E10 petrol
 
Somebody wrote about a fortnight ago enquiring about E10 petrol?. As I
mentioned I had just filled up with the stuff. For 3 days it seemed fine,
may be imagination/placebo effect but T3 did seem to be smoother. After 3
days car periodically acted as if there was dirt in a carby( definitely only
one working, made driving in peak hour Sydney traffic real fun -NOT). ran
the thing down to almost empty then refilled it , no problems, back to
square one!.
Coincidental?, maybe but I wouldnt bother with E10 again.

E10 petrol
 
Yes, could be. Another cove suggested that to run E10 you need to use modern
rubber(?) for the fuel lines. He thought that the alcohol stripped the
lining off the inside of old style rubber lines.
