E-Gen Fuels

Hi all i have been using an ethanol blended fuel called Egen95 which as the name suggests is 95RON octane rated in my T3 89 mod and whilst performance is not down if anything it slightly improved, i am wondering if anyone else has any thoughts on this or other ethanol blended fuel.
Do U think it will in short/long term do damage do fuel lines and injector rails??
I used to run it at a ratio of 1Egen and 3 Premium but lately i cant see a downside, so need input.
This will be the third tank straight.
Running it today but added Race Octane Booster to tank (wynns shit). +5 points of octane

Cheers

i think the general consensus at the moment is that ethonal blends aren't harmful and that the original who-ha from a couple of years ago was blown out of proportion. Though people with industry/practical experience may have different views.

it's suppossed to result in slightly better fuel economy as well isn't it?

yep. Blends up to 10 percent are fine and chances are your car has been drinking it for years without your knowledge. The hoo-hah was more about paint thinner, toluene and other additives being added to fuels by dodgy servos. Ethanol was seen as an 'additive' so was branded as bad by many. better fuel economy - no. It causes an increase.

its not the fuel in engine that is the main worry it's the damage to steel parts in the fuel train eg, tank steel lines
but as was stated before 10 -1 should be ok as it's been in fuel weather as advertised or not i usto carry the blend to a lot of service stations as far back as the early 80's to my personal knolage

Yeh me i have heard of the blended fuels eating out fuel line/rails and turning them into mush on holden commondores vn,vr and vs models in two years because thats all they ran in the cars. (Local blokes at smiths auto performance workshop.)

What are the chances of same happening on the T3??
Not stressed about using it i am wondering if there may be any serious side effects to the wasserboxer motor??

frok what i can gather it's not a problem as long as the large fuel filter is changed on a regular bases it seems that euroe has been using this mix for years so most stuff from around the 70's are ok with regular servicing the filter don't ask me why the filter some one on here may be able to lead us to enlightement
