Course not - how the hell they gonna get a Saturn 5 under the forecourt canopy  . K

 

Fill it up with fuel cans! If the customers i went out to on the AA are anything to go by, you can get to the moon and back on 5 litres!

 

(Well, they thought they could.. until they ran out on the M25 and muggins here went out to rescue them.)

The main thing is what problems am I likely to encounter by using E10 in a 50 year old car? Will it be simply gaskets and pipes leaking or perforation of brass and aluminium bits in the fuel system? Or something much worse?

 

I have so far risked not having hardened valve seats and have retarded the ignition to prevent pinking without problems as I travel few miles and quite sedately in it.

I thought you'll still have e5 premium for cars below 2011 , E10 for above . So no one should have any problems apart from more expensive.

I've been running unleaded in my Spitfire for years without changing the head, although I usually put some additive in.

I believe the problem is the water which the ethanol absorbs, can then cause corrosion of fuel tank, carb, fuel lines depending on what material. Aluminium probably not protected so pitting corrosion is a risk.

If there is still anyone  even remotely interested in whether Ethanol causes problems in small engines in America , because of triggers input it seems there are 2 options .  Option 1 . by a ticket and jump on a plane and fly to America . Hire a car and drive around to as many small engine dealerships/service agents as you can and get them to show and tell .  Option 2 . Google it which will then take you to youtube were the same service agents will show and tell on a video .  Option 1 is costly and time consuming . Option 2 you don't have to get off your arse .  Should you choose option 2 please be aware it is the " framed / loaded "  option !  However whichever option you should choose you will get the same fcucking answer .   Yes  it does .
