The latest generation of additives can significantly reduce the friction of engine parts and viscosity in order to optimize fuel consumption and improve reliability at high pressure and temperature. Following the big demand from all the drivers around the world, RB have decided to develop a special pre run fuel, especially adapted for the first rounds of your brand new engine. During the break in period, the internal parts of the engine suffer from friction due to the very precise tolerances of micro engine parts. Because the engine is brand new, it has to be adjusted very rich and as a result is always low in temperature. This new RB break in fuel include special oils and additives making the lubrication of the engine better at lower temperature. After 2 liters of the RB pre run fuel, your engine will be in perfect condition to be used with normal fuel and will last longer.
