ETHANOL E10 FUEL

Following Richard Stern’s article last month about ethanol fuel and the problems it causes, the following from Esso is likely to be helpful for many members. It is also worth making members aware that ethanol produces 30% less energy than petrol. Therefore, more of it is needed to produce the same performance and efficiency as petrol, hardly environmentally friendly.

“Thank you for contacting Esso Customer Care and for your interest in our ethanol free Esso Synergy Supreme+ petrol.

The majority of Synergy unleaded 95 Octane petrol sold in the UK contains 5% ethanol as required under the Government’s Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation (RTFO).

There is currently no requirement for renewable fuel (such as ethanol) to be present in Synergy supreme + unleaded (97 grade petrol).

Esso Synergy Supreme+ is ethanol free (except in Devon, Cornwall, the Teesside area and Scotland) and we have no current intention to add ethanol to Synergy Supreme+ in other areas of the UK.

We would therefore advise anyone who has concerns about the presence of ethanol in petrol to use Synergy Supreme+ – providing they do not fill up in Devon or Cornwall, the Teesside area or Scotland.”

Also there are two British made products called Valve Master and Valve Master Plus which contain additives that protect classic engines from the damage caused by E5 and E10 fuels. https:// classicvalvemaster.co.uk/

All the best,

Anthony Shilson
