    What about using something like Millers additives Chris? (other additives are available)

    It’s about 20p/l for the treatment. Premium isn’t that much more is it? Less hassle too. I suppose one could alternate between additive and premium. It would probably be worth putting some additive in with the last top-up of the year too, so the anti-E10 component could protect the fuel system over the winter.

    Yes, steer clear of E10 at the pumps, but take some additive with you just in case.

    Esso has a fuel grade with no ethanol content although at present it's only available at selected stations.

    Or use Millers VSPe which is a tad more convenient, I have used it for several years to keep my Guy Croft twin cam happy.
