E10 PETROL

Post by Glenn »

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

it didnt do the old Su carby seals any good in the Morris minor and then a warning for those running accrylic paint on the body and in the engine bay it eats it, my car is in 2-pac now, but ate the paint from the floor of the engine bay after the carbi started leaking and also had a slight fuel cap leak :oops: and it ate the paint from the 1/4 panel.
