That’s what that person on YouTube is saying there is kerosene in the petrol it shows him setting a light to it so perhaps that’s what’s in the petrol I bought from esso causing my car not to run right or the E5 petrol is contaminated with E10 petrol as that would cause my car not to run right

Doubt you'd even notice if it did have E10 content.

Which car, engine and carbs are they.

Evidently 'Esso Synergy Supreme+ 99' is  ethanol free and they sell it at the Tesco garage closest to me.

Don't shoot me if I am wrong ... just read about it on another forum.

Or possibly crap in the tank of the car he sold you?

I have read similar though it's also dependent on the refinery source. Refineries in the North of the country it appears are Ethanol free in SUL in the south the SUL is E5.

Update This is not just Esso but She'll & BP.
