Product Information
Full details
Millers Oils VSPe Power Plus is designed for owners of classic and historic vehicles whose engines were originally built for leaded fuel. It provides essential protection against the challenges of modern unleaded fuels, including valve seat recession, detonation, and ethanol damage, ensuring your classic engine runs smoothly and reliably. A potential caveat is that its octane boost is moderate, so extremely high-performance engines may require supplementary octane enhancers.

FAQs
What is VSPe Power Plus used for?
VSPe Power Plus is a fuel additive designed for classic and historic vehicles whose engines were built for leaded fuel. It protects against valve seat recession, detonation, and ethanol damage from modern unleaded fuels.
How much VSPe Power Plus should I use?
One 250ml bottle is sufficient to treat up to 50 litres of fuel. Add it to the tank before refuelling for best results.
Can I use this in my modern car?
This product is specifically formulated for older engines designed for leaded fuel. While it likely won't harm a modern engine, it is not optimized for them and its benefits would be negligible.
Does it replace the need for leaded fuel entirely?
Yes, it provides lead replacement additives to protect valve seats, allowing older engines to run on unleaded fuel safely.
How much does it raise the octane rating?
VSPe Power Plus raises the fuel's octane number by 2 points (equivalent to 20 'on the road' octane points).
What happens if I use too much or too little?
Using too little may result in insufficient protection. While using slightly more than recommended is unlikely to cause harm, it is best to adhere to the dosage instructions for optimal performance and economy.
Will this product stop all ethanol-related problems?
It contains advanced additives to combat the adverse effects of ethanol, including corrosion and degradation of rubber components. It significantly reduces the risk of damage.
Troubleshooting
Engine performance seems unchanged.
VSPe Power Plus works by preventing long-term damage and subtle performance degradation. Benefits like preventing valve seat recession are not immediately visible. Ensure correct dosage has been used and that the engine is otherwise in good mechanical order.
Experiencing occasional knocking despite using the additive.
While VSPe Power Plus offers an octane boost, extremely high-performance or modified engines may require a higher octane rating. Check if the engine's requirements exceed the additive's capabilities. Consider a higher octane fuel or a more potent octane booster if detonation persists.
Additive bottle cap is difficult to open.
Ensure the cap is properly aligned and twist firmly. If it seems stuck, gently tapping around the cap might help. Always ensure the cap is securely closed after use to prevent evaporation or contamination.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Protects against valve seat recession common in older engines.
- Reduces the risk of detonation with its octane-boosting properties.
- Safeguards fuel systems from ethanol damage in modern fuels.
- Prevents general fuel system corrosion.
- Includes a carburettor anti-icing agent for smoother running in cold weather.
- Easy to use, concentrated formula.
Cons
- Octane boost is limited to 2 points; may not be sufficient for highly tuned engines.
- Requires regular addition to fuel for continuous protection.
- Primarily formulated for older engines; benefits for modern vehicles are minimal.
Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Add the required amount of VSPe Power Plus to your fuel tank before filling up with petrol. This ensures the additive mixes thoroughly with the fuel. The recommended dosage is one 250ml bottle for every 50 litres of fuel.
Compatibility: This product is specifically designed for classic and historic vehicles with engines originally intended to run on 4-star leaded fuel. It is compatible with E5 and E10 unleaded fuels. It is not intended for use in modern vehicles designed for unleaded fuel.
Care: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after use. Keep out of reach of children.
