Kees, With all due respect, E10, as I understand it,  is 10% ethanol.
i.e. 5 litres of ethanol in every 50 litre tank of petrol. In every tank full.
I'm sure at that level it would cause issues.

I said one cup of metho in one tank of avgas 110 octane - once a year.

And you have to use a Royal Doulton teacup. Proper British. ;-)

Heres an analogy - as much as i like a drink, I'm sure we can all see the
"health" differences between drinking 7 bottles of rum/scotch/ whatever every
time we fill our Healey with fuel; versus drinking 1/5 - 1/4 of a bottle once
a year!!
;-)
Chris
PS. It doesn't have to be Doulton. Any fine China will suffice. ;-)

Yanks complaining about.

car.
