[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 113157, member: 161"] Another link here from the DucatiST groups. It shows a simple way of calculating the amount of ethanol in your petrol. (If any.) It mentions the use of a graduated cylinder but if you don't have one you could improvise puttting you own marks on a suitable container. [URL]https://www.delphiautoparts.com/gbr/en/toolbox/how-test-alcohol-content-gasoline[/URL] And from another DucatiST post: A quote from their website [URL]https://www.esso.co.uk/fuels-faqs[/URL]: The majority of unleaded 95 Octane petrol sold in the UK contains up to 5% ethanol as required under the Government’s Renewable Transport Fuels Obligation (RTFO). There is currently no requirement for renewable fuel (such as ethanol) to be present in super unleaded (97 grade petrol). Esso super unleaded petrol (Synergy Supreme+ Unleaded 97) is ethanol free (except in Devon, Cornwall, the Teesside area and Scotland). We would therefore advise anyone who has concerns about the presence of ethanol in petrol to use Synergy Supreme+ – providing they do not fill up in Devon or Cornwall, the Teesside area or Scotland. And for your nearest UK Esso station: [URL]https://www.esso.co.uk/stations[/URL] If you do a search to find your nearest Esso station there is a link on the found page to give details of which grades of fuel are available there.
