Getting the Most out of your sled

It’s that time of the year again. The temperatures have dropped and that white stuff has made its yearly appearance just in time for some winter fun. While some choose to hit the slopes, there are those looking for a different style of adrenaline rush. The snowmobile is there for them, a great way to spend a weekend when the beach simply isn't an option. Preparing your sled for the winter sports season is imperative to reduce weekend headaches.

Similar to prepping a car or truck for winter, there are several things that need to be maintained on your sled before it’s first winter trek. One of those specifically is the fuel system. Adding a high octane fuel to your tank is a perfect way to get your engine firing on all the right cylinders!

Check out some tips for using higher octane fuels in snowmobiles for different engines and sled types. ⬇
Tips For High Octane Fuel

• 105 octane is a great standard grade of racing fuel. It's used in higher compression race engines with up to 13:1 compression and perfect for any application where cost is a factor.
• 107 octane is formulated for use in naturally aspirated engines with compression ratios up to 14:1 and works well in 2-strokes and is also a good lower-cost alternative.
• 108 octane is probably the best all-around racing fuel made. It's recommended for compression ratios below 15:1 and satisfies the needs of most modern race engines.
• VP's MR8 107 octane is for use in 2-stroke applications requiring high-octane values. This fuel is for optimum horsepower and performance.
• 91 octane is a perfect fuel application in most 2-stroke and some 4-stroke machines. Get in touch with us about what can work best for you.
