Fuels for Gas-Powered Drones and Other Unmanned Vehicles (UV’s)

VP Blends Consistent, Quality Specialty Fuels for Gas-Powered Drones and Other UV Applications

Gas-powered drones and other unmanned vehicles are growing in usage and popularity within within both the private and public sectors. As a result, the demand for specialty fuels has increased.

Unmanned vehicles (UV) represent an important and fast-growing transportation segment, driven by millions of dollars spent on R&D and production. Therefore, reliability is vital. For instance, they use gas-powered drones and other UV’s in mission-critical situations ranging from surveillance, delivering parts or medical supplies to troops in the theater to commercial package delivery.

However, most people power their UV’s with commodity fuels. To begin with, these fuels were never intended for critical use applications. Furthermore, use of commodity fuels can lead  to several potential issues, including inconsistent engine operation, dirty combustion, piston ring stick, and low reliability. VP Racing Fuels offers military and commercial customers a superior, consistent, purpose-blended fuel option. VP has blended specialty fuels for nearly 50 years, so your UV fuel quality will be one less thing to worry about.

We supply both commercial and military customers by providing the industry’s broadest array of fuel options and the ability to formulate custom fuels for specialty applications. To find out how VP Racing Fuels can meet your UV fuel needs, contact us.
