- PurposeFor vehicles
This demonstration depicts the journey Shell V-Power makes after a car pulls up at a forecourt pump and the liquid makes its way into the fuel tank. It shows in graphic detail how the fuel travels from the tank to the pump, through to the fuel filter, injector, valves and piston, actively cleaning the car's engine as it goes.
Ferrari fuel for the road
We work closely with the Ferrari team in Formula One to develop the highest performance Shell V-Power race fuels. These learnings are used to develop Shell V-Power fuels for road cars, to help power and protect them worldwide.
From track to road
A dedicated team of our scientists use the Formula One environment as a laboratory. We work on many factors that affect a car's engine, then use these insights when formulating Shell V-Power fuels, helping to benefit drivers in many countries.
Shell V-Power engine demonstration
What you are about to view is an animated demonstration of the journey Shell V-Power fuels take through a car's fuel system. This will give you a first-hand insight into the effect Shell V-Power is designed to have on an engine, bringing into life the potential benefits of Shell V-Power cleansing and Friction Modification Technology formulation.
Shell V-Power: Formulated for powerful cleaning
Shell V-Power contains powerful cleaning agents, designed to prevent the formation of power-robbing deposits which can impact on responsiveness. Shell V-Power is formulated to help remove existing deposits that other fuels may have left behind, to help new engines run smoothly for longer, and to help rejuvenate older engines.
Friction Modification Technology: designed to help deliver more power
Shell's unique Friction Modification Technology formulation is designed to create a molecular film that helps reduce this friction. If friction is reduced, then more of the fuel's energy is available to power the vehicle, helping to improve performance from the first fill.
Shell V-Power, Ferrari fuel for the road
Shell V-Power has been formulated by the Shell scientists who developed Ferrari's Formula One race fuels. Shell V-Power's unique cleaning agents and FMT have been formulated to help increase an engine's responsiveness and improve driving performance.
