Question E10 Petrol

Hi all I would just like to ask the members if they know of any damage or danger for per 02 car owners using the E10 unleaded Petrol? I have a focus registered in 02 so is per 02, can I use the E10 now and then, Like we had to do, when unleaded replaced 4 star (1in 4 fill up) I would like to hear your view on this if you have one thanks. Take care and stay safe everyone.

Thanks for your reply Lee, I have ran my car now on a full tank of E10.But just wanted to know if others had any problems. But it sounds all good for you and I have had no issue so far. But then again I have only done just over a 100 miles so early days thanks Paul.

It’s only about 5.5% ethanol at the moment, E10 on pumps is to cover maximum ethanol content up to 10%
