Ethanol-free petrol is available over much of the country - from Esso’s website:

“Although our pumps have E5 labels on them, our Synergy Supreme+ 99 is actually ethanol free (except, due to technical supply reasons, in Devon, Cornwall, North Wales, North England and Scotland). Legislation requires us to place these E5 labels on pumps that dispense unleaded petrol with ‘up to 5% ethanol’, including those that contain no ethanol, which is why we display them on our Synergy Supreme+ 99 pumps.”

Ethanol-free long-life fuel sold for garden machinery is low octane and unlikely to be suitable for our bikes.

For those machines covering a very low annual mileage, an expensive alternative racing fuel could be viable (ethanol free with a life of c. 4 years; 99 RON).  See R Storage Plus on AAOil.co.uk
