Experts have warned that E10 fuel could 'worsen pre-existing conditions' of older vehicles.

Motorists filling up at Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons are being cautioned about a common fuel available at all forecourts that could potentially harm their vehicles.

Darren Miller from BigWantsYourCar.com has voiced his concerns. He cautioned: "It's performance in cars with smaller engines could also be less efficient, as some reports suggest it falls short of E5's efficiency. For those with vintage vehicles, caution is advised when considering E10 fuel due to its increased ethanol content, which could worsen pre-existing conditions in older engines.

Before E10 was introduced, the standard unleaded petrol was E5, composed of 95 percent regular unleaded petrol and 5 percent renewable ethanol, reports Birmingham Live.
