Good article on E10

There has been a lot of talk about the change to E10 fuel but not much written that is very helpful. Having run Methanol in the race car for 5 years, its a great fuel but not withoit its problems. Which in the main are that it junks up the fuel lines, injectors etc unless they are specifically designed for it. Also it corrodes whatever it gets in contact with, watch out aluminium fuel tank!!! Then of course being 100% methanol you have to pre heat the engine otherwise it just won't start. So knowing and experiencing this I found this article much better than the usual rubbish printed. 

E10 Fuel Hagerty

 

Ignore some of the Political bits and just take the tech stuff.

Good article but very anti-politically biased. 

So much of our fuel usage is dictated by the large automotive forces putting pressure on governments, all done so that they can sell new vehicles, shown up in the historical push towards deisel propulsion. How long before it is suddenly realised that emf power is another marketing tool with no benifits to our draining of Earths resources.

It's why I suggested you just take the Tech Stuff. This is a thread about E10 and it's effects ;)
