Are Land Rover vehicles able to run on ethanol blended petrol?
All Land Rover vehicles imported and sold by Land Rover Australia since 1986 will operate satisfactorily on unleaded petrol containing ethanol blended up to 10% (“E10”) provided that the fuel octane recommendations in the Owner’s Handbook are adhered to. To avoid any operational issues, the vehicles should also be maintained in accordance with Land Rover servicing procedures using genuine Land Rover replacement parts. In general, some pre-1986 cars will operate on E10 ULP, however Land Rover recommends that they do not use ethanol blended petrol due to the aging of the vehicle fuel systems. It is important, however, that Land Rover vehicles with carburettors do not use ethanol blended petrol.
