VP Shipping Small Engine Fuel In Support Of Hurricane Sandy Victims

The VP Racing Fuels regional distribution center in Newark, Delaware prepared for the worst as the wrath of Hurricane Sandy approached their facility this past Monday.  Luckily, they made it through the high winds, heavy rains, and driving bans and shifted their focus to providing storm support on Tuesday.  From that day forward the VP Delaware team has spent a great deal of time and effort on shipping their VP Small Engine Fuel to customers throughout New England and the Mid-Atlantic regions.  This vital fuel has been shipped to fire departments, municipalities, and others to make sure that their gas-powered work can continue without interruption. 

VP’s Eastern Regional Manager Jim Kelly said, “Due to the storm, a tremendous number of power outages have occurred throughout the Northeast.  In those situations, generators are often used for back-up power, chain saws are critical for many things, including removal of trees from power lines, and all these tools require gasoline.  Pump gas may not be readily available, and if given a choice, ethanol-free VP Small Engine Fuel is better suited for sure starts and prolonged use without gumming. 

During these critical rescue efforts, the hard starts and fuel system problems caused by ethanol in pump gas are the last things you want to deal with.  We’ve been in contact with the Governor’s offices in the region to offer our assistance in any way possible.  We’ve shipped significant amounts of product to our usual supply lines but have a large inventory of VP-SEF^TM in place to serve anyone who may be in need.  If UPS or trucking companies can access your area we can get it there.” 

VP Small Engine Fuel is ethanol-free and formulated specifically for use in chain saws, generators, leaf and snow blowers and any other 2-cycle and 4-cycle outdoor power equipment.  Popular among fire and rescue, tree specialists and lawn care services across the United States, VP-SEF is available as an unleaded gasoline for 4-cycle equipment and premixed with oil for 2-cycle applications. 

VP-SEF is packaged in quart and 1-gallon containers, 5-gallon pails and drums.  VP Small Engine Fuel is available from VP direct and a growing number of distributors throughout the U.S. For more information or to place an order, contact VP Delaware at 302-368-1500 or vpatlantic@vpracingfuels.com.   More information is available online at VP-SEF.com.
