Been quite a few scare stories in the press about how E10 petrol - coming

known to attack older 'rubber' flexible fuel pipes. Which don't last
forever anyway. Much of it generalization, but one specific was
mentioned.
It attacks the solder used on carburetter floats (those made of brass).
Any comments?
Nope, but if I had a classic car:

Or petrol lawn mower.

This doesn't answer the question of whether E10 fuel will damage petrol
lawn mowers, though.
