Whether all the fuel pipe work and tanks are E10 compliant maybe another matter.

Early 1990's UK Harley's had a problem mainly around 93/94 models with the carb and fuel pipework with some owners experiencing fuel leaks due to differences in the composition between UK and USA unleaded fuel


John,

Not sure your quite correct regarding the 1.8 Duratec

The 1.8 SCi certainly in not compliant but this is a direct injection engine normally found with 6 speed boxes.

All others are, I believe ok. My engine is the HE variant (engine code chbb).

Hope I’m correct!
