Ethanol concerns

Asked by John McHardy

I AM concerned about moves to make ethanol-blend fuel mandatory. Will my 2002 Mazda Bravo ute have any problems if I have to run it on a 5 or 10 per cent ethanol blend?

THERE won't be any problems from light blends like these. You would strike problems only with much higher blends of ethanol. You would then have to consider changing seals in the fuel system. I wouldn't be concerned about the proposed blends.
