I have usually filled up from one of the supermarkets with 95 petrol. To date I have had no problems and the RP starts on the first swing after 5 months layup. Never sure how much petrol is in the tank.
My Liege is Reliant powered and it may be of interest to note that the Haynes manual for the Reliant published in 1989 under routine maintenance states:-
‘Every 36000 miles (60000 km) or 3 years, whichever comes first’ - ‘Renew fuel pipes’.
The fuel pipes are a combination of plastic and rubber.
Ethanol perhaps contributes to the deterioration of these components but it appears not to be a new problem.
