Edit - good article here . http://www.groups.tr-register.co.uk/...ol-update.html
It seems that just about everything is affected by it (Including nylon!). But - on the practical side it seems we are already using petrol with 5% ethanol and I haven't had any problems with the Sportster which has now been on the road over 3 years. So why should E10 (10%) be that much worse? If it is just twice as bad then perhaps in practice there isn't a big problem? |
I now need to lie down after reading all of that. I have no intention of changing the Sportster as it runs on the super unleaded, ( the no ethanol stuff).
My post was more about 'what fuel hose should I fit to pass the IVA in say 2 years from now'
Goodyear SAE30R9 is specifically designed for this application so seems the prudent choice.
Introduction of E10 in Germany is not going well, so the UK government might back off.......

But the UK government may have created a perfect scenario...
Introduce a rule that says that pre-1960 cars don't need an MOT and then introdcue a new fuel that dissolve their fuel lines!! Just perfect!!
