FAQs
Can I use VSPe Power Plus in my modern car?
No, VSPe Power Plus is specifically formulated for classic and historic vehicles designed to run on leaded fuel. Modern engines have different requirements and may not benefit from or could be negatively affected by this additive.
How much VSPe Power Plus should I use?
The general recommendation is 10ml of additive per litre of fuel. Always refer to the product packaging for the exact dosage instructions for your specific needs.
What is valve seat recession?
Valve seat recession is wear that occurs in older engines when leaded fuel, which provided lubrication and cooling for the valve seats, is replaced by unleaded fuel. VSPe Power Plus contains lead replacement additives to prevent this.
Will this additive make my car run like new?
VSPe Power Plus is designed to protect your engine from the negative impacts of modern fuels and maintain its original performance characteristics. It does not add power beyond restoring what may have been lost due to fuel-related issues.
How often should I use VSPe Power Plus?
It is recommended to use VSPe Power Plus with every tank of fuel to ensure continuous protection for your classic vehicle's engine.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored correctly in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, the product typically maintains its efficacy for several years. Check the batch code or manufacturer's recommendation for specific details.
Troubleshooting
Engine performance seems rough after adding.
Double-check that the correct dosage was used. Over- or under-dosing can occasionally affect performance. Ensure the additive has fully mixed with the fuel by driving a short distance after refueling.
Fuel system leaks observed.
While VSPe Power Plus protects against ethanol degradation, if existing rubber components are already severely degraded, leaks may still occur. Inspect and replace any worn fuel lines or seals as necessary.
Difficulty in accurately measuring small quantities.
Use a calibrated measuring syringe or a dedicated fuel additive measuring bottle for precise dosing, especially for smaller fuel tank capacities.
