The fuel system of the 986 is able to handle E10 without getting harmed. Please see Porsche approval above.
Found a more detailed information on ethanol fuel on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_fuel |
Not in the near term, but longer term is more questionable. Porsche, like many others, use mild steel for their fuel lines, injector rails, etc. Several shops have reported in the trade press of encountering these mild steel components starting to corrode from the inside out. We have seen this on a couple of early 986's in the shop.
So while it is "approved", it may not be ideal, a lot like their oil of choice.
