With E10 being mandated in many areas, has anyone had any issues with it? Mainly I'm looking for issues with fuel systems deterioration in our older cars, not performance issues.

As far as I'm aware the highest percentage of bio-ethanol you can get in Uk is 5% (E5) which is Tesco 99.

Some other EU countries have introduced E10 thou. It may kill off some old classics.

Some other info here.

We still are lucky to have some pumps that don't use ethanol, but those are the higher 92/94 octane which is what I use

Just about everything here is now 10% ethanol. Do you think I'll have any issues with fuel-line or seals deteriorating?

Official Statement fromHonda Europe (North) is:
all injected engines can get E10.
