"Additech is proud to work with Joe Gibbs Driven. Nobody knows more about maintaining a race car's peak performance than Joe Gibbs Racing, an organization respected throughout racing for its knowledgeable professionals, integrity, and winning record," said Andy Austin, Additech President. "These same qualities have made Additech America's No. 1 fuel system tune-up.

Tune-up at the Pump
Houston-based Additech has patented the only "tune-up at the pump" fuel system service. Additech's unique fuel additive delivery system dispenses and blends world leading fuel additives into gasoline while consumers pump their gas, allowing consumers to conveniently perform routine auto maintenance while they fuel their vehicle.
"Additech improves a vehicle's performance by removing carbon deposits that build up in fuel injectors, intake valves and combustion chambers over time," said Austin. "This translates to better gas mileage, improved engine performance, and reduced harmful emissions."
"It's great to have Additech as part of the Joe Gibbs Driven family," said Steve Boguski, Vice President, Joe Gibbs Driven. "Their additive product quality is second to none, and the ease of a fuel system tune-up at the pump is truly unique."
Additech operates its system at over 2,000 fueling positions across 18 states at major retailers' fuel centers. The company expects to have the systems installed at nearly 4,000 fueling positions in over 1,000 fuel centers by year-end.
