With fuel prices and supply pressures continuing to impact motorists, Cataclean is urging garages and workshops to support customers with practical, preventative maintenance solutions that help protect fuel economy, reduce emissions and improve MOT pass rates.
Recent market volatility has increased the cost burden on drivers across the UK, placing greater focus on vehicle efficiency and preventative maintenance. In this climate, workshops have a valuable opportunity to help customers get more from every tank of fuel.
Cataclean’s 8-in-1 Fuel and Exhaust System Cleaner is specifically designed to tackle one of the most common causes of poor fuel economy and emissions failures: carbon, resin and gum build-up throughout the fuel and exhaust system. Over time, these deposits accumulate naturally through combustion and are often worsened by short journeys, idling and stop-start traffic, leading to reduced MPG, poor performance and higher emissions.
What differentiates Cataclean is its dual-action pre- and post-combustion cleaning process. Added directly to the fuel tank, the product is carried with the fuel through the system, helping to remove deposits from fuel lines, injectors and the combustion chamber before ignition. During combustion, Cataclean then creates an acidic vapour containing carboxylic acids, which travels through the exhaust system to help clean oxygen sensors, EGR valves, catalytic converters and DPFs.
This full-system cleaning action helps restore efficient combustion and exhaust gas flow, supporting improved fuel economy, smoother performance and lower emissions – all increasingly important as customers look to offset rising running costs.
For workshops, this creates a simple no-additional-labour upsell opportunity during routine servicing, seasonal checks and pre-MOT inspections.
Maddie Bamber, Key Account Manager at Cataclean, commented: “In the current market, garages are under increasing pressure to help customers manage vehicle running costs. Offering Cataclean as part of routine servicing is a simple way to support better fuel economy, smoother vehicle performance and reduced emissions – while also improving the likelihood of passing MOT emissions tests first time.”
Bamber added: “The benefit for technicians is that Cataclean works throughout the entire fuel and exhaust system, not just one component. It’s a straightforward pour-and-go solution that adds real value to the service while helping to prevent more costly component issues later down the line.”
As MOT emissions standards remain stringent, preventative maintenance is becoming increasingly important. Cataclean can be added quickly as part of a standard service, helping workshops improve customer satisfaction, increase pass rates and generate additional revenue with minimal labour input.
