Shell V-Power high octane fuel - Benefits (text only)

Shell V-Power

This section shows how Shell V-Power works in a car engine and demonstrates what benefits it is designed to deliver.

This video depicts the journey Shell V-Power makes after a car pulls up at a forecourt pump and the liquid makes its way into the fuel tank. It shows in graphic detail how the fuel travels from the tank to the pump, through to the fuel filter, injector, valves and piston, actively cleaning the car’s engine as it goes.

Inspired by Ferrari for your car

We work closely with the Ferrari team in Formula One to develop the highest performance Shell V-Power race fuels. This experience has inspired our development of the new formulation of Shell V-Power fuels for road cars to bring performance and power to motorists, whatever car they drive.

From track to road

A dedicated team of Shell scientists use the Formula One environment as a laboratory. We work on many factors that affect a car’s engine, and then use these insights when formulating Shell V-Power road fuel. Our insights have helped us to keep improving Shell V-Power with Instant Response Technology, enabling us to launch our latest formulation, designed to combust more effectively and release more power from any engine

Introduction

Get ready for an animated journey. We’re going to follow the new formulation of Shell V-Power through a car's fuel system.

You’ll see first-hand the effect that Shell V-Power is designed to have, as you watch Shell V-Power cleansing and reducing friction helping to improve the efficiency of the engine.

Shell V-Power: New formulation for powerful cleaning

New formulation Shell V-Power contains powerful cleaning agents, designed to prevent the formation of power-robbing deposits that can impact on the responsiveness and efficiency of your engine.

Shell V-Power is formulated to help remove existing deposits that other fuels may have left behind, which can help new engines run smoothly for longer, and can help rejuvenate older engines – whatever car you drive.

Improve Efficiency: Designed to combust more effectively and reduce friction to help deliver more power

Shell V-Power’s unique Instant Response Technology is designed to create a molecular film that helps reduce friction in the engine. If friction is reduced, then more of the fuel’s energy is available to power the vehicle, helping to improve performance from the first fill. The improved new formulation of Shell V-Power is also formulated to combust more effectively to release more power from your engine, from the first fill.

Shell V-Power, inspired by Ferrari for your car

The new formulation of Shell V-Power has been developed by the same Shell scientists who work on Ferrari Formula One race fuels.

Shell V-Power's unique formulation of cleaning agents and Friction Modification Technology is designed to help increase an engine’s responsiveness and improve driving performance from the first fill.
