rusty_wingnut Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) I've done another tank of E10 (if that's what it is?) through the Series 1 since last post, not least because of the lack of diesel down here. Still no problems, it has a plastic float in the carb btw. Edited October 4, 2021 by rusty_wingnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonimouse Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I've done about four tanks in the Vitara and oddly enough, no problems there - so Suzuki were right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Done a few tanks through the ambulance now and all I've noticed (which may be total coincidence) is the fuel gauge is now tending towards reading lower than it used to - but that could be any number of unrelated things.

It's a lower calorific value... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just trying to draw attention to the quite limited amount of electricity generation capacity we currently have, the reliance on power imports, the seemingly rushed moves to increase reliance on electricity as an energy source for both road vehicles and domestic heating, and the absence of plans for further generation capacity compared to the fuel shortage which is 'just' a distribution problem, and therefore not as serious a problem, though undoubtedly badly affecting many people, both in getting the fuel, and finding the means to pay for it. The price reflects that. But I probably shouldn't have made it sound quite so polarised. But it is anyway OT. I apologise. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
