From what I have heard, there are very few vehicles that should use E10.
It causes damage ! !
Empty it out and , and don't use it again

I know it's a bit late... however...
And mistakes happen... at least it's not diesel... If the engine is not designed to run on the stuff, don't put it in.
E10 won't do any long term harm, I'd be topping it up with 98 to dilute it down.
Not that necessary to drain it out, no worse than putting in Opal fuel out in the outback, crap fuel, but it washes through...
Biggest issue would be the effect it will have, "with long-term use", on the fuel system components which are mostly not rated to alcohol fuels eg. fuel lines, plastic components, even steel.
