Going to dispel another ethanol myth.

Storage.

Topped off and sealed this drum on 9/13/11. I’ll test the content in the spring and verify it’s still E83. I’ll also test those few gallons of pure ethanol sitting on top of the drum and see how they are doing, too.

Is this myth referring to the "separation myth that people claim happens with the E10 in regular gas or is there another myth associated with E85 specifically?

There is a common myth that E85 does not ‘store well’. As usual, it’s not supported with actual facts or research.

we wait

i hear if you keep it in the dark it will age like beer. /pjb

lets call in the carb king

:rofl

HUMMMMM. I like experiments that make disbelievers STFU! Subscribed! :number1

Is it even legal to hold that amount of fuel in your house?!?! Not being a dick, I honestly want to know.

Id assume so, provided u don’t have a towel on your head.

  • rep LOL

I’m 99% sure there isn’t any law on the limit of fuel storage, just rules on proper storage.

:ohnoes

interested to see what happens.

Got some leftover E83 (other than what’s in the drum), so I’m going to fill the tank with it and see what it reads in the Spring. My guess? E83. I’ll datalog the car and look at the A/F, etc with it, and do the same with the stuff with the drum, and then from the pump.

Storing it in a sealed drum is a lot different then storing it in a car’s tank.

hence the reason he’s doing the experiment
