Cortec VpCI® 705 Multi Functional Fuel Additive 5 Gallon (19ltr Drums)

Cortec VpCI-705 is a high-performance, multi-functional fuel additive specifically designed for both petrol and diesel engines, serving as a corrosion inhibitor, fuel stabiliser, and water emulsifier. What truly sets it apart is its unique VpCI (Vapor phase Corrosion Inhibitor) technology, which provides multi-metal protection in liquid, interface, and vapor phases, even reaching inaccessible areas of your fuel system.

The VpCI technology works by releasing special vapor molecules that travel through the air within your fuel tank and system. These molecules then adsorb onto all metal surfaces, forming an invisible, thin protective film. This film acts as a barrier, preventing corrosive elements like oxygen, moisture, and various contaminants from coming into contact with the metal, thus stopping rust and corrosion in its tracks.

No, it's much more than just a rust preventative! Cortec VpCI-705 is a genuinely multi-functional product. Beyond its excellent corrosion inhibition, it also stabilises fuel, preventing degradation and maintaining its quality, and acts as a water emulsifier, helping to safely disperse any water present in your fuel. This all contributes to better engine performance and extended fuel system life.

Absolutely, Cortec VpCI-705 is formulated to be highly effective with both petrol (gasoline) and diesel fuels, including bio-fuel blends, gasohol mixtures, and even neat methanol fuel, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of vehicles and machinery.

Yes, it's designed with compatibility in mind. Cortec VpCI-705 is compatible with common engineering metals found in automotive fuel systems, such as aluminum, copper, cast iron, and various ferrous alloys. What's more, it also protects non-metal components like rubber gaskets, seals, and plastics from aging, oxidation, and cracking.

For in-use fuel tanks, you simply add Cortec VpCI-705 directly to your fuel. The typical dosage is a small amount, between 0.1% and 0.2% per volume of the fuel. This means you don't need much to get effective protection.

Yes, it's perfectly suited for that! Cortec VpCI-705 acts as an excellent fuel stabiliser, making it ideal for both operational use and long-term storage scenarios. It will help prevent fuel degradation and keep your tank and lines protected during periods of inactivity.

When storing dry fuel tanks, you can actually fog or mist the Cortec VpCI-705 concentrate into the tank. This method ensures that the VpCI vapors reach and protect as much of the internal surface area as possible. A common dosage is around 1.5 ounces per 10 U.S. gallons of tank volume.

Absolutely. The product is also effective for providing corrosion protection in gas and gas condensate transmission lines and collectors, even when contaminants like carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and electrolytes are present. It can be injected continuously or intermittently for robust protection.

By acting as a fuel stabiliser and preventing fuel degradation, Cortec VpCI-705 ensures that your fuel remains in optimal condition. This, combined with its ability to keep fuel system components free from corrosion and deposits, leads to better fuel delivery and ultimately improved engine performance.

While the primary focus of Cortec VpCI-705 is corrosion protection and fuel stabilisation, maintaining a clean and efficiently operating fuel system can indirectly contribute to better fuel economy. By preventing deposits and ensuring proper fuel combustion, your engine can run more efficiently.

Yes, it certainly does. Cortec VpCI-705 has water emulsifying properties, which means it helps to safely disperse and manage water that might be present in your fuel lines or tank walls, preventing it from causing corrosion or issues.

It offers broad-spectrum multi-metal protection, safeguarding a variety of common engineering metals. This includes steel, copper, aluminum, brass, tinplate, cast iron, solder, and various die-cast alloys.

No, a key advantage of Cortec VpCI-705 is that it does not leave behind any corrosive residue. The protective VpCI film is molecularly thin and doesn't interfere with fuel flow or engine operation.

Yes, it's designed to perform well in challenging conditions. The VpCI-705 formula provides robust corrosion protection even in the presence of aggressive contaminants such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and various electrolytes.

Absolutely. The VpCI technology provides active protection even during engine shutdowns, safeguarding components like cylinders, pistons, and rings when they are not in operation. This is crucial for preventing corrosion during storage or intermittent use.

By actively preventing corrosion, stabilising fuel, and keeping water at bay, Cortec VpCI-705 significantly reduces wear and tear on critical fuel system components. This proactive protection helps to extend the lifespan of your fuel tanks, lines, pumps, and injectors, saving you on potential repair and replacement costs.

Given its excellent multi-metal corrosion protection, water emulsifying properties, and effectiveness in both operation and storage, Cortec VpCI-705 is indeed a highly suitable choice for protecting marine engines and fuel systems, which are often exposed to challenging environments.

Definitely! Classic cars and motorcycles often sit for extended periods, making their fuel systems vulnerable to corrosion and fuel degradation. Cortec VpCI-705's fuel stabilising and corrosion inhibiting properties are perfect for preserving these vehicles during storage and ensuring they start up smoothly when needed.
