Default e85 gas stations

Do y'all have any around that have it available? All the places around here are out and don't know when they are getting it. I want to get a 55 gallon drum of it and be done for a bit.

id test a gallon or two before I bought 55 gallons of it at once. From my understanding, E85 from the pumps can be way off on the number, so it would suck to get 55 gallons of a bad "batch"

sounds good. I have a tester I'll bring.

Now where can I find a drum to put it in? I searched around here and couldn't find any around here. The only thing I could find was places selling pre filled drums of oil.

http://ethanolproducer.com/articles/...-to-51-percent

Once the weather starts cooling off its not wise to purchase the pump E85. The winter blends could be 51% ethanol not the previous 70-83% Testers are always recommended.

With as many totally roached corn crops I saw driving through the good old U S of A I wouldn't be surprised if e85 prices started to climb, a lot.

bunch of pussies!! Fine with me, shit pumps slow as fuck as it is.. i've never had to mess with my tune, if they do switch it to e70 (winter blend) the car just runs slightly richer and compesates for the tenth of a point of octane reducution.. There is very little difference in octane from e50 and up.

I drove through Illinois last weekend and was amazed how bad the corn crop was. Those guys are in a hell of a drought.

That is still silly imo. Especially considering the price at the pump
