E10 Fuel in Ireland - should you be worried?

[@dazza4345]

Im already noticing on my first tank a drop from of at least 10 percent economy. The more concern is the risk to engine components.Its a sneaky way of getting more people off the road or into very expensive electric cars.Some older cars it may be really bad news on how long they will last .

[@GraemeMurphy]

Be worried, very worried. This fuel wrecks small hand tool & generator engines as well as older car engines.

The WEF wants the old cars off the road they cant leave us alone

As a German living with E10 for 10 years now, I can say that my vintage motorcycles pretty much couldn't care less about the higher proportion of ethanol. There's absolutely no difference between E5 and E10 regarding wear of seals, fuel lines etc.

[@dazza4345]

It may not be the same for cars as there are alot more complex.

[@hubertkam7647]

what about two strokes

[@philippp.m.4265]

@@hubertkam7647 My Jawa 175 and my MZ ETZ 150 also show no signs of wear. But if you consider the quality of petrol back then, especially in the communist countries, it's not surprising.

[@hubertkam7647]

@@philippp.m.4265 what about higher performance 2 strokes like my Honda crm 125 would those be fine cause the jawas and mz can last forever so it’s probably not that big of a difference

[@davediesel90]

E10 has been proved to eat seals and rubber fuel lines, it's all over KZbin and I've experienced it myself

[@hubertkam7647]

will this be fine one two stroke road bikes

AA please HELP THE POOR !!!!!

[@davediesel90]

I don't run e10 in any of my 2 stroke chainsaws, its muck. I have to use stihl motomix at 6 euro a litre !!!!!! Already seeing issues in some of the 4 stroke engines i have, mowers quads etc. fuel lines rotting, carbs gumming up, awful messing. I have an opel manta and have to drive 40 minutes to get fuel for it in Enniskillen, thankfully they ensured a handful of forecourts still have e5 when e10 was introduced there, not like our green party fundamentalists. I'll be doing the same for the other yokes once the issues have been fixed.

Please is E10 called premium or unleaded?

[@willpeony5534]

Both, it's written E10 on the pump handle. All petrols in Ireland, I've checked.

[@1celtickiwi]

Force me to diesel cars now......this is WRONG !!!!
