E20 Fuel Debate: Will Ethanol-Blended Petrol Damage Your Car?

Is the E20 ethanol-blended petrol in your fuel tank safe for your vehicle? Could it affect engine performance, fuel system components, or mileage-especially if your car was manufactured before April 2023, when E20 compatibility became mandatory?

As millions of motorists raise questions over ethanol-blended fuel, the Centre insists there is no cause for concern. Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri has clarified that there is no immediate move to E25, and any future decision will be based on scientific testing and technical validation.
