E10 petrol... On the way ?

mikeecho · 2022-11-22 21:55:02

Are we looking at E10 being the new standard for petrol ? Personally I'd prefer E0. Currently our E5 is more like E3, due to the double counting, where resused bio on it's second life, has a double value.

I ran a few lawnmowers off E85 back in the day when it was available here. Your average lawnmower will also run off home heating oil in a pinch once u start on petrol
Only problem was it wouldn't start on it from cold. Chainsaws might not like E85 but doubt E10 will cause trouble. If you are worried just preemptively change the fuel lines. Carb might need slight adjustment too.

Over all I would not worry about E10 as it is still a tiny % of ethanol really
