Specialists at Millers Oils are advising kitcar owners with older, classic-type engines in their cars to protect them from the high ethanol content in modern fuels, following winter storage.
\nThe British oil developer\u2019s VSPe Power Plus additive reduces valve seat recession, fuel system corrosion and early detonation while providing an octane boost, enabling owners to get the most out of their vehicles. It also protects components from the aggressive nature of modern fuels.
\n\u201cThe level of ethanol in petrol is 5 per cent if allowed to rise to 10 per cent\u201d said Millers Oils\u2019 technical director, Martyn Mann. \u201cThe Ethanol will accelerate corrosion of almost all materials, partly due to its high oxygen content. It also attacks rubbers and plastics and can cause starting problems.
\nVSPe Power Plus deals with most of these challenges, as well as boosting the fuel\u2019s octane rating to help classic vehicles that were designed for high-octane fuels; 4 star was 98 octane, around the highest rating available for road cars today, and 5 star was 101 octane.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe product is one of three Millers Oils additives that have been endorsed by the Federation of British Historic Vehicles Club (FBHVC), receiving an \u2018A\u2019 rating for ethanol corrosion protection, following a 12-month evaluation.
\nThe others are EPS (ethanol protection) and VSPe (ethanol protection and lead replacement). The lead replacement can prevent costly valve seat recessions in engines that rely on the soft metal to cushion the valve impact, while VSPe Power Plus also provides an octane boost of up to 20 points.
\nThe additive is available in quantities of 250ml, to treat 40-litres of fuel and 500ml, to treat up to ten tankfuls. The 500ml bottle features a multi-shot function, making it easy to measure the 50ml needed to treat a 50-litre tank of petrol, enabling the owner to treat the fuel with ease as they fill up at the station.
\n\u201cClassic cars tend to be used most in summer, making additives a vital part of any owner\u2019s preparations. Remembering to add the recommended dose to every tank of fuel will help old cars (typically pre-2002) run more smoothly and help protect them from modern fuels,\u201d concludes Mann.
\nMillers Oils has made a strategic decision to focus on premium products where it believes its investments in regards to research and development will provide the greatest benefits to its customers.
\n\u201cWe recently invested \u00a3500,000 in our R&D centre to ensure we continue to develop market-leading, high-technology lubricants and fuel additives\u201d said Millers Oils\u2019 managing director, Steve Woollven. \u201cOur technical support and specialist services help customers improve their classic cars\u2019 reliability, efficiency and power, while protecting their investment.\u201d
