E10 Fuel in the UK was created by petejones69

Not seen anything on the forum about the proposed new E10 fuel in the UK. I'm guessing my 1999 engine will be knackered by it as the RAC are saying any vehicle older than 2002 will be affected.

I had heard about this, same situation for me - 1999 G13B engine might take a bit of a hit with this, if this and other articles are anything to go by.

Funnily enough I just noticed last night that my Gen4 fuel filler cap lists both E5 and E10. Hadn't noticed the proposal to move the UK to E10.
