The fuel additive system is an on-board system that allows the injection of an additive at each refueling operation by the customer. The additive quantity is proportional to the fuel quantity that has been added. The fuel additive system module controls the amount of additive fluid entering the fuel tank at each refueling, A switch mounted on the fuel filler flap is used to detect the start of the refueling event and the fuel gauge that is mounted within the fuel tank informs the fuel additive tank module the quantity of actual fuel added.
