UK E10 Fuel

Is not Viton the answer?

Viton™ is characterized by its:
• Resistance to degradation by a greater variety of fluids
and chemicals than any other non-fluorinated elastomer.
Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, lubricants, and most
mineral acids.
• Extremely low permeability to a broad range of
substances, including particularly good performance in
oxygenated automotive fuels.
• Resistance to aliphatic, aromatic hydrocarbons that
dissolve other rubbers.
• Exceptionally good resistance to compression set, even at
high temperatures.
• Exceptionally good resistance to atmospheric oxidation,
sun, and weather. Excellent resistance to fungus and mold.
• Good electrical properties in low voltage, low frequency
applications.
• Low burning characteristics; inherently more resistant to
burning than other, non-fluorinated hydrocarbon rubbers.

(Doesn't say how much to add to each gallon, mind )

Well, yeah, I suppose, that is if you haven't replaced it in the last couple of decades. Mine are at least 10 years old and are Viton.

I don’t thinks it’s quite $8, approx 3.8 litres to a US gallon, so approx $5.8.

So it’s ‘only’ twice the price as in the US !

Yep, but those times are over and with the Winnal interchange being revamped soon, was 2019 then 2021, now 2022?, it will be 3 years of madness. The average speed cameras are already being put up on the M3, but heard these will be all the way from Eastleigh to London.
