VP113 represents a true technological breakthrough offering substantial power gains at a competitive price. Technology transfer played a major role in this fuel, given its origins in the motorcycle market. Motorcycle engine builders are ahead of the curve in many facets of engine technology and all the major factory teams have looked to VP over the last decade to develop racing fuels for optimum performance in motocross and road racing. While very successful in generating maximum power in powersport applications, it took three years of work to engineer a fuel using the same technology for application in the mainstream market at a competitive price.
Oxygenated to street gas levels, VP113 will make up to 2% more power than competitive 110-114 octane fuels, and in engine applications with poor or marginal fuel vaporization qualities, it can achieve 3-4% power gains. Because of this fuel's vaporization quality, its throttle response exceeds every 110 octane fuel on the market.
VP113 will also perform more consistently due to its oxygenated compounds and better vaporization, which yield a wider air-fuel ratio and improved fuel distribution cylinder to cylinder. VP113 has routinely demonstrated it will reduce the variation in bracket racers' ET from run to run.
Due to its oxygenation, VP113 will have to run 1-3% richer than nonoxygenated 110s and may require a tuning change of +1 to +2 jets for optimum performance. The fact that it will run richer will effectively add 2-3 octane numbers to its standard ASTM rating, providing even more on-track protection against detonation. It will promote lower water temperatures as well. VP113 is designed for naturally aspirated engines with compression ratios up to 14:1.
VP113 can be used effectively in drag racing, circle track, road racing, motorcycle racing & virtually anything that moves. Priced slightly above competitors' 110 fuels and below their 114 fuels, VP113 will outperform them all. Where oxygenation is allowed, this is truly the only fuel you should be using. VP113 is available in 5-, 15-, 30- and 54 gallon drums, as well as bulk.
Technical questions on application and use of VP113 can be directed to VP Racing Fuels Technical Support at 812-878-2025 or tech@vpracingfuels.com. Questions regarding purchase and delivery of VP113 can be directed to the appropriate VP regional distribution center, each of which is listed with contact information on VP's website.
To store VP113, keep it in a tightly sealed container. It will not separate as its components are solvents of one another. Do not expose the fuel to direct sunlight as the ultraviolet rays will oxidize the lead. (VP produces round or square containers in a variety of colors, each of which is suitable for transportation of fuel. Contact your regional VP Racing regional distribution center for more information.)
