Changing the fuel hoses to a spec that is proof from E10 is clearly a good idea.
Unfortunately it is not as simple as that. The Rotax engine is OK for E10
but is our plastic fuel tank OK?
For UK owners the LAA will be issuing guidance any day now saying that E10
should not be used . This may change when more information is collected on the
potential risks.

in the UK bought such hoses from Europa recently and if so, how long did
it take until delivery? What are the implications now that E10 mogas is being
introduced i.e do replacement hoses need to meet a higher level of ethanol
protection
than hitherto?
