Rubber parts of BS-III vehicles may require replacement due to E20 fuel usage, says Nitin Gadkari
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari stated that some rubber parts in BS-III vehicles may need replacement due to the use of E20 fuel, though studies showed no significant performance issues for most vehicles. He noted that while legacy vehicles generally perform well with E20, those manufactured before 2016 may require routine servicing for rubber components. The announcement comes amid growing criticism regarding the compatibility of E20 fuel with all vehicles and concerns over potential maintenance costs.
