hyperfuels has it listed for $439 for a 55 gallon drum
 
niiiiiiice, wonder what, if any gains you could see on a dyno, on the track..... I know you would notice less in your pocket when seated. 60 cetane thats a step up from 40 !
 
i've been told that this and the syn diesel were dyno'd against #2 and the difference was almost un-measurable. same tune same day, though there might be some gains had there been some tuning involved, it dont look like it's worth the extra money.

I have heard people say no difference, and some say 40-60 hp improvement. The only way to know is to compare it on a dyno. At least that way i will know for sure.
 
Best way would be:

Get your best tune on #2, dyno...
Change fuel, dyno...
Tune for the new fuel, dyno...
Change back to #2, dyno...

See what the results and testing show.
 
If its the same Shell V-power diesel what is available here in Europa,. it will add more power and engine runs smoother.

I fill it to my Transporter TDI in Germany 2008, the top speed rise from factory 156kmph to 175kmph

Only one disadvantage , its very expencive
 
Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to add a bit of Cetane booster? Dunno how well it actually raises the points but, a lot cheaper then that lol.
 
To put it the way Shell told us when we talked to them, In Europe they wouldnt even use our fuel in their tractors.

This fuel is a very high grade diesel, that will prolong the life of your diesel.
If you get a little bit more confidence running it then go for it, use it for racing. How much fuel do you actually use for racing?
If you drive to the track make sure you are pretty much on empty when you get to the track and only put in as much race diesel as you need to race then fill up with regular diesel on the way home.

Its no different than running race gas in your gas vehicle. If it gains you a little bit of power great, but if it adds to the protection of your motor by making it a cleaner burning engine and more efficient then it gets my vote for sure.
