Tesco: E5 but no ethanol

[Easy-X]

Testing The Octane And Ethanol Content Of Tesco Momentum 99 Super Unleaded Petrol

Seems to consistently contain no ethanol! FYI E5 can contain up to 5% ethanol but there's no minimum. (E10 has 5~10% ethanol)

I'm curious - where does it say E10 can contain 5-10% ethanol? Could it not potentially be 0-10%?



I use tesco for the clubcards

I suspect the cheap fuel is something of a loss leader for Tesco, so since I buy their petrol but nothing from the shop, I'm probably fucking them over.

I buy their petrol because it's 99 octane and my enfield is on the cusp of detonation at the best of times anyway, most other brands of E5 are 97 octane.

It can be pretty random. I've had the stuff go WELL off after a couple of months, you know what off petrol smells like. I've had it last overwinter.

BP state their E10 can be stored for up to 12 months in a sealed container. One month in a ventilated tank.

I bought some 95 e5 before it stopped being sold, and bought the 95 e10 varient afterwards. Both from the same Tesco. Both stored in glass containers. Semi-sealed I guess - some fuel did evaporate up to a point - both caps bulged over time. I kept them both for about 18 months. I found that the e5 was the one that had the water in the bottom of it, not the e10..

Either way- after the year I had enough of looking at them and just poured them both into my bike and stopped caring about it all the talk.
