Ethanol-blended petrol may damage car engines by harming fuel pumps, according to a US study funded by oil refiners and car makers.

The industry groups have opposed the standard set by the Environmental Protection Agency that allows so-called E15 blended fuels, which contain up to 15 per cent ethanol.

In Australia and the US, most service stations sell E10 blends, which are deemed safe for most modern cars by both manufacturers and petrol companies.

But while the EPA cleared the E15 blend for most vehicles sold since 2001, the study released by the Coordinating Research Council shows it may cause fuel-pump failures, component swelling and problems that could trigger on-board diagnostic system breakdowns.

‘‘Given the types of vehicles tested, it’s safe to say that millions could be affected,’’ Bob Greco, the American Petroleum Institute’s downstream group director, told reporters.
