Shell’s V-Power Nitro+ Premium gasoline contains a combination of two key cleansing agents that perform better than the component used in the previous formulation of Shell V-Power. This innovation allows the inclusion of a new and innovative component, designed to prevent wear in critical engine parts.  Shell’s new Premium fuel also helps to protect critical parts in the combustion system against corrosion and destroys harmful gunk that lower quality Premium gasolines leave behind; it acts as a shield to protect against gunk, wear and corrosion.
