I've always used Redex to keep the carburettor jets, then the injectors clean.

But E10 has raised a requirement for some petrol cars to need a "dispersal agent" to break up the water that forms in the tank due to the ethanol, especially if you are a low mileage driver, or drive with an almost empty tank. My friends in Canada recommended a few, but they are not available in the UK. This also applies to lawnmowers and chainsaws that are stored with fuel in the tank for long periods.

Terms to google: Sta-Bil, STP ethanol, phase separation.
