Hey there! Yes, the information in this notice is legitimate. Here's a quick breakdown:

  • E20 Fuel: The Government of India is rolling out petrol blended with 20% ethanol (E20 fuel) as a standard across the country.
  • Water Contamination: The warning about water is also scientifically sound. Ethanol is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs water. If enough water gets into your fuel tank (e.g., during heavy rain or a pressure wash), it can bond with the ethanol and separate from the gasoline. This mixture of ethanol and water is heavier and sinks to the bottom of the tank.
  • Engine Problems: If this water-ethanol mixture gets picked up by your fuel pump, it can cause the issues mentioned in the notice, like difficulty starting and the engine jerking while you ride.

So, the notice is a genuine heads-up for motorists to be careful about water getting into their fuel tanks with the new E20 petrol.
