Is E85 still ok to use after sitting 4-5 months?
Just like the title states, I've had my car ripped apart and finally ready to run at the strip this weekend. My question is i have about 10 gallons of E85 in plastic drums that have been sitting up for about 4-5 months now. Can I still use it for this weeked? E85 isnt available where I live, and to fill up is a 2 hour trip lol.

As long as it was sealed properly in the drum. You should be golden to race

I would just test it with the summit e85 tester. As well as visual inspection of the fuel itself. If in a tank, maybe check regulator or filter to be extra safe. You should be fine, but never hurts to be xtra careful.
