Re: E85 or E98 By The Drum?
i have been working with a company called GLACIAL PLAINS in Benson Minn. I have been shipping drums of e98 for them for a couple of years now. Here is the number 800.697.5311 ask for Joel James. I run e98 in my hot rod crx i love it and plus being sponsord by them is a bonus.. tell him Mike from FREIGHTQUOTE.COM sent ya. I also have the formula to break down e98 to e85 so you outlaw guys can run legal fuel for certain events.

It says on their web page have a compression ratio of 14:1. What's that about and what's the big difference between that and the E98 they sell? I'm getting away from Q16 and would like to know more about what I am dealing with here.
I know its cheaper and makes your engine run cooler, but ethanol is all new to me

I will be ordering ALOT of E98. If you are that close to Chris im sure he can line you up with some, but you are more than welcome to get in on my buy. I plan on stocking the stuff since our closest E85 pump is 3.5hrs away and alot of people around her want to run it.

Could you please pm me the information of the place in Idaho you get your fuel from? I'm in the process of switching fuels and looking for places close to me.

Re: E85 or E98 By The Drum?
Been thinking about trying out the ignite as well, then again have been tossing around E98 too, or just getting a 30 gallon drum to fill with pump E85, that way I can use it when the pumps are still E70 (which seems to be until late May around here).
Trying to weigh the options of each though. I know with E98 I will need new injectors, E85 I can keep the same setup as I have now, and with Ignite, I am just worried about the cost. PTE wants $315+tax for a drum of E98, which breaks down to about $6 a gallon...
I can pick up a 30 gallon drum for $75, and fill it with E85 for $93... seems like the best course of action at the moment. Would love to be spraying on E98 though...

Re: E85 or E98 By The Drum?
There was a tax credit on ethanol that ran out, and was not extended, so the price of all ethanol will most likely be increasing. I'm in Idaho and get E98 by the 55 gallon drum. If anyone wants to check on shipping I may be able to help get some drums out to people.
