I'm sorry to hear of how much trouble you've had with this but glad you made this video. My car (2005 Ford Focus) failed its MOT on the emissions this year... Catalytic converter had gone! No trouble in previous years. As the garage has said; only thing that's changed in recent years is the fuel. They've seen newer cars suffer a similar fate and like you, I've also found that E5 (all I use now) can be hard to find in some areas.

Thanks Olly. 😊 Esso or shell or BP I guess. I think Morrisons don't do e5 at all. Not sure.

For old cars, you generally have to fit an ethanol resistant diaphram in the fuel pump & use at least R9 fuel hose. Some carb floats are available in "stay up" ethanol proof material, as are needle valve tips. Trouble is, this crap fuel doesn't keep fresh for very long either.

Thanks for the info mate. I should imagine most didn't know that either. 😊

Myself and my partner both own cars that are apparently able to run on E10, but the lack in performance is blatant, and it has also led to my partner's car needing work done! My mechanic has said to me how rubbish E10 is and that they have seen what it can do to an engine! They say that although E5 costs more than E10, it actually takes less of it to go the same distance so it's just as economical anyway!

I've heard this also. Just the job to clear all the old cars off the roads 😔

After one tank? Seems a bit of a coincidence to me.
