Every litre of petrol sold in India has been E20 since 1 April 2026. Liqui Moly E20 Additive is made for exactly that fuel. It offsets the power loss that comes with higher ethanol content, keeps injectors and intake valves clean, and protects the fuel system against the water that ethanol pulls in.
Genuine Liqui Moly, made in Germany. Article number 23223. One 150 ml can treats 40 litres of petrol.
What it does
Wins back lost response. Liqui Moly formulated it to compensate for the power loss caused by fuel with raised ethanol content, up to E20.
Keeps injectors clean. Removes deposits from direct-injection (GDI) injectors and from the intake valves on port-injected engines, so the fuel spray stays even.
Handles the water. Ethanol absorbs moisture from the air. The additive prevents fuel-water emulsions and adds corrosion protection for the tank, lines and injectors.
Keeps stored fuel fresh. Antioxidants stabilise the fuel, which matters on a bike or car that stands between rides.
Safe for your fuel system. Compatible with the materials used in engines and fuel systems.
How much to use
The dose is 15 ml for every 4 litres of petrol, so a full 150 ml can treats 40 litres.
Scooter or commuter bike, 5 to 10 litre tank · about 20 to 40 ml · one can lasts 4 to 7 fills
Royal Enfield, KTM, Pulsar and similar, 12 to 15 litre tank · about 45 to 55 ml, roughly a third of the can · one can lasts about 3 fills
Hatchback, sedan or compact SUV, 35 to 45 litre tank · the full can per tank
A little over the dose does no harm. Close the cap firmly between uses on a bike.
How to use
Pour the dose into the tank just before you fill up, using the filler spout supplied on the can. The incoming petrol mixes it for you, with no shaking or measuring jug needed.
How often? Liqui Moly does not set a fixed interval. For full protection, dose at every fill. At the very least, dose the tank before a vehicle stands for more than a couple of weeks, because that is when ethanol does its damage.
Will it suit my vehicle?
It is for petrol engines only, 2-stroke and 4-stroke, in motorcycles, scooters, cars and light commercial vehicles. The can is also marked for hybrid petrol engines. Do not use it in a diesel.
Made before April 2023, and especially BS3 or BS4: your vehicle was not designed for E20, so this is the one we would treat as essential.
Made from April 2023 onward: the fuel system is certified for E20, but the fuel still absorbs moisture and leaves deposits. The additive keeps injectors clean and the tank dry.

Just the additive, or a kit?
This can on its own is the core protection. If you also want to clean out deposits that have already built up, we have put it together with matching Liqui Moly products:
E20 Starter Kit · E20 Additive + Gasoline System Cleaner, for cars and bikes
E20 Protection Kit for Motorcycles · E20 Additive + 4T Shooter + Speed Shooter, sized for a bike tank
E20 Protection Kit for Cars · E20 Additive + Gasoline System Cleaner + Octane Booster
Common questions
Will it bring my mileage back?It helps the engine burn E20 cleanly and keeps the injectors spraying properly, which recovers the losses caused by deposits and poor running. It cannot change the fact that ethanol holds less energy per litre than petrol, so expect smoother running and better response rather than a return to your old pre-E20 figure.
Can I use it with other additives?Yes. Our kits pair it with the Liqui Moly Gasoline System Cleaner, Octane Booster and the motorcycle shooters.
Is a can enough for my car?One can treats 40 litres, which is a full tank on most hatchbacks, sedans and compact SUVs.
Will it fix cracked fuel hoses?No. An additive protects the fuel and the metal parts, but rubber that has already hardened or cracked needs replacing with ethanol-resistant line. Our E20 protection guide covers the full routine.
