Minimum methanol purity
99.95%
ultra-high purity racing methanol
99.95% minimum purity helps ensure clean combustion, consistent tuning behaviour, and reduced contamination risk in high-demand racing applications.
Why Purity Matters in Racing Methanol?
Purity refers to the absence of contaminants such as water, hydrocarbons, and trace impurities within the methanol. Higher purity ensures consistent combustion, stable tuning, and maximum power output, while reducing the risk of corrosion, misfires, or unpredictable air-fuel ratios under load.
packaging standard
The Most Overlooked Component
Methanol purity isn’t just about how it’s produced, it’s about how it’s stored. M1 is packaged in lined drums with an internal sealing layer that prevents rust, corrosion, and metal contamination from entering your fuel system.

Methanol is highly sensitive. Without proper containment, purity degrades before it ever reaches the engine. Fuel quality is only as strong as the packaging that protects it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When using high-performance Methanol racing fuels like VP M1 or VP M5, it is crucial to consider the use of an Additive. M2 our signature upper cylinder Lubricant additive can offer added protection against wear and corrosion, as well as aid in maintaining engine efficiency and power output. M2 can potentially enhance engine reliability, optimize performance, and prolong the life of race engines. M2 can be found HERE

VP M1 stands as 99.5% pure methanol, meeting legal standards for all motorsport applications. On the other hand, VP M5 is meticulously crafted for amplified horsepower and torque, although it isn't entirely pure methanol.

Notably, VP M5 outperforms other racing methanol's in power. It's important to note that tuning adjustments are necessary when switching from M1 or pure methanol to M5. Additionally, ensure that the use of VP M5 complies with the regulations in your racing category or class.

Methanol racing fuel grade offers several advantages, including higher octane ratings, improved engine cooling properties, and the potential for increased horsepower. It also burns more cleanly than traditional gasoline, reducing emissions and minimizing carbon build-up in the engine.

Currently Methanol Racing Fuel is not offered online, due to it being a dangerous good. However it is available for pick up and delivery, upon an in-store visit or contacting us. Alternatively see the Reseller link here to view nearby resellers in your local area.
