Small trailer for hauling fuel to track meets.

And more details here.


Haha oh man, can't even imagine an Evo trying to tow that. It's my 18' trailer for my dad's STi which I track.

I've been using e85 in my Evo whenever I'm in town. Tuning an Evo wasn't too difficult to learn, Subaru ECU is a whole different story. We're finally getting the STi tuned on e85 since we now have the means to get fuel to the tracks.

Hey guys, be sure to properly evaluate Your storage situation. We don't need another of these threads in any of the car communities. Yes, storing race gas can be more volatile than storing E85, but it's still fuel for a fire. That guy is no idiot, and it happened to him.

A controlled environment is good preventative measure, but due to the severity of a failure You may consider an added safety measure - handheld (Ethanol) extinguisher at minimum, some kind of automated safety circuit at best. You may also consider a custom tank with safety features built in.

Enough lecturing. Now go break some [irrational] road laws.

Regards,

H. Kurt Betton
