E10 Fuel Update for Honda ATV & UTV

All Honda ATVs produced for the EU market since 1993 YM (year model), are compatible with E10 petrol. However those equipped with carburettors could experience ‘poor driveability’ in cold weather conditions when using this fuel.

If your ATV is aged pre 1993YM, or you are unsure of the year your ATV was made and whether it may be compatible with E10 petrol, please contact Honda Customer Service with details of your ATV's 17 digit VIN (vehicle identification number), on 0845 200 8000.

In brief: Petrol that has up to 10% ethanol content.

E10 petrol is a new fuel specification for petrol powered vehicles and equipment. The E10 fuel specification has the same quality standards as the current regular unleaded 95 petrol but allows for the inclusion of up to 10% ethanol, where as the current regular unleaded 95 petrol allows for the inclusion of only up to 5% ethanol.

E10 petrol meets the same quality standards as current unleaded petrol 95, but a greater volume of renewable fuels may be blended in to it. 

Some petrol engines, especially older ones, may face some issues of material compatibility when using E10 petrol which may affect the vehicle/device’s fuel system and/or engine. Diesel powered vehicles and products cannot use E10.

Serial numbers are usually in the form of a 4 digit letter code followed by a 7 digit number code (eg ABCD 1234467).
