Well in that case either there is some very agressive chemical addiditive in the ExxonMobile/Honda fuel spec or the material selection for ethanol based fuel was poorly done. Second explanation seems unlikely. Third option failure due to vibration/fatigue?Andi76 wrote: ↑11 Apr 2022, 20:22Sky Germany just reported that the "fluid" Verstappen mentioned was FUEL. They did not say where this information comes from, but they are well informed usually. So Verstappens car seemed to have a fuel-leak. The problem probably was the fuel line that connects the fuel tank with the high pressure pump on top of the engine, which takes the fuel pressure for the direct injection system.
The word is that E10 damages this fuel line.
