    <p>I do not know where the limit of the percentage of ethanol in
      petrol is. I have used E15 on and off for a long time
      (&gt;20years) in my cars, including my Jensen-Healey without any
      problems. Theoretically power should be down a bit but I never
      encountered separation, even when the car has not been used for
      more than 6 months, no corrosion in the fuel tank, fuel pump or
      carburettors, no problems with fuel hoses (which I replace every
      10 years or so anyway and have done so on any car since the
      1960's).</p>
