E20 and your car: what Zuno’s new Fuel Guard covers—and what it doesn’t | Mint
India is using more ethanol-blended petrol. Zuno General Insurance has launched Fuel Guard, an add-on cover for newer vehicles. It covers specified engine and fuel-system damage caused by approved blended fuels. The vehicle must be made on or after 1 April 2023 and approved by the manufacturer for that fuel. The damage must cause a breakdown where the engine cannot start or run.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Fuel Guard is an add-on from Zuno that covers repair or replacement of engine and fuel-system parts damaged by approved blended fuels.
- Only vehicles manufactured on or after 1 April 2023 and approved by the manufacturer for the specific blend, like E20, qualify.
- The damage must lead to a breakdown where the engine won't start; the cover allows one claim per policy year and excludes wear and tear.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Before buying Fuel Guard, confirm your car manufacturer approves the blended fuel and that you follow the service schedule. Also use the correct blend at the pump, since wrong fuel can affect your claim.
