hopefully that's what the FBHVC tests will give some clues on, but not sure when they will be released. Will post up when there is anything published.

Only report I've seen is by QuinetiQ for DoT in Oct 2010.  Title: Assessing compatibility of fuel systems with bio-ethanol and the risk of carburettor icing. Final report. I think it's in the open literature so Google search should find it.

http://fbhvc.co.uk/category/news/ for latest update. Not sure who is doing the test but a bit of an embarrassing start!

interesting debate going on about MOT's for older cars as well, there is  survey there about car enthusiasts views on pre 60's cars and MOT's, worth adding your t'pence worth as many of us have a general interest in older cars, even if you don't own one.

i can see a lot of MOT failures coming soon due to perished hoses especially when they up it to 10% ethanol soon
