VP M5 Methanol

 VP M5 Racing Methanol VP M5 Racing Methanol

M5 is simply the best performing methanol on the market.

Using nitrated compounds to make more power M5 will also offer better protection against detonation than normal methanol’s.

M5 also reduces noxious methanol fumes, M5 is not pure methanol and won’t pass a water test.

This is particularly effective in Speedway Applications especially the smaller motorcycle engines

M5 is also known as Roo5.

M5 is enhanced over normal methanol’s by actively reducing the effects of Methanol from rejoining into larger puddles once past the carburetor.

This is how it provides better atomisation and more effective combustion process, producing greater efficiency, consistency and power.

Due to is high cost, VP M5, this is only ordered as a special order in advance.

Bio-Ethanol Racing Fuels

The big questions Corn or Sugar? 85 or 98% Ethanol?

Bio Ethanol Fuels

Bio-Ethanol fuels are certainly where the future of where our modern day fuels are going. Many modern unleaded fuels are now incorporating up to 10% Ethanol by volume, but we would consider these to still be essentially an unleaded racing fuel.

More fuels are now though are increasing this ratio to in excess of 15% ethanol by volume, which shift them into the class of a Bio-Ethanol fuel. The higher the ethanol content, the greater the ability for the fuel to cool down the combustion process with an inter-cooling effect, produce greater power especially with high compression ratio’s and boost levels.

Ethanol fuels of 85 or 98% are heavily used in circuit racing with great results. It is certainly, as far as a race fuel goes, one of the cheapest options for racers.

Whilst there is access to Pump Fuel E85, this is not blended to the same quality as drummed E85, and has variations in the Ethanol Concentration. This also may or may not be mixed with 98 Octane Petrol which can affect its ability to resist detonation and be a lower quality fuel.

The final item to take note is whether the Ethanol is Corn or Sugar based. Sugar based can leave residues and is a lower octane  (Max 108 Octane) compared to Corn based (Max 116 Octane) and has no residues, thus not requiring any additives to counter this.

Sunoco Green E15

Sunoco Green E15 Bio-ethanol Racing Fuels Sunoco Green E15 Unleaded Racing Fuel

Sunoco® Green E15™ is a highly oxygenated unleaded race fuel that contains 15 volume percent ethanol. Because it contains more oxygen than most fuels, fuel system changes may be needed to extract peak performance from Green E15.

This is specially suited to high compression naturally aspirated engines and water sport engines wanting to go to the limit of oxygenation.

Sunoco Green E15 contains a comprehensive additive package that helps keep fuel systems clean, enhances shelf life and reduces fuel system deposits. It should be stored in opaque, tightly sealed containers and kept where temperatures are stable.

Properly stored, the shelf life of Sunoco Green E15 is in excess of 1 year.

Powerplus E85 is not corrosive like methanol and includes all the required anti corrosives and lubricants. Does not leave carbon deposits like petrol so maintenance is reduced across the board, your spark plugs and oil stays looking like new.

Powerplus E85 has a higher RON Rating due to higher filtration during the Blending process, but some engines may not necessarily produce greater gains due to the higher oxygenation levels.

Powerplus E85 is blended from Corn Starch, supplied by Minildra, not sugar cane and does not have the same issue of chemical residue left on cylinder ports and injectors.

This form of Ethanol aids in producing a higher octane and ultimately, a superior fuel.

Sunoco E85R

Sunoco E85-R Bio-ethanol Racing FuelSunoco E85R Ethanol Racing Fuel

Sunoco E85-R is an unleaded racing fuel containing 85 volume % ethanol.  It can only be used in fuel systems designed specifically for E85 blends.  Because it is highly oxygenated and requires increased fuel flow compared to conventional non-oxygenated fuels, consult with your fuel injection system or carburetor supplier for correct air/fuel ratio calibrations.

Sunoco E85-R is blended to consistently contain 85% ethanol.  The non-ethanol portion of Sunoco E85-R is comprised of highly-refined race fuel hydrocarbons for stability and consistency.  Sunoco E85 is blended from Corn Starch, not sugar cane and does not have the same issue of chemical residue left on cylinder ports and injectors. This form of Ethanol aids in producing a higher octane and ultimately, a superior fuel.

All other E85’s currently manufactured within Australia all utilise a 98 RON 15% petrol base. Sunoco E85-R utilises the 260GTX 103 RON 15% petrol base making this truly the highest octane based E85 on the market.

Sunoco E85-R does not contain metallic additives and will not harm oxygen sensors. Do not let the specifications below mislead you, like many race fuels the numbers only tell a very small part of the story. This is without a doubt, the highest horsepower producing E85 on the market.

VP C85

VP C85 Bio-ethanol Racing Fuel VP C85 Ethanol Racing Fuel

If you’re committed to using E85 type fuels, C85 is by far your best choice. Conventional E85 fuels are notoriously inconsistent, requiring up to a two-jet swing in tuning from one batch of E85 to the next.

By contrast, C85 is blended with a consistent proportion of ethanol and every other component in every drum. In addition to taking all the guesswork out of tuning, C85 makes up to 4% more power and torque than conventional E85. With higher quality pure components, C85 is superior to E85 in terms of cooling effect, resistance to detonation and even includes corrosion inhibitors to fight the issues presented by ethanol.

C85 works well in drag racing, oval track, off road and virtually any other automotive application, in particular forced induction applications due to its lower vapor pressure. Tests of C85 indicate most applications will require enriching up by 1 jet size, or 2-3% over current jetting.

NOTE: DO NOT USE WITH FUEL INJECTORS THAT ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH MTBE.

This fuel cannot be used in any form of watersports due to having MTBE in its mixture.

Note that for racers unwilling to invest in the new carb and expensive fuel system upgrade required for E85, VP’s MS109, VP113 and Q16 continue to be the best race gas alternatives for the money.
