Preventive steps include:

Using high-quality petrol preferably from PSO, Total, o r Shell

Avoiding repeated short trips where the engine doesn’t heat up properly

Reducing unnecessary idling

Using fuel system cleaners every 10,000–15,000 km

Ensuring spark plugs and injectors are clean

Taking the vehicle for an occasional long drive helps burn off deposits inside the catalytic converter.
