Thanks for the support with your comments. I am qualified in stating what happened, I was there and you were not. Remind me not to bother anymore.

A couple of photos from our ride yesterday.

140 mile round trip in Mid Wales today, taking in the Elan Valley Dams and Llyn Clywedog. A nice mix of roads and nice weather for the time of year.

Yesterday we were sorting out my front tyre, reseating it to get the bead to seat properly. So today we took the bikes out for a 151 mile round trip with a stop off or Cors Caron near Tregaron. What a wonderful mix of roads we rode along.

When I tried this for my bike it advised me to ask the manufacturer. I am glad you got a better result than I. No offence was intended, just found the link itself to be vague when I used it before.

One of my favourite places ever. Can imagine it was a lovely place to camp. Nice one!

The link really is useless (have checked this out before) so don't know why the government put that up as it basically says, check with the manufacturer. As for compatibility - I seriously doubt that this stuff is any good for any vehicle, as it will drag all the crud out of a tank through the fuel system...even on a modern vehicle. Just don't spill it on paintwork which isn't fuel proof...

I think we'll just head out on the bikes, preferably into mid Wales but depends on the weather...

Looks like the the Elan Valley estate, the mountain road from Rhayader to Devils Bridge, about a mile after the turning to the dams?

I'm not a chemist, but have gathered that the increase in ethanol is the problem...and it can dislodge any debris in the tank & cause fuelling issues due to blocked jets..........

Don't spill E10 on any paintwork which isn't lacquered.....as it acts as a paint stripper... Took the tank off the GT to check the coils and fuel leaked from the tap over the gearbox casing...not a happy person now. Worse than brake fluid.

We like the AA as we have a number of older vehicles in our possession. We've managed to save a few hundred quid over the past couple of years by ringing them up and threatening to leave - they end up reducing the premium to match the new member price. Whatever happened to loyalty discount? (They've also fixed our price for the next renewal as well...)

My bike is from 1982, my car 1985. If E5 is only available at limited outlets then I'm restricted on my travelling.

Congratulations!

Hi, Wasn't sure which part of the forum to post this, found via the M&P Instagram page tonight. Doesn't bode well for older vehicles and the guidance is shockingly shite from the Government (no surprises there then...) https://www.mandp.co.uk/workshop-tips-tricks/e10-petrol-explained-know-your-fuel
