Motor Octane: 115
Specific Gravity:
.713 at 60° F
NEW! Q16
Q16 will work well in any drag racing or circle
track application -- naturally aspirated, nitrous or
blowers. Q16 is highly oxygenated, requiring a 4-6%
increase in fuel flow, which will make 3-5% more
power than competitive 116 octane fuels. Q16's
oxygenation will significantly expand the range of
air/fuel ratio acceptability, so performance will be
more consistent and won't vary as dramatically with
altitude or density changes. For bracket racers,
variations in ET from run to run will be
substantially reduced. This added fuel flow also
effectively increases its octane by 6-8 numbers
above its standard ASTM octane rating.

specifically engineered for high-performance street
cars including sport compacts, muscle cars, street
rods and more. It's environmentally friendly and
street legal throughout the U.S. In applications

METHANOL
M1
M1 Racing Methanol has a 99.95% minimum purity - the
highest purity available in the U.S. With M1,
engines run cooler and are less subject to
corrosion. VP uses only lined drums which prohibit
rust, corrosion and metal deposits that can
contaminate fuel delivery systems. Recommended for
all methanol-legal racing applications.
M3
Like M1, M3 starts with methanol of the highest
purity, but includes lubrication and combustion
additives for an extra boost. M3 offers a wider
range of jetting options, making jetting easier and
more consistent. For bracket racers, variations in
ET from run to run will be substantially reduced.
With better tuning and cleaner, more efficient
combustion, M3 makes more power and yields better
throttle response than any standard methanol on the
market. M3's improved combustion also reduces the
noxious fumes associated with methanol fuels, so
it's much easier on the eyes and nose. For 60-70% of
methanol applications, M3 won't require jetting or
timing changes-just pour it in and get an immediate
performance improvement in all areas. In the other
30-40%, M3's added vaporization may actually hurt
volumetric efficiency and performance, which is what
lead to the development of M5. M3 is not pure
methanol and won't pass a water test.
NEW! M5
M5 is simply the best performing methanol on the
market. With its upgraded combustion additives, M5
will make more power than M3, i.e., 5-7% more power
than standard methanol, while offering the same or
better protection against detonation. Like M3, M5's
improved vaporization offers a wider acceptable
range of air/fuel ratios and tuning. It also yields
faster combustion speeds which lead to closer EGT's
from cylinder to cylinder, providing more consistent
performance from run to run. M5 is not pure methanol
and won't pass a water test.
Available in 5-gallon pails and 54-gallon
drums
RACING NITROMETHANE
VP Racing Fuels produces VP NITRO RACETM
racing nitromethane and distributes it throughout
North America. VP NITRO RACE is of the highest
purity and consistency. Used by top teams in drag
racing around the world, VP NITRO RACE satisfies
NHRA specifications for Top Fuel and Funny Car at
90% and 96%.
Available in 400 pound drums (about 42
gallons).
CUSTOM BLENDING
Custom fuels are VP Racing's specialty. With the
ability to adjust lead level, oxygen content, color
and other properties, VP can develop a fuel
customized for virtually any application, as
illustrated by our 60+ existing blends. This
expertise led VP to design, produce and dispense
high quality leaded and unleaded "spec" racing fuels
for many sanctioning organizations, including NHRA,
SKUSA, Star Mazda, Stars of Karting and Champ Car
Atlantic, among others. VP assists many of these
organizations with fuel testing requirements as
well. |
