In newest premium 2strokes is ok when they are noted to be usable with E10, E15, E25. Prior to that- likely troubles. Small engine shops figure the E10 as job security for repair business. Early 4 strokes- some carb fouling problems. 2 strokes- fuel lines, carb and in a couple case engine seals failures. Motorcycles- my early Goldwing needed carb rebuild 2 years back. 1985 to 1990 american market is supposed to be safe for motorcycles, most raod vehicles- but small engine equipment didn"t get market certified types-and that was optional certificate- until 2002 or 2004. California market didn"t push it early like somethings as California was using MTBE instead of Ethanol as clean air additive until it was declared cancer causing. Brazillian market small engines were in most cases the earliest ones to be noted as meant to use E mixs. Look for iron and brass castings instead of aluminum/mag with zinc castings. German market? check your local version of EPA or DIN standards- might have a optional testing cetificate for Emix ot a date of mandatory compliance. I use straight gas if I have a choice for small engines and cycle, cars and van- premium if that is only straight gas available. RN
