anybody on va is doing this, i have to travel 3 hours to get some, i tried calling the fire marshall and left a message they never called back , i want to buy two 55 gallon drum and rent a u-hual ,

 

I am. Don't bother with the fire marshall. Call the state police and try to get Paul Baumgartner, he helped me out.

As long as this is for personal use, and you won't be profiting at all from it then you should be okay. Federally we don't have to follow hazmat regs, but good ole VA says we have to. That consists of travel papers, and properly labeled, secured, vented containers.

Here's what I've got:


Where are you traveling to/from to get e85? I'm guessing you're in Richmond by the username. There's a place south of Richmond that has e85, not sure if it's available to the public though. E85 websites say it is, but it's on government property. If you're in Richmond just come on over to Charlottesville, only an hour. Price just went up recently to $2.19/gal. Was $1.99 for awhile most of the summer and until lately.

 

sweet , thanks for the info! so where did you get your evo tune at with e85?over here in richmond the only place that has a awd dyno is adrenaline

 

and o yeah did you just leave your barrels on the trailer in the pic or you store it somewhere else?

 

What do you have in those drums for a vent- I do not recognize that style. Is it a combination pressure/vacuum/fill cap?- if so what model/make (and what is the pop-off pressure-if you know it)?

 

Read this says no polyethylene drums for e85?

Could be true- the is more than one type of polyethylene- in the link below if you put in "ethyl alcohol" in the left column- on the right you will get one ok- one unrated;

I cannot find the chart I was really looking for-- one that included more plastics and metals. I have it stored in my PC (rather than my laptop)- if I find it I will post it up.

Select "alcohol-ethyl" in the right box and "all" in the left ---unfortunately polyethylene is not in the overall list unless the product is under a different name.
