I've not extensively looked into this, but isn't the issue more related
to the rubber hoses than anything else? I thought the higher Ethanol
content will cause older rubber hoses to break down faster, but newer
rubber hoses should be OK.
This is from the RAC website, not sure what seals will
I’m not sure if it’s just the hoses.
I think it can also affect seals in fuel pump, fuel pressure regulators and
injectors etc.
I seem to remember E5 petrol had a very bad effect on the seals in the old
Jetronic metering units as used in the Escort XR3I and RS Turbo
I guess i should probably
Hi All,
Has anybody seen any information on the compatibility of the CVH and silver top
Zetec engines with E10 petrol ?
Thanks,

I looked there, just says all Fords post 1992 are ok (i guess that covers
Zetecs) apart from a specific 1.8 Mondeo for some reason.

I’m sure all this e10 nonsense is just a part of the box ticking for climate
change. I hear that when using e10 the fuel economy goes down so you’d probably
have to burn as much fossil fuel as part of the e10 fuel-to do a distance as
you would if you only used pure fossil fuel, the ethanol only

I'm sure I saw info on this on one of the kit car Facebook groups and there was
DVLA guidance on line about it. At work just now so don't have time to
look.Sent from my Galaxy

Somebody is doing the Ecoboost conversion, i can’t remember if it was on here
or on the facebook group (the open one, not the QOC members only one).

I’m told that the Super Unleaded fuel is still E5 so that’s an option if you
can stomach the extra cost per litre.
But then I’ve been wondering if maybe my Q might prefer a younger engine rather
than drink watered down E10 petrol.
Having been very impressed with the one litre 125PS
I found my coupe with the 2 litre injected did more to the gallon and just
about covered the cost and it was smoother. So I only use super/high octane
petrol now.

I think this is the Ecoboost conversion.

I’m told that
I bought some ethanol proof hose last week from Car Builder Solutions, having
tried local outlets………. Beware, that (certainly in my experience) some vendors
seem to either have no knowledge or not care about what they are selling or the
consequences of ethanol in petrol. Geoff has his
I only use Super Unleaded E5
E10 kills your CV engine. It affects hoses, gaskets and even alu. incl. the
carburettor floaters.
You can buy special fuel hoses but the carb and its gaskets can still be a
problem

Or you make E0 yourself.

There has been controversy over Ethanol, arguments for are that the crop
(rapeseed?) removes CO2 and provides O2, arguments against are stating that
land should be used for food crops, not fuel.
As always, no everyone will be happy. Back in 1989, Ford/New Holland tractors

I thought I would like a 1.25 Sigma, but I’m sure the exhaust manifold would
cook the bulkhead! Ecoboost may be the same position, I don’t know anything
