VP Aviation, inc Formed to Provide Unleaded Avgas

VP Racing Fuels Branches Out

VP Racing Fuels, Inc has announced the formation of VP Aviation, Inc, a new arm of the brand aimed squarely at providing unleaded fuels to general aviation.

The brand recently claimed to have passed a "major hurdle" in the FAA's Piston Engine Aviation Fuels Initiative (PAFI), saying their sample was "the first-ever such effort to enter into full-scale engine testing since the FAA's initiative to remove lead from aviation fuel began decades ago." Other unleaded avgas developers might have beaten them to the punch on that one, but their enthusiasm is understandable.

"Over the next 12 to 18 months", the company says, VP Aviation will have the "only fuel to secure FAA fleetwide authorization for high-octane, unleaded fuel in general aviation piston aircraft." They'll do a gradual release, they say, with an eye on eventually providing all 300 million gallons needed by worldwide GA aircraft.

"The formation of VP Aviation, Inc. is a response to this exclusive aviation fuel breakthrough," said Alan Cerwick, President & CEO of VP Racing and President of VP Aviation. "This new company will allow for rapid global commercialization of the new fuel."

"Passing Stage Gate III of the FAA's PAFI test plan moves this fuel into full-scale testing in a number of engines and aircraft that represent a broad spectrum of general aviation technologies and materials. VP will work with original equipment manufacturers, pilots, distributors, and regulatory bodies to seek authorization for the unleaded fuel for GA use to replace 100 Low-lead," Cerwick concluded.
