| HOW LONG WILL VP FUELS LAST IN AN UNOPENED DRUM? |
The length of time the fuel will stay fresh in a sealed drum depends on the fuel itself. A non oxygenated fuel such as C12 should be used within a couple years. VP Fuel have tested some that was eight years old and was fine. As far as an oxygenated fuel VP would like to see these fuels used within a year or so. This way you know the oxygen content is still within spec. |
| HOW LONG WILL VP FUELS LAST IN ONE OF YOUR MOTORSPORT CONTAINERS? |
It is recommended to be used within 2 to 4 weeks. A plastic container is designed for fuel transfer, not storage. If you are going racing for a week or weekend, it’s OK to put your fuel in the plastic containers. VP Fuel recommends that when you get to your shop you put the fuel back in the drum and seal it. |
| HOW DO I STORE MY FUEL? |
Cap tightly secured, out of direct sunlight and off concrete floors. Away from any ignition source, like stoves or hot water heaters. Ideally in a climate controlled environment. |
| HOW DO YOU SHIP VP FUEL? |
VP Fuel can be shipped in a variety of different ways, if you are in need of a 5-gallon pail or something smaller like a small engine fuel, simply Contact your local APC store to have it shipped directly to you under your account. If you need a 54 gallon we can arrange to have it drop shipped to you on one of our larger delivery trucks or pick up arrangements can be made through the main CANUSA Warehouse in London, ON. |
| CAN I BE SURE THE VP SMALL ENGINE FUELS MEETS THE MANUFACTURER’S SPECIFICATIONS FOR MY EQUIPMENT? |
You can be 100% confident that VP Small Engine Fuels will meet or exceed your manufacturer’s specifications. The Pre-Mix versions of VP-SEF for 2-cycle equipment—both 40:1 and 50:1—contain a top quality synthetic oil that exceeds API TC, ISO-L-EGD and JASO FD lubrication standards. Both the 2-cycle and VP-SEF 4-cycle versions include the highest quality components available, such that our fuel will burn cleaner and with fewer harmful emissions than any gasoline available at the pump. Note that VP-SEF 4-cycle fuel can also be used in 2-cycle engines when mixed with an oil to your manufacturer’s specifications. |
| WHY SHOULD I PICK VP SMALL ENGINE FUELS OVER OTHER PRE-MIXED FUELS? |
There are more than 28 different fuel specifications for gasoline fuel dispensed from pumps across the U.S. These specifications vary, leading to differences in components within the fuels, each of which can require a different air/fuel ratio for tuning an engine. This makes it almost impossible for the small engine manufacturers to accurately tune an engine at the factory. VP Small Engine Fuels is made exactly the same every time and is designed to give good throttle response along with a wide tuning window. |
| BESIDES OCTANE, WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO CONSIDER WHEN SELECTING A FUEL? |
Burning Speed, Energy Value, Cooling Effect. Is your engine naturally aspirated, turbocharged, blown or using nitrous oxide? Does your engine have O2 sensors or CATS? In what series or sanctioning body will you be racing? Before making a final fuel selection, we encourage you to consult with your local APC Representative., who will contact a VP Rep to get you what you are looking for. |
| WHAT DOES OCTANE REALLY MEASURE AND HOW IMPORTANT IS IT? |
Octane is a measurement of a fuel’s ability to resist detonation. Some fuel companies represent their fuels with Motor Octane Numbers, while other companies use Research or R+M/2 Octane Numbers. The Research Octane Numbers will always produce a higher number for the reason that it does not put the same amount of stress on the fuel. VP Racing Fuels always includes Motor Octane Numbers when promoting its fuels because our fuels are used exclusively for racing applications. |
