A side note to this topic.
E10 fuel seems to cause havoc to chain saws, trimmers and similar small 2 stroke engines, some people claim not to have issues, but I seen many fuel lines and primer bulbs split and break. I just spent the morning replacing fuel lines on my leaf blower because I was to lazy to get pure gas :roll:

the problem over here the E10 is new to us.
so we get all sorts of opinions on what it will do.
damage to crank seals(to which I doubt)
fuel lines,all mine have been replaced.
E10 will eat carb body after a while inc brass floats not to mention brass jets.(not so sure about that.
E10 will cause corrosion in tank.

on a good note E5 will still be available for the next 5 years.
