E85 stations across the USA
 
I'm providing this link for those looking for E85 Stations near you. If you know of a station that is not on this list the link will allow you to submit the information.

http://www.e85refueling.com/

If you are curious about E85 we have threads available and this site helps. I also have a PDF file they sent me if anyone is interested in it. I can email it.

Use E85, burns cleaner and it's basically a great substitute for race gas at the pump.

Know the consistences in your area so you don't make the mistake in Using e70 when your tuned on E85.

Burke in Chelsea MA listed as a dealer..........but they will not sell e85 without a car present


Tried buying some e85 with race gas jugs and they said no only if a car is present

I'd talk to management as to why. Even raw (E100) automotive ethanol is denatured before its allowed to be sold - the law requires 3% (or 5%) gasoline to make sure its unsuitable for human consumption. You could always get a used fuel cell and tell them it's a racecar...

If they say its a legal issue with it not being a EPA-recognized flex-fuel car, you can always pull the "off-road only" baloney, which takes EPA mostly out of the picture. You could also tell them how your lawyer alerted you that it's susidized by your own tax dollars.

as of january 1st, the new spec for denaturant blending is 2.0-2.2% natural gasoline, and allowable water content went from .8% max to 1.1% max per Karl Fischer titration.
Just FYI.

I had this issue with a station in NM. They said it was because they dont have a license for bulk selling/transportation... something about how the containers are not grounded or "certified", and only can transfer fuel into vehicle tanks.
To me its a crock of sh!t because you can go fill up a 10 gal can for a lawn mower... nobody seems to care about that.

break this down in lay-mans terms so people can understand and how it effects us

so drive up, with them in the back of your car or truck, to the outside pump so they cant see you lol

It won't affect much, but the old standard for denaturant was up to 5% and now its around 2%, the only significance of this is that most ethanol plants will denature the 200 proof alcohol with natural gasoline, which is different than refined gasoline (natural gasoline is some by product of oil refining where they capture the vapors and condense them, so it is really low octane, very cheap), so the less denaturant the ethanol has, the better the quality is. As far as the moisture numbers, this change was made so that ethanol industry can now start using gasoline pipelines to transfer their product, and with pipeline usages comes slightly more water content due to the nature of the process. They slightly relaxed the standards to account for this, but I wouldn't be too alarmed as the new maximum water content allowed in ethanol is still significantly less than the amount allowed for in-ground storage tanks at gas stations.

Karl Fischer titration is the method used to determine water percentage of a substance in low amounts.

Re: E85 stations across the USA
 
so for those that are tuned on E85 will we need a retune and when will this effect take place?

HiProfile 02-26-2009 11:10 AM

Re: E85 stations across the USA
 
The user-level change is a slightly higher ethanol %, by about 2-3%, using a lower octane denaturing ingredient. I don't have a good calc with me atm, but I suspect the octane # should stay roughly the same but require 1-2% more volume to keep the same AFR's.

Cliffs - ~0.25 point AFR lean-out w/o changing tune, very slight milage decrease.

Virginia Beach FINALLY has a E85 station here on the military base (for public use)

I'm stoked, I don't have to drive to Richmond (1.5 hours away)

Re: E85 stations across the USA
 
sorry if someone already asked this, but if im running standard pump gas what do i have to do, if anything, to run E85??? the closest station to me is 80 miles, which isnt worth the drive, however im sure there will be a station serving up a nice helping of this locally fairly soon. thanks for posting this

Weird, i thought everybody had e85? im in Minnesota and i see it all the time... i know of atleast 2 stations within 5 miles

Well if you don't have a means to tune your car, the car will run super lean on E85. But if you are able to tune it, then just add a hell of a lot more fuel to your fuel map! I have 1000cc injectors in my car and the car drives add idles so sweet. Way better than when I was running 93 oct.

I live in iowa and i been looking for the station in cedar falls its on 31st and hudson there is a gas station there but i dont see any e 85 i know about the one in hudson city... I live in waterloo... I am going to get my car tuned on e85 here in a few weeks. I would like to know

Anyone have any info on how to try to get a gas station to carry E85?

OneBadTurboCRV 06-11-2009 06:25 AM

Re: E85 stations across the USA
 
Sucks for you guys in a 15 mile radius I think there are about 5 or 6 stations that sell E-85 at the pump. Drive right up and fill her up. Most of the stations are called Family Express and E-85 is about $2 a gallon right now way better than over $3 for 93...

Slink2000 06-11-2009 07:34 PM

Re: E85 stations across the USA
 
u would think with the size of Spokane we would have more than 1 station that carries it?

Nice! Norfolk Naval Shipyard has it but I wonder if they'll sell it to the yard employees, gotta find out.

It says only military personal.
I'm praying so, I'll just drive my car to work once a week or whenever it needs gas. haha

what kind of info?

turbohatch96y7 08-04-2009 09:29 PM

Re: E85 stations across the USA
 
well i was reading the stuff in jspecs sig but im wondering do i just fill up and go or do i need to change any parts out i have a 255 walbro and 450cc injectors is that okay.. also do i need to mix it with some regular gasoline?

jspeccrx91 08-05-2009 09:59 AM

Re: E85 stations across the USA
 
no you cannot just put it in and go. you have to tune for e85. the main thing i had to do was add more fuel, around 35% more if i remember right to get proper afr's. i run e85 straight and i didn't change any parts out except for bigger injectors and the tune. my walbro 255 is holding up just fine. i did a lot of research before switching to this stuff and i'm glad i finally decided to run it. b16 with 12:1 comp + 150 shot n2o + e85 = :):):).

OneBadTurboCRV 08-05-2009 01:59 PM

Re: E85 stations across the USA
 
Hell, all I did was put in a Walbro 255, some NGK 5's, and advance the timing. The rest is all stock, I have been driving the POS work car, a 91' CRX Si with a B16, for over 3 years this way. Putting close to 100,000 miles on this setup, nothing has gone wrong besides burning up a couple old oxygen sensors.

turbohatch96y7 08-05-2009 03:53 PM

Re: E85 stations across the USA
 
okay so just have it tuned right away on the new fuel.. thanks for the info.
