>>ended up removing and stripping the carb and there was contamination in the jets. I totallay cleaned the system, new filters and new tank of BP ultimate

This is more likely because the ethanol cleaned out the contamination in the fuel line. It doesn't appear to be uncommon, and the ethanol blend seems to always be seen as the cause...

Well...I feel I get a good run on ultimate and won't tempt fate...Brumby runs pretty good at the moment.

Damn. I only just changed a fuel filter and just started running E10 too. Bad idea probably huh? Why couldn't I have read this 2 months ago? ;)

I ran it in an EJ22. Loved it.

Also, I heard in Brazil they run E80. Subaru sells cars to Brazil.
