I bought some ethanol proof hose last week from Car Builder Solutions, having tried local outlets………. Beware, that (certainly in my experience) some vendors seem to either have no knowledge or not care about what they are selling or the consequences of ethanol in petrol. Geoff has his experience, and I have similar (hose failure on Rickman the day after MOT test!). ‘Guidance’ from local motor factor was “yes, that’s the hose you want, it’s ok with petrol or diesel” when I specifically asked for hose that was ok with petrol containing ethanol. The local ‘motorsport’ (ie go faster Vauxhall saloon – carlos fandango wheels) garage, said “this hose is ok – we don’t know anyone who’s had problems with it, just use super unleaded” when trying to sell me a hose which just said Gates 8mm on it. *********** It needs to be to spec SAEJ30 R9 or DIN73379 (which should be marked repeatedly on the hose)************ Martin Scott

I only use Super Unleaded E5 E10 kills your CV engine. It affects hoses, gaskets and even alu. incl. the carburettor floaters. You can buy special fuel hoses but the carb and its gaskets can still be a problem Hans Or you make E0 yourself. 20L petrol, 1 liter of water mixed with food colour, Mix/shake. Let is stand for have a day and drain the colour liquid and you have Petrol without Alcohol Ideal when you store your QSC for longer periods like winter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9mLbuUSt-0 From: mgaskin via Quantum Owners Group Sent: Wednesday, September 1, 2021 4:37 PM To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [Quantum Owners] E10 petrol. I’m told that the Super Unleaded fuel is still E5 so that’s an option if you can stomach the extra cost per litre. But then I’ve been wondering if maybe my Q might prefer a younger engine rather than drink watered down E10 petrol. 😉 Having been very impressed with the one litre 125PS Ecoboost in my Focus, I’m thinking that might make a lot of sense. Anyone tried fitting one of those in a Q yet? Best Matthew -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
