1. Product Introduction & Main Application
Arnico’s P.A.M Gasoline Grade KS10 is a fully synthetic, ultra-advanced racing fuel with a very high octane number (RON > 110) and a specialized oxygenate package, designed for use in Formula One cars, Le Mans racing, and light aviation engines. As the ultimate racing fuel, it creates maximum volumetric power and intake charge cooling, placing engine performance at the cutting edge of technology.

3. Features & Benefits
-
Infinite Knock Resistance (RON > 110): Absolute resistance to knock, even at the highest turbocharger pressures and most extreme compression ratios.
-
Internal Charge Cooling: An exceptionally high latent heat of vaporization reduces intake air temperature and increases charge density (Volumetric Efficiency).
-
Oxygen-Rich Combustion: An oxygenated formulation guarantees a more complete and faster burn, producing maximum torque.
-
Unmatched Thermal Stability: Resistance to decomposition at the high temperature of the combustion chamber, preventing the formation of carbonaceous deposits.
4. Industrial Applications
-
Formula 1 & Grand Prix Racing: A fuel approved in accordance with FIA technical regulations.
-
Light Aircraft & UAVs: Fuel for high-compression, high-performance piston aviation engines.
-
Land Speed Record Vehicles: Specialized fuel for world land speed record attempts.
-
Extreme Turbocharged Engines: Use in extreme aftermarket tuning applications (over 1000 hp).
5. Safety & Handling
-
MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet): This fuel is extremely volatile, flammable, and toxic. It has a very high dissolving power and is rapidly absorbed through the skin. The Arnico MSDS must be studied.
-
Storage Conditions: Store exclusively in completely sealed, specialized containers under a nitrogen blanket, in a refrigerated and dark environment. It has a limited shelf life and must be consumed within the specified period.
-
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): The use of full fire-retardant clothing (Nomex III), Viton gloves, a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), and sealed goggles is mandatory.
6. Quality Assurance & COA
Arnico KS10 shipments are accompanied by a technical passport and a precise Certificate of Analysis (COA) from comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC) and an FIA-specific test
