Unlike pump-grade E85, VP X85L is consistently blended with 85% ethanol and 15% of the highest quality hydrocarbons. You can be confident that every batch offers the same quality and consistency as the last. This is a leaded fuel, providing additional protection against detonation.
Fuel specifications:
VP X85L is engineered for performance and reliability, making it an excellent choice for race applications that demand power, consistency, and detonation resistance.
Rally fuel, or racing fuel, is a type of gasoline that has been specifically formulated to meet the demanding needs of high-performance rally and racing cars.
Here are some reasons why rally fuel is used:
# 1. High Octane Rating: Rally fuels have higher octane ratings compared to standard gasoline. This helps to prevent engine knocking or detonation, which can be damaging to the engine. High-performance rally engines often have high compression ratios and are subject to high temperatures, making the high octane fuel essential.
# 2. Special Additives: These fuels often contain special additives that can enhance performance, provide better lubrication, improve combustion, and protect the engine under the extreme stress of racing conditions.
# 3. Consistent Quality: The quality and composition of rally fuel are strictly controlled and more consistent than standard gasoline. This consistency allows for predictable engine performance, which can be crucial in competitive racing.
# 4. Engineered for Specific Conditions: Rally fuels are often designed for specific racing conditions, such as different weather conditions, altitudes, and engine specifications. This allows for optimal engine performance under varying conditions.
# 5. Increased Power Output: Some racing fuels are oxygenated, meaning they contain compounds that release oxygen during combustion. This can lead to a more efficient burn and higher power output.
