VP Racing Fuels designs VP T4 fuel for stock or slightly modified 4-stroke engines. It’s unleaded and ethanol-free. T4 is a direct pour-in replacement for premium pump gas, which has a short storage life. In addition, pump gas causes a heightened need for repairs in all engines after periods of non-use. Furthermore, when riders face extreme conditions, they are usually forced to add octane boosters or race fuel to increase the octane of pump gas.
However, T4’s 97 octane rating (R+M/2) provides greater protection against detonation. VP T4 also offers 2-3% more power and better throttle response across the entire RPM range. This applies when compared with more expensive performance parts. Those typically increase power along only a small slice of the power curve.
VP Racing Fuels was founded by Steve Burns, who initially exhibited his aptitude for R&D in the early 1970’s as a young racer in San Antonio, Texas. Self-taught in chemistry and physics, Steve was convinced the race fuel manufacturers of the day were falling short in their quest for optimum horsepower.
To address this shortcoming, he began experimenting with exotic blends of fuel, much to the dismay of his parents whose garage served as Steve’s laboratory. Steve began at the local tracks of Texas, where racers tried his fuel and liked the power gains. His first fuel was christened “C12™,” the word spread and Steve’s company was founded as VP Racing Fuels in 1975.
All of the VP Racing Fuel products that we carry are in-store pickup only due to the volatile nature of shipping large cans of fuel.
