E-10 has been available here for years. There was some trouble with internal rust. It's not suitable for older vehicles as stated.

In KingFisher ONE (which was "underused"), i would notice white deposits inside the fuel lines.
I cut lengthwise to check and found them to be "waxy" in consistency.
Perhaps "fell out of solution" from fuel onto walls?
I use KingFisher TWO more and have not noticed any yet.
Older cars and their gaskets are rumoured to be in line for damage, but a bit like "millennium bug",
which wasn't a bug nor a "threat" but caused us all much concern---
Props best to suck and see?


I believe "underuse" to be FAR more damaging, but ATM we are a little limited!

From what little I know about it, it can react to some rubber, plastics & metals.  All engines manufactured after 2011 had to be E10 compatible.  Engines prior to 2002 maybe try not to use it, but for the amount of mileage a standard hover engine does, unlikely to make a great deal of difference other than poor starting and a slight increase in more fuel needed for same distance, so slightly more tax for the Government    


Not sure what affect it will have on the rubber fuel lines and whether it dissolve them and then end up blocking carb jets or injectors.
