VP Racing 4-Cycle Fuel: Ethanol-Free Small Engine Fuel

VP 4-Cycle Fuel is a 94 octane, ethanol-free fuel formulated specifically for 4-cycle small engines. Pump gas with ethanol attracts moisture, forms varnish deposits, and clogs carburetors, especially in equipment that sits between seasons. VP 4-Cycle Fuel eliminates that problem entirely. It stays stable for 2 years in the tank and 5 years sealed in the can, so your mower, generator, or snow blower starts when you need it, not after a carburetor rebuild.

Formulated with higher-grade base stocks by the same team that has been building world-class racing fuels for over 50 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does VP 4-Cycle Fuel replace a fuel stabilizer? Yes. Because VP 4-Cycle Fuel is ethanol-free and formulated with high-grade base stocks, it remains stable for 2 years in the tank and 5 years in the sealed container without any added stabilizer. You do not need to add STA-BIL or similar products when using VP 4-Cycle Fuel.

Is VP 4-Cycle Fuel safe for all 4-cycle engines? Yes. It passes the warranty requirements of all major 4-cycle engine manufacturers, including Briggs & Stratton, Kawasaki, Kohler, and Honda. It contains no oil and is compatible with all 4-cycle outdoor power equipment.

Why is ethanol bad for small engines? Ethanol is hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs moisture from the air. In small engine carburetors, that moisture accumulates in the float bowl, causing rust, corrosion, and gummy deposits that clog jets and prevent starting. Equipment that sits for weeks or months between uses is especially vulnerable. Ethanol-free fuel eliminates this failure mode entirely.

Can I use VP 4-Cycle Fuel in a 2-cycle engine? No. VP 4-Cycle Fuel contains no oil and is not suitable for 2-cycle engines, which require a premixed oil-and-fuel blend. For 2-cycle equipment, use VP's 50:1 Fuel Mix.

What sizes does VP 4-Cycle Fuel come in? VP 4-Cycle Fuel is available in 1 quart, 1 gallon, 2.5 gallon pail, 5 gallon pail, and 54 gallon drum.
