Re: Rusty fuel tanks-whats the solution - Rusty - 02-10-12 Here you go. Not the same article I read but tells a similar tale. Biofuel E10 has been available in Germany since February 2011. Many vehicle manufacturers will not commit to any form of guarantee that your new vehicle's components will not be harmed by it, thus causing concern. It's already been established that older vehicles do suffer malfunctions with it. http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/out-of-gas-e10-debacle-puts-the-brakes-on-biofuels-a-757812.html http://deformedfueltanks.com/ |
