P.i. Performance Improver Concentrate

AMSOIL P.i. improved fuel economy
by reducing port fuel injector deposits,
intake valve deposits and combustion
chamber deposits in 100% of the
vehicles tested!
Untreated Fuel Leads to Poor
Engine Performance
A vehicle demonstrates its best efficiency and engine per-
formance when it is new. As the engine ages, its per-
formance suffers from gasoline-generated deposits that
form on the fuel injectors, intake valves and combustion
chamber. Additives are required to control deposit for-
mation. Today’s fuels, however, lack sufficient treatments
of either enough additives or high-quality additives.
Fuel system deposits result in the following:
• Lost fuel economy
• Lost power and poor throttle response
injectors. During this “hot soak”
period the injectors heat up and the
gasoline remaining in the injectors
degrades and forms deposits. This
can happen very quickly with the
use of poor-quality gasoline and
short-trip driving. Because the clearances within the
injectors are extremely tight and injectors must deliver
precise amounts of atomized fuel, even small amounts
of deposits can cause injectors to malfunction. Fuel flow
is reduced and spray patterns are disrupted, decreas-
ing engine efficiency, power and fuel economy, while
increasing exhaust emissions.
