Until recently I had managed to steer clear of E 10 - 95 octane fuell and had no issues with E 5 - 98 octane fuel (but I have to admit that the tank and spare jerrycan were also filled up with expensive Ecomaxx classic car fuel ). Early September we had a club outing, I miscalculated the contents of the tank and ended up empty. As there were no decent fuel stations with e 5 -98 octane fuel along the rural roads I could not avoid topping up with E 10 95 octane. Car had been garaged since and yesterday afternoon we had a bl..dy h..ll of trouble getting the car started. When it finally did it would not idle as usual etc.etc. In short : all the problems associated by others with E 10 fuel. So now I'll drain the tank and stick to e 5 and Ecomaxx only.
