Yep no good. Something should be done on this.

I still don't buy that every Burnt out classic car is due to ethanol.

Nightmare

Fooook me , gutted for the bloke . Defo the new petrol rotting the hoses for sure . My 911 had one burst last year but i spotted it in time so was very lucky . I stopped at a red light , got a whiff of petrol and noticed a river of fuel running down the hill !!!!
Someone told me recently that shell v-power doesn't have any ethonel in it so we need to check this info . If true then just run on that .

So sad & feel for the owner. Agree. Something needs to be done.

Ethanol

Afternoon
Posted this last time Ethanol raised its head.Thought Shell refused to say!





Thank you for your email concerning the fuel sold by BP.

In most regions of the UK our Ultimate Unleaded dos not contain any Ethanol at present (South West UK excluded). This may of course change in the future as the specification allows up to 5%.

Our Regular grade gasoline does contain up to 5% bio ethanol in compliance with EN228 gasoline specification allowance in most regions of the UK.
All BP fuels, regular and BP Ultimate, contain additives which have cleaning and protection properties for the engine. BP Ultimate has been rigorously tested on a wide range of vehicles, covering thousands of miles, in various conditions. Its advanced formula offers a wide range of benefits including better fuel efficiency, more power, better responsiveness, and lower exhaust emissions, all of which gives long term benefit and value to the consumer and their vehicle.
BP does not supply Bio Ethanol as a fuel.

Thank you for taking the time to bring the matter to our attention and for allowing us the opportunity to respond to your concerns at this time.

I don't think they want our old cars on the roads this needs to be sorted out before someone gets hurt

[Frosticles]

Iirc hasn't the Ethanol content now doubled to 10% or E10 as it is now known?

Been using this all year. Changed all my hoses for Pirtek ones also. Brand new carb also fitted. May get my tank lined over the winter

The answer - either do what Frosticles is doing or treat your fuel to remove the ethanol.
