thanks to all.


Depends on the age and state of your car, I would think. The way I look at it there are 3 separate areas to be considered:

1. Engine - this will be exactly the same as the car it originally came from in terms of vulnerability
2. Fuel Line from Tank to Engine
3. Tank, filler and pump

If you are capable of checking and changing the elements yourself, then I would recommend you do so. If not, then take it to a Morgan specialist and get their advice. Or simply do what most of us do, which is to use E5 fuel whenever you can, and chuck in some suitable additive when you can't.

In my particular example: My engine and fuel pump is from a 2007 car and is safe. My fuel line is Aeroquip braided stuff installed in around 2003 and is safe. The only suspect bit for me is the fuel filler neck, but I don't see it as a major issue.
