I noticed this on pistonheads & thought I would copy and post here;
Message from the FBHVC:
The Department of Transport has issued a consultation document on the subject
of introducing higher levels of ethanol in petrol.
Many older vehicles are likely to suffer damage and possibly dangerous fuel
leaks if the E10 grade of petrol is used without modification to their fuel
systems.
This consultation is focusing on vehicles more than 25 years old.
Whilst wishing to introduce the higher ethanol level E10 grade of fuel, the
Government are proposing to guarantee a 'protection grade' of petrol at the E5
grade that is equivalent to the currently available 95 RON petrol. However this
guarantee will only last until 2020 when further consultation will take place.
It is possible that on the introduction of E10 at the 95 RON level, the
currently available 'Super' grades with an octane level of 97 RON or higher,
will cease to be available.
The Federation has designed a survey on petrol usage in older vehicles which
will provide valuable evidence in the consultation response.
Please complete the survey and help the Federation preserve our right to use
'Yesterday's Vehicles on Tomorrow's Roads'.
The survey can be accessed by clicking this link:

If you wish to read the consultation document and/or take part in the
consultation it can be found by following this link:

The FBHVC survey will close on 31 August 2018 in order to collate the results
for the Federation's response to the consultation, which itself closes on 16
Sept 2018. A copy of the response will be made available on the Federation's
website.
Quantum members may wish to respond so that we can continue to enjoy running
our cars!
