Kerosene additives can greatly improve the efficiency of oil-powered domestic appliances such as central heating systems and range-cookers. In particular, these chemicals can help to reduce wear and tear, lower maintenance costs and even extend the life of your boiler, oil tank or AGA. However, with many heating oil additives available on the market, it can be confusing to know which one is the best. In this guide, we compare different types of kerosene additives to help you identify which types to use in your home. 

What are the different types of fuel additives?

There are over 60 types of fuel that can be made by refining crude oil and there are a variety of additives that can be used. As a general rule, fuel additives can be separated into two distinct categories: stabilisers and enhancers. Both types of additives are designed to improve fuel performance and efficiency.

In terms of heating oil additives, five types of chemicals are commonly used: stabilisers, biocides, cleaners, demulsifiers and corrosion inhibitors. Stabilisers improve the combustibility and burning efficiency of heating oil Biocides kill bacteria and prevent sludge formation Cleaners dissolve impurities such as sludge and carbon deposits Demulsifiers separate water to prevent damage and bacteria Corrosion inhibitors prevent corrosion and minimise debris
