All the rubbers and seals in mine are new(ish) and rated to be used with E10.
Hi Allan,
Does that mean that NEW replacement components (eg: hoses, and pump diaphragms, etc) sold today, have to be fit for today's purpose, even though NOS may not be? ... if you see what I'm getting at.
Er, working on an "exchange rate of 0.7", (which is easier for mental arithmetic than 0.67), an old Landy doing 20 miles per Imperial will only be doing 14 miles per US gallon. I always work on 5 litres to the Imperial gallon, but suspect that is only a vague translation.
I'm glad to say that, being a pensioner, when the fuel gauge reads quarter full, I simply brim the tank, without noticing the quantity nor price (Doesn't everyone?). I let Barbara worry about economising ... elsewhere, where I don't feel it.
Fuel economy might become important, if fuel was ever rationed. If push comes to shove, I have some experience of Shetland ponies, and donkeys, and even goats (milk and meat). I have "milked" a Shetland mare. I believe that mules give the most "grunt per buck", but are intelligent enough to realise there is a "better life" ... and can/will kick backwards, forwards, and sideways.
I have seen pictures of goats pulling carts carrying disabled children. One of my goats gave a gallon of milk per day. Lamas can be ridden, pull a cart, and eaten, also worn as a hide, or knitted fleece. There IS an alternative to Mad Max, but not as much fun.
