Fuel additives from Bardahl
We have five Bardahl fuel additives in stock. These include the following:
- Bardahl Instead of Lead – This lead replacement is for older engines that still need to run on leaded fuel. It protects against wear and tear and lubricates the pistons and valves. Instead of Lead will increase the lifespan of engines on vintage cars, classics and old 4x4s.
- Bardahl Fuel Stabiliser – This product cleans the carburettors and lubricates the engine components. It also prevents the fuel filters from clogging and can be used when your vehicle is kept in storage for long periods since it prevents fuel degradation, gum development, and corrosion.
- Bardahl 5-in-1 Cleaner (Petrol) – This popular additive removes deposits from petrol engines, improving fuel economy, lowering emissions, and restoring power. As its name suggests, it cleans the engine components and prolongs the lifespan of your motor.
- Bardahl 5-in-1 Cleaner (Diesel) – Just like the product above, this diesel version improves fuel economy, decreases pollutants, and removes deposits from diesel engines. It also helps to avoid injector blockage and promotes smooth engine operation.
- Bardahl BDC – This diesel additive improves the cetane rate of your diesel, which improves combustion and reduces fuel consumption. It also protects engine components from wear and helps to dissolve carbon deposits. It can help to recover lost power and enhance overall engine performance.

Tips for optimising engine performance using Bardahl
To maximise the benefits of Bardahl fuel additives, follow these tips:
- Use regularly – Include Bardahl additives in your routine maintenance to ensure long-term protection and performance.
- Fuel quality – Zimbabwe adds ethanol to its fuel, which can affect the performance of newer engines. Use fuel additives to remove deposits and keep your engine clean.
- Expert servicing – Keeping your vehicle’s engine in good working order requires regular servicing by an expert mechanic. Stick to the recommended service intervals and budget for a minimum of one service per year.
- Listen to your engine – Pay attention to any unexpected noises or changes in engine performance, as they could signal underlying problems.
- Consult a mechanic – If you notice any persistent difficulties, contact a skilled mechanic for diagnosis and repair. Remember that Bardahl products are designed to maintain engine performance; they are not designed to fix issues.
