What to do if your Gusto 110 is not E20 compliant
Fuel System Inspection: Get fuel lines, seals, gaskets, and O-rings checked at every service. Ethanol degrades non-resistant rubber components over time.
Fuel Filter Replacement: Replace your fuel filter every 10,000-15,000 km instead of the usual 20,000 km. Ethanol loosens existing deposits.
Monitor Mileage: Track your fuel efficiency. A 3-5% drop is normal on E20. If it exceeds 10%, consult your service centre.
Consider Upgrades: Some service centres offer ethanol-compatible fuel system parts. Royal Enfield offers E20 conversion kits at around Rs 1,700 for select older models.
Premium Fuel Option: Indian Oil XP100 (100-octane, ethanol-free) is available at select pumps at Rs 150+/litre for those who want to avoid E20 entirely.
