ETHANOL IN OUR TANKS

Post by BONLY1 »

Got me a new tank sat in the spare room waiting to go on my '94 foxeye.
Not a spot of rust inside or out, but reading about the addition of ethanol in our petrol these days has me worried.
Should I just fill it up with ordinary unleaded and quit worrying or is there something I should do to stop the 'old' but new tank rusting from the inside out?
Will using the likes of V-power at Shell only be better? Or does that have ethanol in it too??

I've been reading up about this and according to the Total oil company they don't put Ethanol in their petrol.

Have a read of this and near the bottom look for TOTAL EO FUEL SITES.xls

Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.
