Title: Petrol Bio-ethanol Percentage
Post by: Stirring Moose on 16 January 2011, 11:44

Just dropping in from the Mk.3 section and sadly not on particularly cheery business. Been reading about the proposals for the increase in the percentage of bio-ethanol in petrol as of 2013. This may not do older cars much good. Have just started a thread on this over in 'Dub-Tug land, here's the link;

Think it'll be more of an issue when you're running E80 or something. Keeping fuel system serviced should avoid any nasty fuel leaks.
