    And for anyone concerned, just remove the Ethanol completely. A small amount of effort required, but it is easy and effective.
    ...then look surprised when you've effectively paid 11% more for your petrol, for no tangible benefit bar assuaging paranoia.

    No surprised look or paranoia here. I'll continue thanks. Far cheaper than having to replace parts affected by the Ethanol.
    It upsets the tree huggers too. Worth it just for that!
    Buying super duper unleaded only ups the cost anyway for little benefit.

    How about parts affected by age? Because any non-ethanol-safe fuel hose is now going to be old.

    I am more concerned at the loss of efficency of the engine!

    It may damage the fuel pipe in your petrolmower/strimmer/chain saw.

    If it does damage fuel pipes etc on petrolmower/strimmer/chain saw how can I sort this so it does not happen?

    Use the superunleaded petrol.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
