How E20 Harms Your Vehicle!

For those who are still confused, E20 blended fuel is a mixture of 20% ethanol and 80% petrol. While post-2023 vehicles are E20-compliant, older vehicles are at risk due to the E20 fuel. Here’s how E20 can damage your vehicle:

• Corrosion in the fuel tank
• Premature cracking of fuel lines 
• Lower Fuel Efficiency – The fuel energy density has been lowered due to E20 
• Blockages in the fuel pump, fuel Injectors, and fuel lines due to gum formation 
• Hydrolock in the engine (Ethanol absorbs water and separates itself from petrol)
• Altered engine performance

All the above-mentioned issues are caused by using E20 fuel in older cars. Your vehicle’s engine may get damaged sooner than its ideal life. Now, if you are wondering what the solution to this problem is, we have got you covered!
