E10 Fuel!


XTreme

Recommended Posts

I'm starting to see this at the pumps now!

Seems some older bikes may have problems with it though.......and it can go off in your tank a lot quicker than the E5 we use now.

So if you leave bikes standing for extended periods it could cause problems.ย I'll stick with the E5 for as long as I can.

There's a compatibility list HERE!

Fucked you are, every small engine will be a nightmare to keep running after you start using that chit. Mark my words, its to make you want to go electric.

Just checked and apparently E5 is expected to be removed from the pumps in September 2026.

But only the 97ย octane version!

So we should get another 5 years!

My car can use E10....โ€ฆ.....if I keep it.๐Ÿ˜•

I asked about it on ButtRider and I got this answer.

"BMW specify all models going back many many years are compatible with E10, that includes all year models of the 650GS, that means no issues with plastics, fuel lines, seals etc so dont pay any attention to any scare stories that may be floating around, they are just misinformation

I have been using Oz E10 RON 95 in my single spark Dakar for over 5 years but I have the BMSC programmed for RON95 which cant be done on the dual spark models as there is no firmware for RON95, the single spark RON91 did not like E10 RON91, it seemed to get grumpy round town.

I would expect the dual spark RON91 firmware to be a lot better than the single spark firmware so I would not expect any issues to arise."

The real issue is how fast it gows bad. Get to love fuel stabilizers.

What tym said.ย  It's when you leave a bike standing for a while that you can have issues, otherwise it's no big deal if it's used frequently.

After next month all of my bikes could be left standing for up to 6 months so I will be putting fuel stabilizer in all of them.

Mine was the retro model (K reg) the F2N........not that fast, but fast enough, and as simple as a house brick, so easy to service and work on.
