Max-Clean® Fuel System Cleaner
Royal Purple® Max-Clean® is a state-of-the-art high performance fuel system cleaner that maximizes the performance of your fuel system. Max-Clean restores fuel economy by deeply penetrating deposits and cleaning injectors, carburetors, intake valves and combustion chambers.
Key Benefits
-
Maximizes Horsepower
-
Restores Fuel Economy
-
Removes Deposits & Buildup
The illustration below shows the before and after effects of switching to Max Clean.
Royal Purple Max-Clean is EPA / CARB Compliant. Recommended for use in gasoline and diesel engines and can be used with all ethanol blends or biofuel. Max-Clean can be used in both 4-cycle & 2-cycle engines and will not harm vehicle emissions equipment.
PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES
Multiple product fleet tests were conducted on various makes and models of vehicles. Royal Purple found that after as little as one treatment Max-Clean can:
- Gas savings up to 6.1%
- Lowers emissions up to 44%
- Restores horsepower an average of 2.6%
- Restore fuel economy an average of 5.5%
- Prevents intake valve deposits at least 4X better vs. The nearest leading competitor to improve performance
- Removes more than 68% of tough-to-remove combustion chamber deposits to improve performance and prevent damage to the engine
- Reduce hydrocarbon, nox and CO emissions (on average 12%, 13% and 18% respectively)
- Prevent rough idle, hesitation and stalling
- Prevent premature spark plug fouling
- Reduce deposit-related engine knocking and pinging
Royal Purple Max-Clean also stabilizes fuel during low-use and storage periods, preventing varnishing of fuel.
RECOMMENDED TREAT RATE
Pour entire contents of bottle into nearly empty tank immediately before refueling, then install fuel on top of additive. One (1) can treats up to 20 gallons. For tank sizes outside of this range, use one (1) ounce per gallon. In two-cycle engines, use one (1) ounce per gallon.
RECOMMENDED USAGE
Max-Clean should be used every 10,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first.

Intake Valve Deposits (IVD’s) are formed by oil slowly seeping past the intake valve guide seals and down the valve guides. When oil reaches the hot valve, it sticks and burns, forming black carbon deposits. They also result from unburned fuel vapors and oil vapors siphoning back into the intake manifold through the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system. These stubborn deposits are very difficult to remove. As they accumulate, airflow into cylinders is restricted and causes loss of power and fuel economy. Max-Clean prevents IVD’s and optimizes performance.

Combustion Chamber Deposits (CCD’s) increase the compression ratio of an engine and the octane requirements of the fuel. If the fuel’s octane rating is not high enough to compensate for CCD buildup, it results in detonation and build-up of heat/hot-spots that damage head gaskets, piston rings and rod bearings. Knock sensors in modern engines detect detonation and trigger the ECU to retard timing. But this reduces performance and fuel economy, and increases emissions. Max-Clean removes CCD’s, relieves octane increase burden, and restores performance.
*Testing performed 2020 by ATD GmbH.
Depending on the nature and severity of IVD’s and CCD’s, they can reduce fuel economy by an average of 2%-7%, depending on engine type, driving conditions, and type/octane of fuel used. Max-Clean provides a one tank clean-up and is only required once every 10,000 miles of driving. The dollar savings that results from decreased fuel consumption between Max-Clean applications more than offsets its cost – meaning it actually pays for itself.

Oxidative stability of hydrocarbons in fuel impacts how quickly they chemically break down to form gums that stick to engine surfaces and coke (bake) into deposits. By delaying/preventing the onset of oxidation, less gums are formed, resulting in fewer deposits. This reduces the clean-up burden of fuel detergents. In this way, fuel stabilizers function synergistically with detergents to maintain total engine cleanliness. Max-Clean stabilizes fuel (especially before/after idle periods) to prevent deposit-forming gums.

Cleared catylic codes after two garages said i needed to replace the cat converter.Mileage increased, and car ran smoother. 2004 subaru xt

This gave a noticeable boost in performance for a 21 Mazda cx-5 turbo w 70k miles. Recommended.

Scotty Kilmer – the car guru on YouTube recommends Royal Purple products. This works great to keep my car running smooth and as always the best price is at Walmart.com. I also use the Royal purple oil filters and Valvoline Max Life from Walmart. I was leaking 1 quart of oil per week in my Terrain. Scotty Kilmer said buy a new oil pan plug, buy Royal Purple filters and quality oil. I now use about 1/2 quart a month. Walmart has the best prices on all of my auto needs

I bought an Acrua RDX 2016 Advance with 150K miles. Note the vehicle has been maintained from day zero in Acura Dealership. The engine felt a bit jerky, and as I haa a bottle of Chevron Techron I poured it when filled the gas first time. I also changed the air filter and cleaned the air intake sensor. The engine sounded and responded a bit bette, but what I expected, as I owned Acuras prior to this one. Anyway, today I went to Exxon gas station and poured one bottle of purple in it, and then refuled the tank with the supreme gas. Wow! The engine almost immediately “changed the sound” and it is so responsive now. Too early to tell about the mileage, as I drive in the stop and go traffic mainly, and Acuras are so bad in this type of traffic, but will report on it. Definitely buying two more bottles while on the rollback! I am amused and cautious, but this thing could be for real!

I have used it before and it makes a big difference on how my truck and car runs!!
-
Product didnt cause any problem with engine during use. Engine is running smoother and gas mileage has picked up.
-
I’ve used RP fuel system cleaner several times. I had a check engine light that came on even after a full tune up on my car. Replaced O2 sensors and still would come on. Used this in a tank of premium ethanol free and check engine light hasn’t come back on since.
-
This cleaner really works. Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
-
It cleaned my catalytic converter like it said it would
-
Used in a 2013 Jeep. Helped to smooth out idle and smooth acceleration. Definitely will use again.
