Fuel the feeling with Shell V-Power 98
Shell V-Power Unleaded 98. The premium fuel with the cleaning power to keep your engine running like new.
Cleans
Shell V-Power is formulated with powerful cleaning agents to help prevent the build-up of gunk on key fuel system components, such as fuel injectors and inlet valves*.
The same cleaning agents help to remove gunk that has been left behind by other fuels, so your engine can burn fuel more efficiently and more completely*.
Protects
Shell V-Power contains Friction Modification Technology (FMT), developed to reduce friction in the engine so it can operate more efficiently and deliver greater power to the wheels*.
FMT is also designed to form a protective film on metal surfaces, decreasing the rate of wear and corrosion that can adversely affect precision fuel system components*.

DESCRIPTION
An animated video that demonstrates how engine gunk can build up, and how Shell V-Power works to clean it away.
“GUNK” TRANSCRIPT
[Background music plays]
We hear the sound of a car’s engine and dramatic, energetic music.
[Animated sequence]
We see a computer-generated image of the front grille of a car, which has a badge with a gunk symbol.
We pull back to reveal the car is driving on a country road. The bonnet becomes transparent, and we zoom in to see the engine.
Inside the engine we see and hear the pistons working, and the ignition of fuel in the cylinders.
We zoom in further. In greater detail we see how the cylinders work, with the action slowed down to show the fuel inlet valves and the combustion process in motion.
We then see an extreme close-up view of deposits building up on valves.

We return to the detail of the cylinders working, with built-up gunk clearly visible and impacting the combustion process.

The screen splits in half. The dirty valves continue on the left side, while clean valves mimic the action on the right.

We see that combustion on the right (clean) side is more efficient. The right side takes over to fill the screen. The combustion process speeds up.

Inside the engine we see and hear the pistons working, and the ignition of fuel in the cylinders.
We zoom in. In greater detail we see the pistons moving up and down. The action slows to show the piston rings sliding against the cylinder walls.

The action slows right down as we zoom in to an extreme close-up detail of a piston ring working against the cylinder wall. A layer of yellow liquid separates the ring from the wall. Glowing white specks float through the liquid.

4 layers of defence* against:

Gunk is another name for carbon deposits that can build up on inlet valves and fuel injectors, which can make your engine work less efficiently. Shell V-Power provides unbeatable protection* against gunk.

*The science behind Unbeatable Protection, Best Protection, Greater Efficiency and Better Performance
As measured using industry standard and Shell proprietary tests, Shell V Power offers unbeatable protection against gunk and corrosion – it helps to protect key fuel system components such as intake valves and/or fuel injectors from the build-up of performance robbing deposits (gunk) and corrosion. It contains friction reducing molecules to help critical parts of your engine. Unbeatable protection against gunk and corrosion is measured using industry standard and Shell proprietary tests:
Gasoline testing supported by industry standard laboratory injector flow tests and bench engine tests. Multiple vehicle testing was derived from on-road testing from 10K km to 25K km. Unbeatable protection against corrosion based on the corrosion test outcome using industry standard laboratory tests.
Best protection against friction and wear is measured using industry standard and Shell proprietary tests. Helps to protect key fuel system components such as intake valves and/or fuel injectors from the build-up of performance robbing deposits.
Efficiency benefit refers to engine efficiency. Greater engine efficiency and performance compared to previous Shell V-Power fuel formulations and lower octane fuels in octane responsive vehicles, measured using industry standard and Shell proprietary tests.
Actual effects and level of benefits of the product in your vehicle may vary according to vehicle type, usage, vehicle condition and driving style.
