What is a good source for ethanol or e85 when it isn't sold at the pump. I really wish I lived back in minnesota where you can get it for 2 dollars a gallon. Is there anywhere affordable to buy this in bulk? 55 gallon drums?

 

I'm in Minnesota and I've seen E85 at the pumps, but being from Ca. I have no clue what it is. haha, What's the deal with it?

 

Tarr Chemicals......

2429 N Borthwick Ave, Portland, 97227 - (503) 288-5294

They sell denatured ethanol and methanol. The methanol is $2.16 a gallon when buying a 55 gallon drum. $146 dollars delievered in the portland area including the $25 dollar barrel charge.

Ethanol is ~$430 dollars for a 55 gallon drum.

i couldnt even find one near me lol

 

ethanol is cool, 110 octane rating. idk how high e85 is though

 

e85 = 85% ethanol

 

E85 is 105 octane...

1070 RWHP, looks like it works pretty good.

 

Check these guys out. We used to buy E98 from them.

I am pretty sure ethanol has less energy per mass than regular gasoline. ?

and methanol has even less....but you can burn a lot more of it using the same amount of air.

Ah yes, isn't methanol air fuel ratio about half that of regular gasoline (twice the fuel)?

 

They no longer sell Ethanol in drums. If you want a rail car (8000 gallons) its the place to go....

 

I have never seen E85 being sold at the pump in dc/va/md area. are there any that i have missed??? It seems like alot of general motors, ford, and dchrysler/benz vehicles can use e85. This is deffn a cheaper high octane alternative than expensive *** c16. Im going to look more into this

 

My Tahoe is flex fuel, but the closest place to me that sells it is 150 miles away.

I think it is at alot of pumps in the midwest.

Now if it was legal as a replacement for racing fuel, it would be cool.

I've been looking at using it for a car for sometime and now that fuel prices have gone through the roof it just make sense now.

As stated in the link you need to adjust your fuel enrichment and spark tables to really make use of it.

Dropping it straght into your tank will prolly do nothing at all.

Seems a few people on the Twin Turbo Mustang forums have been running the stuff, check out that link.
