E20 may harm rubber parts of vehicles manufactured between 2005-16: Nitin Gadkari
Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari announced in the Rajya Sabha that E20 fuel may damage rubber parts in some BS-III vehicles manufactured between 2005 and 2016. While studies indicate no major performance issues for overall vehicle operations and BS-VI vehicles meet emission norms with E20, legacy vehicles could face rubber part replacements. This revelation raises concerns for owners of older vehicles as they may need to address potential maintenance issues.
