Does anybody know whats involved in running a Bellett on E10 ?

Given that E10 is 95 octane, it might be a better fuel in some cases for a Bellett? Cheaper than 98 octane unleaded too.

Some say the rubber hoses have to be E10 compatible. Anything else ????

We run my wifes Ford XR4 and my SSV Ute on E10 with no issues. I have run the 2 Utes I had before on E10 also.

e85 is ok we use it in the race car (rx3 coupe) and we needed to up the 600cc injectors to 1100cc injectors you use twice as much fuel but the octane level is heaps higher we got another 10hp at the wheels from it...and the fumes your car makes smell like fairy floss! We had a fair few problems when running it trying to make it reliable
