A single blog post triggered panic across the internet, with many believing E20 fuel could get their motor insurance claim rejected.

ICICI Lombard has now clarified that fuel type does not determine claim approval. If a claim is covered on regular petrol, it remains covered on E20 as well. The real lesson is that Motor insurance covers sudden events like accidents, theft, and collisions. It has never covered gradual engine wear, whether caused by ethanol, poor maintenance, or normal usage. E20 won't void your insurance. But slow engine damage was never an insurance claim to begin with.
