Your going to use 1/4 tank by the time you get home Paulie, the one in Hallam, is that the one on the corner of Prinny hwy and Hallam Rd?

cant be that bad, pretty sho u should still be ablw to get around 400ks out of a tank

[Pazzo]

Nah it's not, just $hit stirring, just but of a distance to fill up for me.

Never had an issue with cranking on pump or E85 with my surge tank? Always starts first go.

Been interesting to see how long it can sit for.

e85 is just as good as any fuel within tank life if u fill up every 2 weeks yes its going to drop octaine just like 98

With guys running with Eflex, I understand that there are winter and summer blends. However does it remain consistent during these seasons from servo to servo?

some info here

http://www.fuel-testers.com/about_ethanol_fuel.html

and from another site

Ethanol absorbs moisture from its surroundings. Around 90 to 100 days, if not used, ethanol in your gas tank or engine enters a "phase separation" stage, where two layers of liquid are visible. After phase separation, ethanol drastically changes, with its octane rating slipping by as much as three points. For example, if you bought 110-octane ethanol gas, after phase separation, you will have only a 107 octane rating or lower, which can be detrimental to the engine. One strategy to boost ethanol's octane rating is to burn the fuel as soon as possible before phase separation occurs.

Would phase separation still occurr if the fuel was in a sealled plastic jery can filled to the brim?

Not sure, but believe it would be affected from a little moisture with just the normal handling practices, brake fluid absorbs moisture from sealed braking systems, so there is a strong chance ethanol fuels would as well

if the e85 is braught in already sealed drums it has a storage shelf life of years
