What should vehicle owners keep in mind?
Experts believe that if your vehicle is E20 compatible then there is no need to worry about using E20 petrol. At the same time, old vehicle owners must see the instructions given in the user manual of their car or bike. Regular servicing, use of right quality fuel and timely maintenance are essential for engine safety. Insurance companies usually investigate the cause of the accident or damage and do not decide on the claim based on fuel alone.
This is the reason why many misconceptions spread about E20 petrol are gradually being removed. The government is also promoting the use of ethanol blended fuel and vehicle manufacturing companies are preparing their new vehicles accordingly. In such a situation, the most important thing for vehicle owners is to understand the technical capability of their vehicle and use fuel only as per the manufacturer’s instructions. This will also maintain the safety of the engine and any possible dispute can also be avoided.
