A new study has found that exposure to E20 petrol — a fuel blend containing 20% ethanol — can cause significant damage to components in older vehicles. The research found that certain parts experienced increased hardening, reduced strength, loss of flexibility, and swelling when exposed to the higher-ethanol fuel. Vehicles meeting BS-III emission standards were among those identified as particularly vulnerable to these effects. The findings suggest that owners of older vehicles may need to inspect and potentially replace affected components if they switch to E20 fuel.
