SP95E10 in France - Heads up.

Just had the Z serviced yesterday and I saw a notice in the shop
telling me not to use SP95E10 in the bike.

So I've just come off the phone to Kawa France. Apparently the new
SP95E10 is pretty corrosive [1] and Kawa recommends using either SP95
(if one can find it in the Paris region) or SP98. They strongly
discourage the use of SP95E10.

On the government site,
http://www.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=990,
they only talk about 'ondas, BM's and Trumpets, like no other makes of
bikes exist. It does say that SP95 is still available, but I can't find
it in BP.

Mind you, from this I'd assume that all other makes probably shouldn't
use SP95E10.

[1] To the point that it's been/is being banned in Germany.

 

The govt site says Honda's after 93 are OK to use it... I guess the Pan
will be fine as it's got carbs rather than injection...

 

Here in the UK, it's 5% max - and mostly tends to be around that, AIUI.

 

I suppose that's why we pay about 8 dollars a gallon - because it's all
good petrol and not diluted with single malt.

 

What's SP95E10 - some sort of carbonated beverage?

Jesus. This is turning into an epic of middle-aged misbehaviour. Well
done all.

Well done, all of you.

 

Heh. Were the other two meeting Mr Latex Glove?

 

Well done all for keeping very much alive the tradition of Brits
behaving badly abroad.

 

I avoided this. However I did collect three of the fines... totalling
(potentially) 750 euros. Ouch.

Still, didn't lose my clean license; although the French plod did manage
to tear it.
