I've not extensively looked into this, but isn't the issue more related to the rubber hoses than anything else?  I thought the higher Ethanol content will cause older rubber hoses to break down faster, but newer rubber hoses should be OK.

This is from the RAC website, not sure what seals will be affected, but our metal fuel tanks might be prone to internal corrosion.

"/If you put E10 fuel in an incompatible car it will still run, but seals, plastics and metals may be damaged over longer periods as a result of bioethanol's corrosive properties. It is a hygroscopic, which means it absorbs water from the atmosphere, leading to condensation in fuel tanks if the car remains unused for long periods of time./"

Happy to be corrected if I am wrong.

Regards,
Steve
