E10 Fuel

[mark]

I know its been discussed before but what do we think about the new E10 unleaded ?

Its supposed to be fine for post 2011 cars but not sure if it will cause any problems for old 2 strokers , think they use even more ethanol in some places E15 & E35.

Presume the number is the percentage of ethanol .

Just switch to using super unleaded.
There are additives you can use I have heard but sod measuring something else to add to my fuel so my scooters can stomach it 😂

FYI - my plant hire supplier now demands all hired plant only be filled with super unleaded... I said "yeah no worries boss..." the voice inside my head says "yeah - straight after I've used my jerry can full of cheap unleaded..."

What stations sell super unleaded? I'm struggling to find it down ere

[gugne]

I've run it in my Vespa for years in Italy with zero problems.

I get the 99 RON from shell garages and 98 RON from some other place
I take a 20ltr jerry can to the petrol station and decant it into a 5ltr for easier handling

just don't put diesel into the bike like I did a while ago

How did it run on diesel ?

[tzsteve]

Well it fired up and made the big cloud of white smoke but that was all it would do,
Totally unridable ,

So no different than usual small frame then ?

Hey Mark I spoke to a mate tonight (Steve) and he said that Jerry from Readspeed had a device for measuring the ethanol content of petrol and E10 can contain as low as 3% so at the moment we are in the same place as when we went from leaded to unleaded i.e. totally confused. The way I look at it is,that we probably strip our engines down for many more reasons that aren't petrol related.Just keep paying through the nose for super unleaded until it runs out and then follow the direction of the classic cars, bikes lawnmowers and boat users. Hope you're keeping well mate.

All good , hope business is going well !

I will definitely book a room when you are in the winter season 😀

Some of the guys I ride vintage BMWs with talked about this method of removing the ethanol.

Lot of effort and very exact measurements…

We also have some ethanol free stations left here in the states.
