Additive manufacturers are encouraging automotive workshops to help drivers reduce emissions by removing carbon build-up in older petrol and diesel engines. This process targets deposits in fuel and exhaust systems that often accumulate during short, stop-start trips. Addressing these deposits can improve fuel efficiency and reduce harmful emissions. The initiative aims to provide a practical way for independent garages to improve local air quality ahead of Clean Air Day.

Cleaning out carbon deposits is a decent quick fix for old engines, but I wonder about the long term payback. If the engine is already failing, a chemical flush is just a band aid.
The 60 percent reduction claim is a bold number. I would like to see the actual testing parameters. Is that a peak reduction or an average across all vehicle types?
Maintenance is fine, but the real move is getting these older combustion vehicles off the road entirely. How many of these workshops are actually pivoting to EV service?
