Even the carb Omni manual also says it is E10 compliant.
BHPian saket77 recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
Older Maruti Cars are E10 Compliant!!
I was in for a pleasant surprise last evening.
Had a short meet with DBHPian Leoshashi and what followed was a very pleasant discovery. We both own Maruti cars manufactured in the early 2000s. We learnt that his Maruti 800 (2000) and my Zen (2002) are both E10 compliant!! We confirmed the same by referring to the owner’s manual as well.
What gave the discussion some flight was that Shashi told me that the part numbers for some shared components of many cars from E20 and before E20 era are same like fuel pipes etc. This meant that they must be made from E20 compliant materials. To confirm the same, we searched through the manuals of many cars and found our finding to be true. This comes as a big relief for all old Maruti car owners, even if they are only E10.
Here are glimpses of the owner’s manual.
Here is 2002, MPFI Zen’s manual; E10 with RON 87 or higher:
Here it is from 2004 Baleno Sedan’s manual; E10 with RON 87 or higher:
Heck, even the carb Omni manual also says it is E10, (RON 85 or higher):
But no such luck with SS80 (Oldest Maruti Suzuki 800) which says to use only regular petrol and no mention of ethanol or methanol blending:
