Maybe new maybe not... but at $648.00 plus freight for a 55 gallon drum sure is expensive to tryout. If anyone's interested in splitting it let me know

Shell LM24 Diesel Racing Fuel
- Thread starter paint94979
- Start date
have any specs on it? VP is supposed to have some "race" diesel coming soon as well so I've heard.
I know a few tractor guys running Scheid fuel, makes more power hands down, but makes a pile of heat as well...... Cenpeco makes some nice additive as well. i belive the "outlaw" additve is what you wanna look for.
SHELL RACING FUEL – DIESEL LM24
Application
Shell Racing Fuel – Diesel LM24 is an advanced Diesel
race fuel designed to enable ideal combustion and highest
efficiency for race cars powered by modern Diesel
engines. It meets the relevant ACO regulation and the EN
590 road car fuel specification
Comments for Use
The fuel should be stored in closed preferably full fuel
containers under dry and cool conditions to maintain
maximum performance potential. In order to maintain
product quality please ensure supply and storage
conditions not below 0 degree Celsius.
Characteristics
This fuel has been carefully designed to deliver the right
balance of power, endurance, fuel economy and clean
emissions. A key ingredient at the heart of the fuel is
synthetic GTL Fuel, which is synthesized from natural gas to
have outstandingly clean and efficient combustion. This
advanced diesel race fuel was designed to continuously
clean and protect modern precision fuel injection systems.
Properties Typical Values
Density 830 - 835 kg/m3
Cetane Number 60 - 65
HFRR < 350 μm max
Sulphur < 10 ppm max
CFPP -3°C - -6°C -
Cloudpoint -3°C - -10°C
ACO Regulation
Density 820 – 845 kg/m3
Cetane Number 51 – 70
HFRR 350 μm
Sulphur 10 ppm

Caleb, any of those trucks Duramax's? I assume the trucks are p-pumped? I could be completely wrong however...
yeah your right, id have no problem trying it if both our trucks werent street drivin! i need to put dual tanks in the truck, ten bucks a gal is a lil steep to run oin the street!!
Nitrous and fuel are two different breeds. And no race fuel is not cheating and nitrous is not cheating but don't compare them. Nitrous is like having another turbo but in a bottle when ever you want it but limited to the size bottle you have and pressure that's in it. The fuel will run the same aslong as it's well full no pressure to deal with.
I can give you some in site on The Shell and Syn Diesel fuels. Both are made from Natural Gas instead of crude oil bases. Honestly your not going to see any huge improvements in power. Depending on the pump fuel you use you may not see a difference at all. US pump diesel is very good. The US is very strict about fuels which means a better quality fuel then you will get out of the US.
The big advantage to the Shell and Syn Diesel IMHO is the shelf life. Plain old pump diesel has a shelf life of around 12 months. Shell and Syn Diesels have a much longer shelf life.

X2 there is not much of a gain from it. As for power for money, its even worse...
IIRC Pat even did a test on some of these fuels a couple years ago and the results didnt seem all that great.
Keep us updated Nick, good to see people actually searching alternatives and things are always being improved. You might see better results than what was a year or 2 ago.
