I think it said on the radio today (if I understand this correctly) that E10 will cause rustiness in petrol tanks and cause water to get into the carbs/injectors/engine when restarted if left unused for long periods, like with lawnmowers. This would then apply to my Fireblade, which only does about 1000 miles in the summer and nowt in the winter.
So would switching to the super unleaded (which I think is E5) be the answer, or am I missing something?
No you’re not. There are also additives for E10 to prevent this.
Cheers Ali, just had half hour reading up on this, and am going to get some fuel stabilizer today.Quote:

I'd only ever put Super Unleaded in my bike (E5 as it is now categorised) - and added some Liqui Moly 8365 fuel system treatment - I don't think carbs like the new E10 at all.
Back in the 80's I would find the time for Five Star, come rain or shine. Guess I was a system addict? ;)
:D I see what you did there. Quality petrol, shit records...Quote:

With bit of checking they came back with a £534 price which I accepted. That's a £60 saving just from haggling a bit, well worth the phone call!
is that for 2 cars geoff?Quote:

No, just my little 996cc Suzuki. It's an expensive area. At least tax is free.Quote:
