It has a 111 (R+M)\/2 octane rating, 48.13% oxygen content, and is approved for drag racing and circle track use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs VP M5 pure methanol?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between VP M5 and VP M1?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat compression ratio is VP M5 designed for?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes VP M5 require hazmat shipping?\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VP Racing Fuels, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"5 Gallon Pail","offer_id":68485106794747,"sku":"5842","price":74.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"54 Gallon Drum","offer_id":68485106827515,"sku":"5844","price":652.35,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/5893\/files\/VPRacingFuels5GallonM5_4f97a4ad-e249-4d5d-a004-d525f1efdb9a.jpg?v=1793979704","url":"https:\/\/www.pandamotorworks.com\/products\/vp-racing-m5-race-fuel-methanol","provider":"Panda Motorworks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
