I have a 1990 plus 4 4seater M16 engine fuel injection
My concern is the lack of knowledge surrounding the use of this fuel.
The gov web site is vague and seems to say it's ok but it's not very comprehensive and doesn't cover many of the issues.
For example fuel pumps, pipework etc. Is Morgan or one of our very good dealers going to come up with comprehensive lists of necessary changes for each model.
Paranoid or what!

Try this until you manage to locate one that does sell E5, I'd be surprised if Exeter doesn't have a few sites as I can get it in Dartmouth BP site of all places at £1.499. I carry a bottle in the Plus 8 just in case I have to put E10 in, the engine is ok but it's the pipes that are vulnerable on mine. The major petrol companies run a site locator program which might help out. The Castrol Valvemaster is NOT compatible with CATS !! so I shall be passing mine on to a friend with an old Landie.

Although that additive Valvemaster may combat E10, not so sure that it is compatible with catalytic convertors?
Also, I understood that all 4 Cylinder Rover engines from the 90s were not compatible with E10.
Williams have produced a write up on E10 but it is not specific as far as pipes etc are concerned as I am not sure even MMC know what they have used over the years. General advice is to monitor pipes and equipment for deterioration.
I always get my E5 from Esso.
Look at the Maintenance forum, scroll down to the E10 posting, I added a thread on 20/08/2021 referring to the Williams advice.

https://www.theautochannel.com/news...aabBRQsrjcV-1NIY0hyuP-Rezn7stv2Tzjw-ldvc Try reading this, its long but gives you some interesting information. I live in California and we have had E fuels here for many years, all my cars run on it with no problems.
