What is the highest octane VP fuel?

VP101 is designed for the racing enthusiast who not only races, but runs VP Racing Fuels for recreation. Oxygenated with ethanol, VP101 has the highest octane rating of any street legal fuel on the market while meeting both Arizona and California Air Resource Board (CARB) requirements.

How long does VP Racing fuel last?

two years

HOW LONG WILL THIS FUEL LAST IN STORAGE? VP Small Engine Fuel will remain stable more than two years when kept in its original sealed container. Even after pulling some of the fuel out, you’re looking at about a two-year life as long as you properly re-seal your container.

What VP fuel is 100 octane?

MOTORSPORT 100
MOTORSPORT 100 is a VP 100 octane fuel. We design it as a professional-grade, unleaded blend for all forms of motorsports.

What gas do you use for 14 1 compression?

racing gas with a Motor Octane of 114. Jason said, “We recommended this one for naturally aspirated engines operating at over 8000 RPMs with compression ratios of 14:1 and higher. It’s the spec fuel for NHRA Comp Eliminator, NMRA and NMCA”.

What is the most powerful racing fuel?

MS109 produces more power than any other unleaded fuel on the market. It will make up to 5% more power than premium unleaded and compared with other unleaded fuels, MS109 offers better detonation protection.

What octane is jet fuel?

The octane ratings of AVGAS, a gasoline-based fuel, are usually either 91 or 100 (lean mixture) and 96 or 130 (rich mixture). The octane rating of jet fuel is much lower, around 15 – this is much more like automotive diesel and thus much more resistant to detonating due to sparks or compression.

Can you put 100 octane gas in any car?

Unleaded high-octane racing fuel is fine to add to your car, and you won’t notice much of a difference apart from the exorbitantly higher price. Leaded fuels, methanol fuels and even nitromethane fuels are used exclusively for racing in most cases, unless you have an engine designed to run on methanol.

Can you mix racing fuel with regular gas?

Yes, you can mix any of our race fuels. But remember – if your engine needs an unleaded fuel, you don’t want to mix leaded with unleaded. Doing so would make a leaded fuel which could still damage oxygen sensors and catalytic converters.

Does race fuel increase horsepower?

Many race fuel are oxygenated. Oxygenated fuels allow the engine to have a higher power output because oxygen is brought into the engine from air and fuel. Ethanol for example has an oxygen atom trapped in the chemical structure.

Is 100 octane better than E85?

E85 is going to have a higher effective octane rating vs 100 octane, which is likely about 5 points. This will allow you to run more aggressive timing an likely generate more power.

What race gas is purple?

Sunoco Standard 110
Sunoco Standard 110 Octane, Purple.

What octane is needed for 9.5 1 compression?

The standard recommendation for street engines running on pump gas has always been to shoot for a 9.0:1 to perhaps 9.5:1 compression ratio. This is in order for the engine to safely work with pump gas, which for much of the country, is limited to 91-octane.

What octane do you use for 10 1 compression?

87-octane
Most stock gas engines have a compression ratio around 10:1 and run just fine on regular 87-octane gas.

Is E85 better than race fuel?

E85 fuel can give you a significant boost in power and torque without breaking the bank for racing fuels. It has a base octane rating of 105 and has the bonus of added cooling properties that add even more knock resistance than racing fuels with the same rating.

Can you run 110 octane in a car?

You cannot put anything other than gasoline in that car, or you risk causing costly damage to your engine. So, can you put higher octane gasoline in a regular car? Simply put, yes, you can put higher octane gasoline, or racing fuel, in your average car.

Why is jet fuel so cheap?

Jet A fuel consistently costs less than 100LL due to its simpler refining process, ease of transportation (via pipelines because it does not contain lead), and economies of scale from the volume of demand.

What octane is NASCAR?

98 octane
The specialized NASCAR fuel is Sunoco Green E15, a 98 octane, unleaded fuel blend specifically engineered for high-performance engines and race cars. It’s called Green E15 because the racing fuel is actually green in color.

What happens if I put 100 octane in my car?

How much HP does E85 add?

The benefits of E85 really come from the higher octane (up to 110, depending on ethanol content and quality). This allows some of the same benefits you see when using methanol injection, meaning you can run more spark (if needed) or boost. This normally translates to 25-50 or more horsepower on a forced-induction car.

What is the best race fuel?

Q16 is primarily used in intercooled, forced induction drag race applications and is often regarded as the best oxygenated, leaded fuel VP produces. Highly oxygenated, requiring a 4-6% increase in fuel flow, which will make 3-5% more power than competitive 116 octane fuels.

What color is 110 octane fuel?
