Not in a standard Motor......It could end up very expensive to repair.

It changes the fuel burn characteristics and internal engune temperatures

I worked with large diesel engines for most of my working life, some of them up to 30,000 HP. There were always people trying to sell us miracle additives for the fuel but none of them were cost effective.

The best tip I can give is to use the best quality low sulphur fuel available and regularly make the engine work hard to clear away any carbon deposits.
