anyone know what this "nitrogen enriched" gas from shell is all about. did someone pee in their gasoline or is this legit????

 

i think it's legit. i saw a few commercials on it yesterday. it's a brand "New" gas thats out. suppos to help your engine and give you better gas mileage. and i think it's suppost to cool your engine down? not sure.

news to me.

 

Welp if someone gets the Nitrogen gas, Tell us about it!.

 

i'm pretty sure this gas is just like the stuff they offer from BP the Invigorate fuel.

 

so it shouldnt hurt my engine then.

I will try some next fill up then

 

I need gas and there is a shell on my way home. I will fill it up with V-power.

They apparenly tested it on DI and turbocharged engines so it should be just fine.

 

all they did was change the additive package, supposedly a better cleaning agent for DI cars because the valves can't be cleaned with the fuel mix anymore

who knows?

 

Well I have about half a tank in the car and I only full up at shell so we will see. And my car only sips on 93 octane so I guess we will see

 

"...In addition, Shell V-PowerŽ premium gasoline provides maximum protection with the highest concentration of the Nitrogen Enriched cleaning system and more than five times the minimum amount of cleaning agents required by federal government standards..."

Five times the amount? My car runs off of gas guys, not cleaning agents. Make sure you leave some gas in there too.

 

i want more octane for more boost not cleaning agents

 

I am half way through a tank of v power right now..

Don't really notice a difference really. It doesn't seem to be burning too fast though. I will check my fuel mpg later.

 

this sounds like good news to me.

 

I like how they advertise this to clean valves, well guys sorry to break it to you but our fuel is injected in the combustion chamber not the intake ports so that is pointless

 

Read post #8 please.^^^^

 

Read my post again i never said it wasn't safe just that it is pointless

 

I'm going to kill you^^^

 

just read the rating on the fuel if it is rated rm+2 then 91 octane is really more like 93 i wonder what the rating is maybe ill go check the site out.

 

I think the only thing that could possibly put some build up on our valves would be the pcv valve?

 

thats what they use to run plasma torch. nitrogen and oxygen = fricken hot burn. plus nitrogen is like -200 some odd degrees, im wondering how they add it in there without it freezing everything.

 

Do they claim more power cause i've heard of some people using some sort of nitrogen system with gasoline and gaining upwards of 20% more power.

 

They probably bonded it with some other neutral chemical. Like water is H2O.... we think of oxygen like in the air we breathe, but we all know it's in water too. I'm betting it's a similar thing they have done with the Nitrogen.

 

nitrogen is inert so i dont know how it could ad power

 

it is but once u mix it with oxygen it burns. actually at work, nitrogen and oxygen powers both the plasma and the laser.
