VP Racing Fuels was founded by Steve Burns, who, in the early 1970s as a young racer in San Antonio, Texas, started experimenting with fuel blends in his parents’ garage. Self-taught in chemistry and physics, he sought to improve horsepower beyond what existing fuels offered.From its start in San Antonio with two employees, VP Racing Fuels has grown to over 300 staff and 80+ fuel blends and a roster of champions, VP is known as the World Leader in Race Fuel Technology®, driven by a passionate team committed to maintaining its top position.
M1
VP M1 Fuel has a 99.95% minimum purity. It's the highest purity you'll find in a methanol fuel in the United States. M1 helps your engine run cooler and reduces corrosion compared to standard methanol blends. We package M1 in lined drums, which prohibit rust, corrosion and metal deposits that can contaminate your fuel delivery system.
We recommend M1 for all your methanol-legal racing applications.
AVAILABLE IN 5 GALLON PAILS
M5
VP M5 race fuel is formulated to be the best performing methanol on the market. M5 makes more power than standard methanol because of its upgraded combustion additives. It offers the same or better protection against detonation.
M5 has improved vaporization, offering a wider acceptable range of air/fuel ratios and tuning, as well as faster combustion speeds. Use it for both drag racing and circle track racing. It is not pure methanol and won’t pass a water test.

C85
If you’re committed to using E85 type fuels, VP C85 fuel is your best choice. We blend it with a consistent proportion of ethanol and every other component in every drum. VP C85 makes up to 4% more power and torque than conventional E85. With higher-quality pure components, our blend is superior to E85 products. C85 works well in drag racing, circle track, off road and virtually any other automotive application.
Note: Do not use with fuel injectors that are not compatible with MTBE.

C16
C16 fuel has an established performance standard that still exists today. We formulate it for drag racing applications. Use it in turbocharged engines, supercharged engines, and nitrous applications with CRs up to 17:1. C16 is one of VP’s most popular blends.

Q16
We blend Q16 fuel primarily for intercooled, forced-induction drag race applications. Many regard it as the top oxygenated, leaded fuel produced by VP. It is required to increase fuel flow by 4-6% because it's highly oxygenated. Q16 make 3-5% more power than competitive 116 octane fuels, and the added fuel flow effectively increases the octane of the fuel by 6-8 numbers above its standard ASTM octane rating, resulting in greater detonation protection.
It's great for use in any naturally aspirated drag race or truck pull application that doesn’t require fuel rules. This fuel is also popular in jet limited nitrous drag applications.

MS109
VP MS 109 is an unleaded, highly oxygenated fuel that produces more power than any other unleaded fuel - up to 5% more power than premium unleaded fuel! We recommend it for applications with up to 25 lbs. of boost and naturally aspirated engines with compression ratios up to 13:1. It's the best all-around fuel for motorsports compared to other unleaded fuels.
MS 109 is ideal for drag racing, circle track, road racing & rally, and off-road/rally racing.

MR12
We design MR12 fuel to make maximum power in four stroke dirt or street bikes with stock or mild modifications. This is VP’s best fuel yet for 4-stroke applications that can tolerate lower octane values. MR12 has met fuel rules for AMA Pro/Am, CCS, WERA, NMA, WORCS, SCORE and Best in the Desert, as well as club level racing and more. As regulations are ever changing, we recommend checking with tech to be certain.
