    Hi, What do the Forum members think of this product, supplied by Jose Franssen. I tin per fill up of fuel at 9.00 €, 250ML

    They say: E10 Fuel Protector, Adding this additive to every refuelling with E10 gasoline (maximum 10% ethanol) negates the negative effects of ethanol!

    I looked at that as well David and there are lots of ‘alternatives’ available out there in the UK so maybe stick to something like e.g. Duckhams Classic Fuel Treatment, endorsed by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs (FBHVC), which does this, protecting metals and fuel lines from ethanol corrosion while also combating valve seat recession.

    FBHVC, which TOC is a member of have a good page on fuel and additives which is worth reading https://fbhvc.co.uk/fuels

    It does include a list of materials good and bad used in conjunction with petrol containing ethanol
