The New and Improved Shell V-Power fuels have been specially designed with powerful cleaning agents to help maintain the cleanliness of key fuel system components in both gasoline and diesel engines and protect them from performance-robbing deposits.^*B

Over time, deposits can form on components such as fuel injectors in diesel engines and intake valves or fuel injectors in gasoline engines. These deposits can prevent your engine performing as its best.

For example, if you think about a showerhead at home when limescale deposits build up in the showerhead the water pressure and your shower experience decreases. This is similar to how a fuel injector may be impacted by deposits. By preventing the build-up of these deposits, New and Improved Shell V-Power Fuels are designed to restore up to 100% of your engine performance and to perform at its best.^*B

Both modern and older engine technologies contain vital parts in the engine that can be impacted by performance-robbing deposits. New and Improved Shell V-Power targets these vital parts (fuel injectors for diesel and fuel injectors and inlet valves for gasoline), removing performance-robbing deposits. The fuel has been thoroughly tested in bench engines and real vehicles using industry standard and Shell proprietary tests, demonstrating that the fuel cleans 100% and prevents future build up on vital engine parts.^*B

The new Shell fuels including Shell V-Power fuels have been developed through research by Shell’s international team of fuel scientists, who also work in close collaboration with the team that develops Shell V-Power race fuels for Scuderia Ferrari, over the course of five years, leveraging both their expert knowledge and long heritage in innovation. The cleaning and engine performance recovery of the fuels have also been demonstrated through rigorous industry standard and Shell proprietary tests.^*B

There are many stages of testing before we’re ready to share a new product with our customers, from the conception of an idea – through to the delivery of the fuel – and finally to the pumps. The first round of testing predominantly takes place in the laboratory, where we investigate a vast array of formulations. The ones that look most promising then go on to bench engine testing, which involves an engine being taken out of a vehicle and being operated under tightly controlled test conditions – this eliminates as many experimental conditions and variables as possible.

After that, we test the fuel in a real vehicle, on a rolling road – otherwise known as a chassis dynamometer – which represents road driving conditions but in a more tightly controlled environment. The final stage of testing involves us using the products in a trial in vehicles under real road conditions.

Yes, filling up regularly helps customers receive the performance and protection benefits that the New and Improved Shell V-Power fuels are designed to deliver. Non-additivated fuels may, over time, cause deposits to build-up on critical fuel system components, such as petrol engine intake valves and fuel injectors and diesel engine fuel injectors, which can impact engine performance.^*B

Our New and Improved Shell V-Power fuels are designed to get to work on your engine from the very first full-tank fill. However, if the engine has been prone to carbon deposit formation, it will take time for these to be washed away with the fuel’s additive technology. How long this takes depends on many factors, including the level and nature of any existing deposits. Filling up continuously helps customers receive the cleaning, protection from deposit, and performance benefits^*B that the new Shell V-Power fuels are designed to deliver.

Shell fuels in Indonesia, including Shell V-Power series (Shell V-Power, Shell V-Power Diesel and Shell V-Power Nitro+), Shell Super, and Shell Diesel Extra all have the New and Improved Formulation.

Shell V-Power series (Shell V-Power, Shell V-Power Diesel, and Shell V-Power Nitro+) all have the new and improved cleaning agents that cleans 100% performance-robbing deposits and protects against future build-up on vital engine parts to fully rejuvenate your engine’s performance.

The New and Improved Shell V-Power offers protection by keeping your bike engine clean to meet the demands of a range of riding conditions in Indonesia, enabling motorbikes to run smoothly and efficiently.^{*B, I}

This New Technology is available in Greater Jakarta and West Java provinces starting from 20 June 2023 (for gasoline products) and will continue to be rolled out to other operating areas and diesel products in phases.

Consult your vehicle’s instruction manual to determine what fuel your vehicle manufacturer recommends. The section regarding fuel should tell you the minimum required octane (RON) rating that would work best with your vehicle. You can use fuel with a higher-octane rating to reduce the possibility of knocking.
