E10 fuel
Re: E10 fuel
There's a site with some info on my link. It also refers you to the UK Gov website, but other than some generalised statements, it's useless for old bikes.

Re: E10 fuel
The Milano has an E10 sticker. Wonder if the tank is of a different plastic?
Re: E10 fuel
Most manufacturers now switched to tanks that resist ethanol, either by material or coating on the inside. Many tanks before 2015 (?) soften when exposed to higher ethanol levels and deform. Usually this results in mounting points not lining up when reassembling the tank. This effect worsens when you have a long project and leave the tank filled with fuel on the shelf not supported on the original mounts...
Seen it both on my 9 1/2 2006 and Ducati GT1000 2006. Have not removed the tank of my Guzzi V7 café classic 2012 lately so that may also have softened by now
