Red M900 at Suther's Garage Longton

I forgot to introduce myself whilst admiring the very nice M900 parked up at the garage.

Hello Iain

Young Harry Suther went to school with my son and works for one of my suppliers, is the 900 for sale?

Indeed he does , and a very good site it is too !

Thank you for the kind words. The bike certainly has character even if it is a little loud. I might have to think about getting db killers but I do have a sympathetic MOT tester .

We met at an Esso garage which I make a special journey to because its poshest petrol doesn't contain ethanol. I do hope this is true.

Cheers

Nigel

Dont worry, Nigel, it is! Easy to check if you have any doubts.

Stop scaremongering, Jerry!

I have just tested 100cc of Esso Synergy Supreme+ from a Jerry() can I filled last Wednesday, (at an E5 labelled pump), and there was absolutely no ethanol whatsoever in that sample.

Don't just take my word for it, try it yourself if you don't believe me. It only takes 30 minutes and you don't need any special equipment - just a jam jar and marker pen will do. Full details here:

I've covered this labelling issue before so please read this reply I posted the last time you claimed this.

my Mates in sussex tell me this is the case and all ESSO 97 pumps now have E5 labels


very sad new indeed ,, for those of use with carbed bikes

So, apparently(!), the appearance of 'E5' labels on forecourt pumps has nothing to do with any changes to Esso's Synergy Supreme+, it is merely the application of new fuel labelling guidelines previously announced by the government back in February.

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/g...-greener-fuels

Under the new rules, two new labels must be shown on all pumps by September - 'E5' and 'B7'; 'E5' means petrol with an ethanol content not exceeding 5% (so including ethanol-free), and 'B7' is for diesel with no more than 7% FAME (Fatty acid methyl ester).

If and when 10% ethanol fuel is introduced, then a new label 'E10' will be introduced for 5%-10% ethanol content.

There is still no legislation requiring a minimum ethanol content in fuel; legislation only governs maximum ethanol content.

An email to Esso yesterday prompted the now familiar response i.e.

"Esso Synergy Supreme+ is ethanol free (except in Devon, Cornwall, the Teesside area and Scotland) and we have no current intention to add ethanol to Synergy Supreme+ in other areas of the UK."

So...as you were!
