Why Use an Ethanol-free Fuel?

As many classic car, bike and also boat owners have discovered, modern unleaded petrol is hygroscopic. The reason for this is the mandatory inclusion of ethanol in all premium unleaded and most super unleaded forecourt fuels. The current level of ethanol in premium unleaded is 10% – hence the name E10. This means that the future is not bright unless the fuel systems are newer than 2002 or have been updated to cope with ethanol-blended fuels.

High levels of ethanol in petroleum fuel results in increased moisture levels, which is likely to cause rust and corrosion in the fuel system. This badly affects carburettors and fuel lines, as the ethanol itself is also corrosive to aluminium, bronze and zinc typically found in carburettors. Both these issues are compounded by long periods of non-usage.

CFS Storage 5-Star is specifically formulated to be kinder on gaskets, O-rings and other fuel system components compared to unleaded petrol. It also contains detergent additives for engine cleanliness, as well as antioxidants and corrosion inhibitors to extend storage life. When stored in airtight, opaque fuel containers, Storage 5-Star should remain storage stable for 3-5 years.

CFS Storage 5-Star burns extremely cleanly and its 103 RON and 98 MON provides excellent protection from detonation. A carefully calculated amount of TEL (lead) has been added to ensure that vintage vehicles are protected from valve seat recession and/or damage to valves.

    FAQs

    WHAT DOES CLASSIC FUEL SOLUTIONS FORMULA 105 CONTAIN?

    Classic Fuel Solutions Formula 105 is a ready to use ethanol free bespoke leaded fuel for ALL classic engines, cars and motorbikes, which were originally designed to run on leaded fuel.

    WHY IS ETHANOL REMOVED FROM CLASSIC FUEL SOLUTIONS FORMULA 105 FUEL?

    Ethanol in fuel attacks older fuel systems resulting in expensive repairs. Ethanol absorbs moisture from air and from the fuel supply chain. The impact of this is that corrosion can occur causing damage to the fuel system. Fuel containing ethanol also impairs drivability and increases fuel consumption. Classic Fuel Solutions Formula 105 provides its customers with worry free ownership of classic racing cars and motorcycles.

    WILL YOUR FUEL HELP MY CAR STOP PINKING?

    Classic Fuel Solutions Formula 105 has a 105-octane rating which is higher than any current forecourt fuel. Octane is a measure of petrol’s resistance to “pinking” – where the fuel ignites under compression independently of the spark plug. Trials have confirmed a significant reduction in pinking when using our Classic Fuel Solutions Formula 105. This blend of fuel helps reduce pinking, also this blend of fuel helps reduce vapour locking.

    WILL CLASSIC FUEL SOLUTIONS FORMULA 105 PROTECT MY VALVE SEATS?

    Classic Fuel Solutions Formula 105 is a leaded fuel that will protect your original, unmodified valve seats just the same way that fuel used to. You can use Classic Fuel Solutions Formula 105 confident in the knowledge that your engine will perform the way it was designed to.

    HOW LONG CAN I KEEP THE FUEL IN THE SYSTEM?

    Classic Fuel Solutions Formula 105 has absolutely no ethanol present and contains a unique blend of additives that means it has a shelf life of 3 – 5 years. You won’t need to drain your fuel system in between outings or deal with the issues that can develop where ethanol meets moisture. The fuel will also remain stable in our sealed Jerry Cans or Barrels.

    CAN CLASSIC FUEL SOLUTIONS FORMULA 105 BE USED IN ENGINES FITTED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTOR OR LAMBDA SENSOR?

    It is strongly recommended that you DO NOT use Formula 105 in engines fitted with either a catalytic convertor or lambda sensor. This bespoke fuel is not compatible with either of these.
