Buying E85 online..

I asked a couple of guys here that use E85, like I do, this question with no luck.

Is there anywhere on the net where you can buy drums of E85?? or E98??

I am moving soon and I will probably resort to buying it in 55 gallons drums or something of that sort.

Anyone who carries and ships VP should be able to get you the E85. I believe they also carry E98 now too. If not, they will soon.

According to the President of the Board of Directors with the plant that is being built near me, they can add a poisonous chemical to it other than gas and keep it nearly 100% ethanol.

The plant they are building is commercial. He told me they transport the fuel as E100 and when I asked him how they could do that he mentioned the chemical they can add to the fuel. He said it was not gasoline. I had previously heard that they ship the fuel as E98 but he said that was not the case for their plant. I can't wait to get my hands on some E100 as they offered me a sponsorship once the plant is built.

I don't think it's illigal. You just have to pay liquor taxes if you wanna use it without denaturing.

It depends on the plant if it comes as e98 or if they just add a non drinking agent to it before it leaves site.

At least that is how all the plants that i have been to do it. Which i think is around 50 ethanol plants or so.
