Diesel fuel is obviously the lifeblood of the diesel lifestyle. However, the stuff you get at a gas station barely scratches the surface of what the aftermarket can offer. Enter VP Racing and its TORQ line of diesel fuels, the latest of which is TORQ DX.

But what is TORQ DX? “TORQ DX is the second-generation diesel fuel that makes more power than the original TORQ,” said VP’s Donato Bonacquisto.

“The TORQ formula works well in truck and tractor pulling spec fuel opportunities and is currently the spec fuel for Outlaw Truck and Tractor Pulling Association Series,” he continued. “After much research and discussion, the racers voiced that they prefer TORQ DX for its consistency and easy starting. These fuels are used primarily in pulling series that utilize mechanical fuel pumps.”

Proof of this comes from Brian Scott of Prairie Performance. Having tested TORQ and TORQ DX side by side, he knows which one he prefers. “I saw a 15-20 horsepower increase across the whole RPM range, but it worked particularly well at drive the turbo on the bottom end,” he said.

Another review came from Jim Greenway of Baillie Diesel, who tested TORQ DX against his own custom, 10-years-trusted blend of No.2 diesel. “TORQ DX gave me a 30 horsepower increase on my 1,300-horsepower engine,” he said. “It did this while slightly lowering engine temperatures and keeping them more consistent across the RPM range. I have no doubt that this fuel will offer superior performance in tractor pulling, drag racing, road racing, or any other diesel application.”

With praise like that, it’s easy to see why TORQ DX is the next step in diesel fuel. For more information, head on over to VP Racing’s website and Facebook page.
