Description
Description
VP M5 is a high-performance methanol race fuel engineered to outperform standard methanol on power and consistency. M5 is formulated with upgraded combustion additives that improve vaporization, widen the acceptable air/fuel ratio range, and increase combustion speeds, giving tuners more headroom and racers more margin.
Use VP M5 for both drag racing and circle track applications. It is not pure methanol and will not pass a water test.

Frequently asked questions:
What is VP M5 race fuel? VP M5 is a high-performance methanol-based race fuel formulated with upgraded combustion additives to produce more power than standard methanol. It has a 111 (R+M)/2 octane rating, 48.13% oxygen content, and is approved for drag racing and circle track use.
Is VP M5 pure methanol? No. M5 contains combustion additives that improve vaporization and combustion speed. Because it is not pure methanol, it will not pass a water test. If your class requires pure methanol, use VP M1 instead.
What is the difference between VP M5 and VP M1? M1 is 99.95% pure methanol with no additives, making it legal for classes that mandate pure methanol. M5 is an enhanced methanol blend with combustion additives that deliver more power and a wider tuning range, suited for classes where additives are permitted.
What compression ratio is VP M5 designed for? M5 has a MON greater than 120, giving it strong detonation resistance. It is commonly used in high-compression drag and circle track engines where standard methanol is the base fuel class.
Does VP M5 require hazmat shipping? Yes. M5 is a flammable liquid and is subject to hazmat regulations. A shipping surcharge will be added at checkout and reflected in your shipping cost.
