Gulf Pro Fuels FAQ

Gulf Pro Fuels has been developed as an alternative fuel to pump petrol, for use in all small 2 stroke and 4 stroke spark ignition engines. Gulf Pro Fuel is an ‘alkylate fuel’ made in a special process which produces a clean burning fuel similar in combustion properties to petrol but without the dangerous substances such as benzene and aromatic hydrocarbons. Gulf Pro Fuel also stays fresh for many years unlike petrol which goes stale in a matter of a few months. In short, it is an ‘environmental fuel’

Gulf Pro Fuels are made in Europe

The main ingredient of Gulf Pro Fuels fuel is Alkylate.  Alkylate is the purest form of petroleum.  We hand blend the Alkylate product with other components to form Gulf Pro Fuels. 

 

Gulf Pro Fuels are free of benzene, Sulphur, ethanol and other aromatic hydrocarbons.  These substances can be found in many of the pump fuels. 

 

The engine benefits from lower carbon deposits leaving the inside of the engine cleaner. 

 

Because Gulf Pro Fuels contains no ethanol, Gulf Pro Fuels can be stored either in the can or even the engines fuel tank.  Even after long periods of sitting, the engine will start with easily. 

 

Additionally, there are many environmental benefits to using Gulf Pro Fuels over standard pump petrol. 

Your engine will experience easier starts and may see some small improvements in performance.
