Hi Simon,
There is a pretty good precis on the subject here:
<https://www.hemmings.com/blog/index.php/2012/11/14/tech-101-ethanol-in-gasoline-and-its-effects-on-collector-cars/#comments-block>
The only issues that I have personally encountered have been with the
diaphragms in SU HD series carburettors so I would definitely replace those
with modern replacements before filling up with E10 or E85
I have been told that ethanol can damage cork seals although I have yet to
see evidence of this.
I understand that currently available parts are ethanol compatible.
