PURFUELS ISOBUTANOL (99%) 5 Gallon Pail

Isobutanol is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild, characteristic alcoholic odor. It blends seamlessly with racing fuels and maintains stability across temperature ranges without absorbing moisture from the air—a critical advantage over ethanol-based alternatives. The chemical's low corrosivity and compatibility with standard fuel system materials make it ideal for long-term storage in fuel cells between race weekends.

A key technical advantage is its effect on vapor pressure—isobutanol has a lower vapor pressure than ethanol, which means it contributes less volatility when blended into gasoline. This results in a more stable fuel blend across varying temperatures and atmospheric conditions, reducing the risk of vapor lock in high-heat racing environments while maintaining compliance with fuel volatility regulations

Why Choose 99% Isobutanol Over E85?

While E85 is a popular choice for high-octane performance, 99% Isobutanol offers critical chemical advantages that eliminate the classic headaches of ethanol-blended racing fuels.

1. Significantly Higher Energy Density

The Isobutanol Advantage: Isobutanol packs roughly 30% more energy by volume than ethanol.
The Racing Benefit: You get a much higher energy content per gallon, resulting in superior fuel economy and a lower volume demand on your fuel delivery system compared to E85.

2. Drastically Lower Fuel Consumption

The Isobutanol Advantage: Isobutanol operates at a much leaner stoichiometric Air-Fuel Ratio (AFR) than E85 (closer to standard gasoline).
The Racing Benefit: You burn less fuel per lap. This allows for reduced vehicle weight (smaller fuel cell required) and fewer pit stops during endurance racing.

3. Zero Moisture Attraction (Non-Hygroscopic)

The Isobutanol Advantage: Unlike ethanol, which aggressively absorbs water from the air, Isobutanol does not pull moisture into the fuel system.
The Racing Benefit: Eliminates the risk of phase separation, fuel degradation, and tank corrosion during storage. You can leave it in the cell between race weekends without worry. Works in combination with NITROMETHANE.

4. Complete Fuel System Compatibility

The Isobutanol Advantage: Isobutanol is far less corrosive than ethanol and behaves similarly to conventional hydrocarbons.
The Racing Benefit: It is safe for standard rubber lines, seals, injectors, and aluminum fuel system components that E85 typically degrades over time.

5. Superior Blend Stability

The Isobutanol Advantage: Isobutanol easily and permanently mixes with standard racing gasolines without settling.
The Racing Benefit: Provides a perfectly uniform blend across all temperatures, ensuring consistent tuning, predictable timing maps, and reliable power delivery.

Summary for Tuners: Isobutanol delivers the high-octane, cool-burning benefits of an oxygenate, but without the massive flow requirements, fuel system corrosion, and water-absorption issues of E85.

Shipping Methods

Orders placed on our website are shipped via UPS, USPS or LTL freight from our warehouse and retail store in Houston, TX. The specific item or combination of items you’re purchasing will determine which shipping options are available during checkout. We ship Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM CST, major holidays and severe weather events excluded.

Nitromethane

Our 53-gallon drums of nitromethane are shipped via LTL freight and require a DHS registration number and your photo identification. We will contact you after you’ve placed your order to get this information from you and to arrange delivery.

However, our quarts, gallons, and 42-gallon drums of nitromethane do not require a DHS registration number or photo identification.

Fuel Pails

When purchased in quantities of 3 or less (depending on destination), our 5-gallon fuel pails will ship via UPS Ground and have a flat-rate hazmat shipping fee, which is currently $44 for each pail. If you're ordering 4 or more pails, it becomes more cost-effective to ship via LTL freight. This is automatically calculated for you during checkout and you'll be shown the best, most cost-effective shipping options based on the items you're purchasing and their destination.

If you have any questions, concerns, or special circumstances for delivery, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at (281) 447-7200, email sales@hyperfuels.com, or send us a message from our contact us page.

Kegs, Drums, & IBC Totes

Orders that include 1 or more of our kegs, drums, or IBC Totes will ship via LTL freight. Based on the specific items in your order and their destination, we check shipping rates from over 20 different carriers and present you with the best, most cost-effective shipping option during checkout.

Local Pickup

If you are in or near Houston, TX, you can save on shipping costs and pick up your items from our retail store located at 2415 S. Dairy Ashford C9, Houston, TX 77077. Simply select “Pick Up” for the delivery method during checkout.

We will contact you by phone or email as soon as your order is ready. You can pick up your order from our office space and retail store, which is located behind the gated area of U-Haul, Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM CST, or Saturday by appointment only. It's best to call first to let us prepare your order and have it ready for your arrival. Please pre-order drums. We can load drums, kegs, or pails into your vehicle or trailer for you.

**IMPORTANT** An ACCESS CODE is necessary to enter our place of business, so please call (281) 447-7200 ahead to place your order and/or get the access code.

Processing Time

Nearly all orders placed by 3PM CST, Monday through Friday (other than official holidays or severe weather events), will ship the same day or within 24 hours. Orders placed after 3PM CST on Friday or during the weekend will ship on the next business day. During severe weather events or other peak holiday shipping periods, please understand our processing and response time may be delayed.

Shipping Delays

Please note that our shipping partners, at times, can experience shipping delays. We will do everything we possibly can to make sure your order arrives at its destination as soon as possible. However, once a package ships, there can be factors outside of our control that may come up.

As a policy, we do not offer refunds for delays caused by one of our shipping partners. That said, we know how important it is for your items to be delivered on time and we will do everything possible to make sure that happens.

Please feel free to contact us at (281) 447-7200 anytime should a delay occur.

Delivery Dates

While we have control over when we ship your order out (unless there's severe weather), we trust our shipping partners to get it to its final destination, but we can’t in good conscience guarantee a delivery date. If your order is shipping via UPS or USPS, an estimated delivery date will be shown during checkout.
