Hi all,

Hoping someone can confirm that I will not be able to use E10 (unleaded) fuel in my 1999 MGF
and will have to use E5 (super unleaded) from September.

Thanks in advance.

check this out... we might just be okay!
Because the MGF has a plastic tank we won't see issues with tank corrosion and as long as the rubber and plastics can take it, we should be golden... I'll let you try it out first biglaugh

Its no big deal, I use Tesco 99 octane E5 in mne, by all acounts it has no ethanol content. Loads of Tesco petrol stations about.
