Ethanol in petrol

Wow that report makes tragic reading.

I do hope the government is not seriously expecting the historic vehicle owners to upgrade their vehicles to be compatible with E10. This report sounds like it.

Apparently a supplier of parts to historic motorcycles (who) is undertaking testing for this very thing? They surely must understand we need E0 for ever, even if its more expensive.

Maybe we should organise a letter writing to MP's campaign.

E5 had been snuck in with no warning whatever in the UK and the petrol companies don't even have to label the pumps as such.

They are even lobbying to avoid having to label pumps dispensing E10 so it looks like it will just creep in without any means of identifying it.

You will definitely know you've got E10, old Honda's won't run on it period. Nor will any classic cars or bikes unless you fit fuel injection. Disasters are looming and owners in the main have no idea about it.
