E10 petrol and gen 3 Jimny

Hello I have a 2001 gen 3 and wondering if E10 petrol is likely to damage any rubber / plastic components anywhere in the fuel system? I understand that owners of older cars / other makes such as VWs have fuel leaks where the ethanol is 'drying out' rubber components, causing cracking. Does anyone have a view or am I wrong to be concerned? Thank you.

Suzuki tech say it will be fine

Thanks Martin!

Can you not buy additives to counter act the effects of the ethanol?

I won't be putting any E10 anywhere near my cars. I always use Shell V Power which i believe will remain E5.

If Suzuki Tech. says it will be OK, what's the problem?

The Esso equivalent is ethanol free, I use it in my 'bike, and I have been putting it in the Jinmny recently, as it has only done about 200 miles since last March.  I've seen what 10% ethanol does to plastic fuel filter casings in the USA- they go bright yellow and swell up.

You don't want ethanol mix hanging around in your fuel tank, it rusts steel, and holds water. 

The ethanol free costs a bit more, but you will get higher MPG which will compensate a bit. (ethanol has a lower calorific value than petrol, so it is another stealth tax- you have to buy more fuel, and therefore pay more duty and VAT)
