E85 Fuel Cell Setup?

So ya, I've been thinking about getting E85 for a while now cause of it's power making abilities and not to mention, cheaper than race gas. My problem is that the closest station to me is still about 37.5 miles (and that's only one way).

So I was thinking if getting a from 5 gallon drag race fuel cell from Jaz (http://www.jazproducts.com/drag_fuel_cells.html) along with the Aeromotive Tsunami Fuel Pump (http://www.aeromotiveinc.com/products.php?prod=4) (among other things like fuel lines, injectors, another fuel gauge, etc.)

I don't wanna get a 55 gallon though cause I don't have any storage and no pickup to borrow to drive around.

My questions are:

1. Is the Jaz suitable for E85 too or should I go with another brand like Summit or RCI? (BTW, someone told me that I should use the fuel cell for 91 instead and use the E85 in the evo. Seems like a better idea to me.)

2. Will the Tsunami enough to supply fuel like a double pumper or go bigger?

3. Or just wait till there's another E85 built closer?

Could be the best 91/E85 setup with Map Switching on the fly = FTW

Here's a 14 gallon container that doesn't take up too much space. Or you can keep a couple of 5 gallon jugs in your garage.

5 gallon fuel cell + E85 = you won't be travelling very far..

Or like Dave (mitsuevoix) said since he's in the same boat as me that do a 5 gal (or 10 gal) setup for 91 and use the evo tank for e85.

BTW, check out socalevo too. I have the same post in there.

The fuel doesnt have to mix as long as you have a truck style tank switch. You can switch it closed, burn the fuel out of the lines, open the E85 and business like usual.

It will still be alot of messing around for this though. Pump/meth sounds like a better alternative if you cant store fuel.
