Problems With Ethanol In Petrol

Ethanol & Oxygenator additions to Petrol are chemically aggressive and have a tendancy to infiltrate and attack the Rubber compounds historically used to make fuel hosing, 'O' rings and accelerator pump diaphragms.   These rubber components perish, swell and crack under the influence of Ethanol and ultimateley fail in their function.

So if this happens to your fuel line, when you are checking it or looking at replacing it it is not made by Codan or Coline and needs replacing right away.

When fuel line is left unchecked and not maintained it will perish.  There is no such thing as "Fit and forget." Fuel Hose.

There is a lot of anecdotal evidence on Internet Forums and increasing quantities of formal Technical Reports supporting this viewpoint;   In both Automotive and Light Aviation user groups.

A report from QinetiQ (The old Defence Evaluation & Research Agency, DERA) has been published highlighting these concerns in relation to Light Aviation where MoGas (ordinary Petrol Station Petrol) is used

October 2026

 Hello and welcome!

We have had another busy week this week with it now being a new month and almost a new year.

With 2027 just around the corner, we have been setteling into our new location in the Heart of England and looking at bringing out a few more new products for 2027.

WE will also be relaunching so old products now that we have more space to work and to hopefuly bring in a new recruit in 2027 too.

So please keep an eye on your recruitment vacancies and new team members for 2027.

Over the past five years we have worked with some local artists and looked at working in parternship with local business, schools and charitable organisations.

This can be quite challenging at times due to everyone biding for the same local funding or Govenment Grants inorder to stay in bussiness

At this moment in Time alot of the Middlands is being regeratated, making it a challange to travel around due to street closures, bussiness clousres and buildings being knocked down.

We still try to work in close partnership with UK Companies/Business when it comes to making and manufacturing our products.

With alot of work now being done over seas by big operations we still try to work with small independent business direct to try keep our products UK Maded and our prices resonable.

So please take a look at our facebook page, website and online stores.

For more information about our products and service please drop us an email.
