Elf Atmo Rallye

Current Formula One Spec Fuel - Unleaded

Drum sizes available: 200litre, 50litre

Applications

  • Complies with FIA regulations including Formula One
  • Especially blended for naturally aspirated racing engines running at high rpm.
  • Thanks to a selection of the most efficient petroleum streams having high combustion speed and improving volumetric efficiency, this fuel offers the best engine performances which can be achieved for natural aspirated engines with respect to the actual regulation.
  • Impressive torque and horsepower gains for high compression V8 race engines.

Reccomendations

  • Best results can be achieved for equivalent air/fuel ratios in the 1.12 to 1.18 range with reference to pump fuels, because of the oxygenate compounds used in the blending formula, generally speaking it is necessary to increase fuel ratio. Ignition setting must also be tuned in order to reach optimum performances.
  • In order to maintain the original properties, and according to Health and Safety regulations of commercial fuels, this gasoline shall be handled and stored in a cool place and always maintained in tightly shut drums.
  • The hydrocarbons selected to blend this fuel have in a certain extend, a propensity to knock. Consequently, this fuel is basically not suitable for 2-stroke engines.
