OREANDA-NEWS. May 24, 2011. TNK-BP’s Saratov Oil Refinery has begun producing 95-octane gasoline under the Pulsar brand. Pulsar fuel is already on sale at TNK’s Saratov retail sites. Pulsar gasoline is fully compliant with the Euro 4 standard and is produced to specifications that exceed the Russian technical regulations on motor fuels, reported the press-centre of TNK-BP.

Compared to standard gasoline, Pulsar-95 is better for the environment, with a lower sulfur content resulting in less toxic emissions. The new fuel also contains a multi-purpose cleaning agent with additives that make the fuel less corrosive and reduce carbon deposition and, consequently, wear and tear on the engine parts.

“Almost every department of the Saratov Oil Refinery was involved in developing and putting this new fuel into production, so we were able to complete the task very quickly and to a high standard”, said Aleksandr Romanov, the refinery’s general director. “Puslar-95 is a fundamentally new and innovative product and motorists will really appreciate its technical performance.”
