The addition of ethanol in our UK fuel has spawned a whole new set of must have products which we must buy to keep our vehicles on the road - fuel tank sealer remover, fuel tank cleaner, ethanol resistant tank liners, replacement parts, hoses, substitutes, addititves etc. Not to forget damage that has already happend - leaky glass tanks, gummed up carburettors, stuck bent valves, an earful off the missus for turning the kitchen into a fuel tank sealer laboratory etc etc. I wonder if all this additional expense and the production of all this etanol resistant stuff was factored into the carbon benefit of adding the stuff into petrol (I'm sure that in the long term there will be a benefit). Well, at least we can keep our vehicles on the road knowing that our misery, time and expenditure is keeping someone's business going. Once again it's poor old muggins picking up the bill.

PS
The fuel tank sealer remover works a treat and, as yet, so does the new ethanol resistant liner.
