Since regular motion lotion is going to E10 and based on the fact that the government car checker stops giving a monkeys pre 2011 (because no one drives a car older than that
) what are the expectations for all that lovely ethanol possibly ruining the fuel system? Baring in mind the fuel line crimp fittings have been known to spring a leak using real life none ethanol fuel are we heading for a shredding?
I’m already looking forward to convincing the Capri that it’ll be fine. I’ve swapped its rubber hoses for “safe” alternatives but the main plastic line on that is anyone’s guess. It already doesn’t like it’s timing retarding and no lead in its fuel so 10% vegetable water should push it right over the edge. I really don’t want to have to start faffing about with Audi pipe work as well
anyone know if the injectors/rubber/seals will take it?
