Is there a definite answer to the e10 fuel
Is it suitable in a 5.3 E
I suspect not but trying to find what to use is a nightmare.
Been using e5 and no running probs but the fuel bowl lower push seals have failed
Anyone else having problems

Simple answer is probably - avoid it and use super unleaded ( E5 ) on the basis that less ethanol is better - fewer problems with rubber hoses and fuel tanks etc . It means paying a bit more ...maybe it`s a sign of what`s in store for classic vehicles in future ( don`t expect any favours from the Chancellor in these cash-strapped times - classic car owners are probably not considered deserving cases . )

Most Super is still E0 even if marked as E5...E5 means up to 5% ethanol. Only in the West country and parts of Scotland will super actually contain 5% ethanol although if in doubt check with the producer (Esso etc)....certainly in London and home counties super UL will almost certainly remain ethanol free for now (all the base stock comes from Buncefield who ever you actually buy it from).....
