but it will be fun doing it.

i drove to work today for the first time in months. i was all excited about it only to have end up being a miserable experience. i've forgetten how badly people drive. i can tolerate 60mph and in both lanes on a congested highway but the constant lane changing only to do the same speed and brake checking and simple lack of interest in the task at hand makes me wish i sat on the train.

I didn't. I didn't have anything safe to put it into. Speaking if this, Em Square Performance will be order 55 gallon drums of pure E-85 as soon as the shop gets going. I've been talking to Marc and Mike into offering it, and they are willing to give it a try!

^ How would that work though, fill up off a flow-n-go or something and then they just charge you "x" amount for the gallons you purchased?

the thing about the e85 being more like e70-76 doesn't bother me much because i was tuned on it. what would happen if i ran pure e85? would it be too lean (lean on gas) or too rich (rich in ethanol)? and how would it affect afr's?

Not to mention the township if you ever had a problem...

Pretty sure it would lean out. Petey would be the one to ask about that though.

I wouldn't even ask the township. If you ask there will surely be a permit fee or maybe you wont be allowed. I would just put and H2O sticker on the drum.

You philly guys should talk DSB into putting a skid tank in his F150. He could run around with 90gal no problems.

Mobile E85 FTW
