Mattsv8 Posted November 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 i know their 55 gallon drums. i want to get away from the sometimes inconsistant pump e85. so i can actually lock in the tune and up the boost with the dart block in 2011. or e85 by the drum so i know its not pump and also consistant.

AJ Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 whats the shelf life of e98? gasoline is 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 Depending on my car I might want to try out some E98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koolrayz Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 whats the shelf life of e98? gasoline is 2 weeks. I used some late this summer that I bought last spring. It was well over one year. I saw no difference between it and a fresh drum. I keep the barrels closed up and only open them when i am unloading. As far as whats in the tank I never let the car sit for long periods of time. I raced every week so it rotated out quickly. I never did crazy stuff like draining the tank after every use. I read on the bullet that others had it stored in drums for over a year with no known issues. I didnt mention the drum fee. It is 20$ per drum. They let me bring my old drums back for returns. Another tip for pumping the barrel out. Instead of buying a high doller ethanol barrel pump I took an old walbro I had laying around, a takeout stock pump would also work well. I took about 15' of cheap fuel line and about twenty foot of wire with aligator clips. I drop the pump with the filter sock on it into the drum hook it up to a 12 power source and you have a dirt cheap filtered electric pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 If I am switching to e85 next season Im gonna need a couple. ill ask if they have 85%. im moving up since im going up in power too. just lookin for consistant fuel and 8.50s. cant go faster cage wont certify to 7.50s and im not adding a funny car cage. i heard that the places that do have e85 is more than 98. also rocketbrand wants 8.90 a gal for e85.

koolrayz Posted November 25, 2010 Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 The E85 is cheaper at the pump because it takes extra handling to drum up the E98. Will if you want E85, use the E98 and mix it down with pump gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsv8 Posted November 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2010 i think i can get 8 drums at work for free. so should hopefully be the 290 for 2 drums x4. or 1160 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comebackkid Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Let me know when you go get some and hopefully they have e85 at a decent price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
