Before using E10 Unleaded in non--automotive
applications such as marine craft, lawn mowers, chainsaws
and trimmers you should consult your handbook or equipment
manufacturer to check if the fuel is suitable. E10 Unleaded
is not suitable for use in general and ultralight aircraft.
E10 Unleaded
E10 Unleaded contains 10% ethanol. a renewable
non-fossil fuel. The ethanol is made from molasses,
a by product of Queensland sugar manufacturing. Use
of ethanol by Caltex provides a valuable source of income
and helps secure jobs in regional and rural Queensland.
Many consumers believe it is important
to reduce Australia's reliance on imported fossil fuels
and increase security of supply by production of fuels
in Australia. E10 Unleaded helps to do this. Expanded
use of ethanol in fuel will also help lower greenhouse
gas emisions.
Like all caltex products, E10 Unleaded
is a fuel you can trust. It meets the australian government's
strict fuel quality standards.
So next time you fill up choose E10 Unleaded!
If you’re unsure as the whether
your vehicle supports the use of E10, please contact
the Manufacturer or visit the Federal Chamber of Automotive
Industries website for further details.

Most vehicles

leaded petrol (LRP replaced leaded petrol in 2000).

on E10 Unleaded if they are able to use lower octane
petrol than LRP and. if necessary, use an after-market
anti--valve seat recession (AVSR) additive. Check with
your manufacturer for information or consult the list
of pre-1986 cars that can run on regular or premium
unleaded petrol without an AVSR additive on the Australian
Institute of Petroleum website.
