    Nissan Patrol 1991: Can it run E10?

    Nissan Nissan Advice Nissan Patrol Nissan Patrol Advice Nissan Patrol 1991

    I have a 1991 4.2-litre petrol Nissan Patrol and would like to know what type of fuel would be the cheapest to use when unleaded is phased-out. I am told E10 is not suitable, but E5 would be if it were available.

    The concern is that ethanol attracts water and fuel system parts corrode as a consequence, so carmakers tend to be very conservative when making recommendations like are being asked to with E10. E5 fuel contains five percent ethanol, a very small amount, whereas E10 has 10 percent, still a small amount. I would run it on E10 if that were all that was available, and I really doubt you would have any problem with it.
