All you have to do is pick up some regular fuel cleaner and a plastic funnel and add the whole bottle to an almost full tank.
When you run a car over many years, deposits of chemicals found in fuel begin to build up in the fuel system, which can cause clogging and even erosion.
Cleaning additives help to remove these deposits and can also prevent new ones from forming, helping the vehicle run better.
According to Scotty this can double the life of your vehicle and wear and tear on the engine is significantly reduced.
Not only that, but it also improves your fuel economy and car’s performance.
This means that a full tank goes further, saving you money each time you hit the pumps.
Overall, between the savings on fuel and protection against expensive repair bills, the trick can see you save thousands over the years.
Scotty said: “It smells like turpentine but it sure works.”
Social media commenters loved the useful tip.
The owner of the car Scotty was demonstrating on said: “I’m happy to say that the additive actually did some real good for the car.
“It’s starting up a lot better than it was before and I couldn’t be happier.”
Another added: “So much fun to watch Scotty at work.”
It comes after a motors expert explained how to demist your windscreen – and why wiping it is dangerous.
Meanwhile, it was announced that the UK’s largest motorway services will continue to build ultra-rapid EV chargers despite the watering down of net zero policy yesterday.
