What is Alkylate (fuel)?

Alkylate fuel is a type of high-octane gasoline that is produced by combining light olefins, such as propylene and butylene, with isobutane in a process called alkylation. Alkylation is a refining process that involves the introduction of alkyl groups (hydrocarbon chains) into the gasoline blend to improve its octane rating and enhance its performance.

What are the advantages of Alkylate fuel?

• Higher Octane rating, leading to lower engine knocking

• Contains significantly less Sulphur, Benzene, Olefins and Aromatics than standard fuel

• Contains no ethanol, leading to cleaner combustion and high-stability (long-term storage of up to 5 years is possible)

What can Alkylate fuel be used for?

Any 2-stroke or 4-stroke engine can use with Alkylate fuel.

• Environments where people are in the immediate vicinity of the exhaust fumes (eg. chain-saws, lawn-mowers), the health risk of those fumes declines

• Sport- and leisure vehicles, for example jet-skis and karts, as the cleaner burn of Alkylate fuel improves the longevity of the engines and minimizes the environmental impact. For larger vehicles (i.e. Yachts) it is important to check with the engine manufacturerer about the impact of low-aromatic fuel on the gaskets of the engine.
