  • Drum of E85

    Hey guys, so I have a couple friends that are running or about to run e85. They were thinking about having a 50gal drum delivered to their house. Was curious if anyone on here is doing the same thing, or knows of a compnay that can deliver fuel. Thanks in advance.

    Why not drive to a station that has it? Worst case you can buy a clean fuel drum and toss it in the back of a pickup and go fill it up.

      That fucker would be too heavy to lift and pour into the funnel tho!

        I have used a 15gal fuel cell. In the back of the truck it makes an easy fill up into the car's tank with a hose and nozzle. When the car was running, I would fill up five 5gl fuel cans at a time in my truck to keep the car topped off. Hell, last month I gave the city of Fort Worth 25gls of 2 year old E85 to dispose of though.

        I live in Haslet. There are only 3 places that are near us that are close enough to where it is not counter productive ie. doesn't take too much fuel to get there.

        They just opened a new one in Keller. Perfect for me since it is a usual route for us.

        that is why I used 5gl fuel jugs and poured them into my fuel cell to pour into the tank via the hose. I tried the 5gl and funnel thing and it is a disaster waiting to happen.

          Think its more of a convenience thing for them to just fill up at home

            You guys should look into the group buy that went down on a tanker of gas on dfwstangs. It went over really well.

            I haven't checked in awhile but last time I looked not many stations around with e85 (less than 8? around dfw?) So for many people it could quickly cost more to drive there/back than delivery.

              Off of I35 across from the Speedway.

              Off of Hwy 26 at Kroger in Bedford?

              New one, off of North Tarrant Pkwy in the Aldi Valero station

              Are the only ones I know of in my area. Even on the "find E85" app.

              I may be going away from E85 and 120#s to a primary tune of 93 and 83# injector. Trying to map a trip to take the car on is impossible on a E85 tune.

                E85 is hot in Texas. Flex Fuel Vehicle sales are up and the price spread has widened to nearly 25% in Texas largely due to the Kroger chain which just months ago had some of the worst e85 pricing /price spreads in the Country.

                  E85 is everywhere here in the midwest but the quality through the year scares me.

                  Best gas i can get is 91, but there is a shop 15 miles away that sells race fuel.

                              just so you guys know my friend has been doing lots of E85 and the stuff at the pumps is super dirty ( clogs filters in about 15k miles) and has averaged about E55 from an ethanol reader that we installed on his car. The E85 is unregulated and made with the worst possible fuel blend they can mix it with. He finally went with ordering E98 and mixing it with premium until he gets the mixture his car likes best.
