A fuel additive controlling and maintaining apparatus used to eliminate the loss of absorbed CO2 gas mixed into liquid hydrocarbon fuel and particularly diesel fuel. In addition to the gas-enriched fuel, a gastight bag is utilized for holding a stabilizing gas mixture of CO2 and air that is not absorbed in the fuel. This bag, which is located within a protective enclosure and is connected into the ullage of a fuel tank, via a conduit, has approximately the same volume as the fuel tank. A two product refueling means is provided so that gas-enriched fuel is delivered to the fuel tank and the CO2 gas is delivered to the gastight bag. During fuel usage, as the fuel tank ullage increases, the gas mixture from the gastight bag maintains the ullage in a substantially filled condition thus, allowing the fuel to remain gas-enriched.
