Accidentally filled old girl with 94 E10 yesterday. Sure can feel dulled performance. I now have what feels like a 1200 until gone. Never thought fuel could make such a difference.
Maaate, ya wanna try diesel in it & see how she goes, I know others have . . .
Col, will empty it out quick this week. Give it a tank of 98.
Grog if it was going like my 1200S you wouldn't be complaining.
Suck it out and chuck it in something else
E10 is shite. If I ever have to use it (as can't find proper petrol when touring europe) my 14 is so slow & thirsty on it it actually costs more as MPG drops so far.
I agree. Tip it out asap mate. it will do more damage than you could ever expect. :facepalm: :facepalm:
It's never damaged mine, just use it & don't make the same mistake again.
Used most of it up today. Rest will be gone soon. A nice tank of 98 coming up. By pure chance, had v6 Jeep at work today. Last week, no probs before, he filled with e10. It started missing. We sent injectors out this morn for a clean. Two of them are stuffed. Coincidence, no idea.

It probably wasn't the E10 but the octane level. I have run 100 E10 in the past without a problem.
The ethanol percent makes effect to AFR. More ethanol => leaner AFR, but the difference is small.
Engine will work perfect if it's adjusted to that fuel.
The fuel itself isn't shit.
Golden rules - buy the high octane quality petrol, not the supermarket cr4p, and always try to use a busy garage where the turnover is high. You don`t want to be re-fuelling with stuff thats already weeks old!
I used E10 (94 octane) for years & put maybe 60,000kms on the engine with no ill effect that I know of. I now use 91 ULP because of the E10 bad press and that I don't Know but certain garages don't carry 91 ULP so E10 it is. No 95 or 98 for me.
I only run 95 (or 98 when not available) which is a good thing for you Pete. It saves me asking you to help fix it if E10/91 stuffs it up ;) :cheers:
Dose anyone use tesco momentum 99?
I run this all the time in the car and bike never had a problem.
I use the cheapest fuel I can find (except E10) as 14s aren't tuned for owt higher & run fine on it.
After my mistake of filling with E10, now have 98 back in tank. Can of worms about why not needed, i know all that stuff. All i want to say is that 14 runs much better with new fuel. Much more kick in the arse. Why? No idea. Just goes way better. Defies logic, low comp motor, no knock sensor. All i can measure is my seat of pants performance. Just how it is.
