If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Esso Synergy Supreme 99 is ethanol free (except in Devon, Cornwall, North Wales, North England and Scotland). It is a lot more expensive, but as I'm doing virtually zero mileage, it isn't going to separate in the tank.

In The Olden Days my father used to run our Rover 90 on Cleveland Discol, which was adulterated with ethanol- as an octane booster.
Never caused any problem (cars were made properly then, with lead and proper rubber from the colonies), except I do recall breaking down on the way to Aberystwyth with fuel pump failure......
I'm not bothered by running on e10, just by what happens when it stands in the fuel tank for weeks on end.
You can remove the ethanol, by sloshing in a bit of water, then using a separating funnel to run the water/ethanol off from under the petrol, but I suspect the novelty wears off after the second gallon.
