WJ V8 running on E10

[Tardis]

Can anyone tell me if the v8 likes running on E10? all the Woolies servos in my area have stopped selling ULP and other servos will be changing over in the near futher,at the moment i am running on PULP.

I have used it ,actually prefered over ulp,& have no probs.
If youve got the HO motor you may need pulp.
Only thing with E10 is the ethanol in it will absorb water ,so if there is a lot of water in your tank it will mix & go thro the injectors etc which could cause issues.

I've been using least expensive fuel (including E10) on three different WJ v8 with various mileage since 2001. There is nothing I can highlight or outline. It just goes.

Thanks for your replys,i'll start using E10 when i can't get ULP,but i won't be going out of my way to find ULP.

It's an American car. America has been using ethanol for years. WJ Jeeps says it's OK to use. Hopefully will be OK

My WJ actually runs better on E10 than ULP. Acceleration may be slightly better on PULP, but I don't think by much. Only difference I notice is a smoother gear shift on PULP and tends to kick down a little less on it too.

Economy is pretty much the same for E10 & PULP (9.

Hope this helps.

I find mine runs on it, but chews it like it's going out of fashion. I normally run PULP (9 with my economy good enough to justify using it. I go from 13.8l/100km(highway) to 15.4l/100km(city) on PULP to 17.5l/100km(city)(don't remember what it was on the highway but it was pretty dismal) on E10.

I only use either 95 or 98 Octane fuel now due to the mileage benefits mine seems to get on it. Greater fuel economy, greater acceleration, smoother running. Works for me, your results may vary however, depending on the tune of your motor.
