As the title really. Looks like E10 petrol coming in next year. Higher ethanol content

 

Will the Sup systems cope with this as I have heard it is really corrosive and eats seals for dinner.

 

Europeans have been using it for a while but has anyone got any experience with it?

Regular petrol now contains up to 5% of ethanol, however I think the advice is anything prior to 2002 (98% if supras then) is not to use it.

 

I know the expense involved in running even E50 in a non compatible fuel system as it killed all my ASNU injectors from debris in the fuel system.

There is an Aussie site that goes through the car manufacturers models and E10 compatibility and with regard to the Supra they mention anything post May 1993 is compatible.

 

Super unleaded is not affected so anyone running the expensive stuff will carry on as today. Apparently, those running with 95 fuel may benefit from a tune up to cater for a leaner burn with E10 fuel. Seeing a lot of us only do a few hundred miles a year moving to the Super stuff shouldn't be a major financial hardship.
