Fuel stabiliser

[sandspider]

Will keep an eye out for it, thanks

 

In theory though, fuel stabilisers contain detergents and other things to clean and nourish fuel systems, not just things to eliminate ethanol?

 In your 4 strokes aspen will be fine irrelevant what you have previously been using.

Not so sure about this . I am a big fan of alkylate fuels but some 4 stroke engines still have rubber components in the fuel system so the same reasoning could apply .

If you have an hour to spare, check out your local esso stations. A large number of them (but not all) sell thr esso premium unleaded, which is ethanol free, so no need for a load of stabilisers or aspen anyway.

 

A quick google may well tell you of your nearest ethanol free esso station. I will check, but even if ethanol free, they do put e5 of the pumps so I believe

 

Whose "E5" is really "E0" ethanol free? - Page 1 - General Gassing - PistonHeads UK

is it still the case that Esso Synergy+ in England is ethanol free? Specifically near Luton? Im travelling for work and have brought some empty fuel cans, in case!

Thanks

"Although our pumps have E5 labels on them, our Synergy Supreme+ 99 is ethanol-free (except, due to technical supply reasons, in Devon, Cornwall, North Wales, North England and Scotland). Legislation requires us to place E5 labels on pumps that dispense unleaded petrol with ‘up to 5% ethanol’, including those that contain no ethanol." ref ESSO.co.uk website

My local Esso station just "rebranded" to Texaco!

Texaco Supreme 99 Performance Plus (99 Octane) came out at 0% Ethanol in one test but a bit of a lottery what percentage of Ethanol brands might have it seems.
