Turning Classics Green – Running a 1979 Ferrari 400 on P1 Fuels

I stumbled up on this website with an article from last year:

I was unaware what P1 fuel was all about but with AI I got the following response:

P1 fuels are 100% fossil-free, drop-in replacement synthetic and renewable e-fuels manufactured by the German green-tech company P1 Fuels. They work directly in standard internal combustion engines without requiring any car or fuel system modifications. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Key Characteristics

Drop-in Compatibility: Fully compliant with standard EN228 fuel regulations, meaning it works in regular road cars and classic vehicles without changes.
Lower Emissions: Reduces well-to-wheel CO2 emissions significantly compared to traditional fossil gasoline.
Composition: Formulated using bio-based components or captured atmospheric carbon combined with green hydrogen. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Major Uses

Motorsport: Serves as the official sustainable fuel supplier for major competitions like the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) and FIA Karting Championships. [1, 2]
Everyday & Classic Cars: Used to power legacy and modern internal combustion engines sustainably, famously utilized by drivers like Sebastian Vettel in classic Formula 1 cars. [1]


P1 Racing Fuel costs €4.35 per litre (plus VAT) for products like the SBX 54-litre can, while previously supplying official championship fuel (such as the WRC) at €6.96 per litre before changing suppliers. [1, 2]
