Click on the following questions to learn more about the new Shell V-Power.
-
Q: What is New Shell V-Power?
New Shell V-Power is a premium fuel designed for improved performance. With DYNAFLEX Technology, the reformulated fuel is designed to clean and protect your engine. The New Shell V-Power formulation targets a key enemy of engine performance and efficiency – dirt deposits and help to clean them away as you drive.
New Shell V-Power is also formulated with a new friction reducing ingredient, designed to help key engine components turn more freely – helping to reduce wasted energy.
-
Q: How is it different to the existing Shell V-Power unleaded fuel?
The new Shell V-Power now includes DYNAFLEX Technology that helps keep your engine clean and protected for efficient running*.
-
Q. What is DYNAFLEX Technology?
DYNAFLEX Technology is the name for our latest generation of advanced formulations for gasoline fuel, designed to clean and protect your engine. When we speak about “DYNAFLEX Technology” we mean the complex blends in our new formulations that Shell has specially designed and enriched with powerful cleaning agents to help maintain the cleanliness of key fuel system components and protect them from performance robbing deposits to help maintain engine efficiency*.
-
Q: Why is it being launched now?
Engine technology is changing rapidly as vehicle manufacturers continue to strive to increase efficiency. With engines size decreasing, modern and more efficient engines tend to expose fuels to tougher operating conditions. To keep pace with new engine technologies, we have developed new fuels that work effectively under these conditions to help maintain and restore engine performance. New Shell V-Power fuel formulation cleans and protects your engine, giving you our best for your car*.
-
Q: Did you have to reformulate the fuel because vehicle engines are changing?
This launch was not something we had to do – rather it was driven by our desire to meet the needs of customers and their cars and offer a choice at the forecourt. We wanted to develop our premium fuels to help meet the needs of modern and older engine technologies to continue to meet the needs of our customers . However, a big part of this involves adapting our products to the changing vehicle conditions they are required to work in. For example, modern vehicle engines create more challenging environments for fuels to perform than ever before. This creates greater potential for performance-robbing deposits to become stuck to key engine components such as the fuel injector nozzles. These can be hard to remove and can prevent your engine performing at its best.
-
Q: Why is engine cleanliness so important?
Modern vehicles deliver greater power and efficiency from smaller engines, which creates greater potential for carbon deposits to become stuck to the fuel injector nozzles. These dirt deposits can be hard to remove and can prevent your engine performing as its best.
-
Q: How does the reformulated Shell V-Power fuel help engine cleanliness?
DYNAFLEX Technology in the new Shell V-Power fuel is formulated to help remove performance-robbing deposits from your engine and prevent more from building up to deliver efficient running.
-
Q: What causes friction in a vehicle engine and why is it a bad thing?
Car engines comprise of a complex system of moving parts, which when running experience friction. Friction is caused by two (or more) surfaces in your engine rubbing together, such as in the piston ring pack. Whether you are an everyday driver or a Formula One ® driver, friction causes energy to be lost as heat, wasting previous energy that could be better spent powering your car. To help combat this, Shell’s new fuels formulation is designed to work under a wider range of conditions to help lubricate difficult parts of your engine turn more freely, helping performance and efficiency*.
-
Q: Does the new Shell V-Power fuel help engine efficiency?
By preventing the build-up of deposits and reducing energy waste, the new Shell Gasoline fuels are designed to help deliver engine efficiency. In fact, laboratory tests show that friction reducing molecules decrease energy wasted as heat. Less energy wasted helps improve engine efficiency.
-
Q: How was the new Shell V-Power fuel developed and tested?
The new Shell V-Power fuel has been developed by Shell’s international team of fuels scientists, the same scientists that develop the Shell V-Power race fuels for Scuderia Ferrari.
The final formulations are confidential but are the result of several years of development and testing, both in the laboratory using engine test beds and with real cars, as we continually seek to improve our Shell premium fuels.
-
Q: How many fuels scientists were involved in developing the new Shell V-Power fuel?
Shell has more than a century of experience in fuels development. We have approximately 120 fuels scientists and specialists across the globe working on fuel innovation, development and product implementation to meet the evolving needs of customers and their cars.
-
Q: Tell me more about the fuels testing process.
There is a whole range of test work that goes on in-house at Shell, right from the conception of an idea through to the delivery of the fuel to the retail stations. At first, this predominantly takes place in the lab as we investigate a vast array of formulations. The ones that look most promising go on to bench engine testing which uses industry standard tests where the engine is taken away from the vehicle and operated under tightly controlled conditions. This eliminates as many experimental conditions and variables as possible. After that, we test the fuel in real vehicles on a rolling road (chassis dynamometer), which represents road driving conditions but in a more tightly controlled environment. Finally, we go out and test our new products in a trial with real cars.
-
Q: Is the reformulated Shell V-Power fuel only to be used by high performance and/or new vehicles?
No, the new Shell V-Power fuel is designed for use in whatever type of gasoline car you drive – whether it is old or new.
-
Q: Will drivers feel a difference when using the reformulated Shell V-Power fuel?
Different engines and cars will respond differently to the technology in the reformulated Shell V-Power fuel, according to individual driving styles, engine design and conditions. Try it and see what it can do for you.
-
Q: Can the new Shell V-Power fuel deliver long term benefits to your vehicle?
Filling up regularly helps customers receive the performance and protection benefits that the new Shell V-Power fuels are designed to deliver. Regular fuels may, over time, cause deposits to build-up on critical fuel system components, such as petrol engine intake valves and diesel engine fuel injectors - which can rob engines of performance and efficiency.
-
Q: How often should drivers use the new Shell V-Power fuel to improve their vehicle’s performance?
Our new Shell V-Power fuel is designed to get to work on your engine from the very first tank fill. However, if the engine has been prone to carbon deposit formation, it will take time for these to be washed away by the cleaning agents in the fuels’ DYNAFLEX Technology. How long this takes depends on many factors, including the level and nature of any existing deposits. Filling up regularly helps customers receive the performance and protection benefits that the new Shell V-Power fuels are designed to deliver.
-
Q: If the new Shell V-Power fuels help to improve engine performance, does this mean they also help achieve greater speeds?
Speed is dictated by the driver, not the fuel, and everyone should follow the rules of the road to drive safely and responsibly.
* Helps to clean and protect key fuel system components such as intake valves and/or fuel injectors from the build-up of performance robbing deposits.
* Actual effects and benefits may vary according to vehicle type, vehicle condition and driving style.
