The fuel you can breathe next to

A forestry crew works in the exhaust plume for hours. VP's alkylate fuel is virtually free of benzene and aromatics and contains no ethanol — chemistry built for racing, sold for the chainsaw and the mower too.

01 — THE PROBLEM

Pump petrol is built for the wrong job

Pump petrol is built for cars that are driven every day. A chainsaw, a mower or a classic that sits all winter gets the worst of it: ethanol that absorbs water, gum that blocks carburettors, and exhaust you breathe standing right next to it.

VP alkylate fuel is made from the cleanest fraction of the refinery. It is virtually free of benzene and aromatics and contains no ethanol.

02 — FORESTRY

Standing in the exhaust plume for hours

Forestry operators work in the exhaust plume for hours. Low-emission fuel is standard practice in the Nordics — virtually no smoke and a fraction of the harmful substances in the exhaust, which matters when the engine is a metre from your face all day.

03 — GARDEN & LANDSCAPING

No smell, easy starts after winter

Professional crews and homeowners get the same chemistry: no exhaust odour on your clothes, in the garage or in the van, and a fuel stable for years in a sealed can — the mower starts in April the same way the classic starts after winter.

The 2T version comes pre-mixed at 50:1 with synthetic ester oil. Nothing to measure.
