E85 Suppliers

Been searching the internet and found alot of different RON levels and prices of E85... Who does anyone on here buy their's off?

I don't buy 'e85', I just buy pure ethanol and add it to the tank, let the flex sensor sort it out.

Ahh ok I was thinking that could be an option, who do you get your ethanol from mate?

Yeh there is a difference due to the summer and winter harvest, yeilds a different Ron. I will pm you

Thankyou mate

Can't wait to see the race between you two on Dragonball

Absolute ethanol or denatured ethanol?

Huh??

This is where I’ll be getting mine, chemiphase, people with Syvecs are running it well

I need to get flex sorted at some point!!

Likes others have said just buy ethanol and let ecu sort it

Huh??

I use exactly what Lee tells me to use in the car Al, I told Shawn what that was and just told him to speak to his tuner about it.

E85 is different (better) in summer than in winter, there's less ethanol in it, which has apparently caught a few people out

I only ask as we use ethanol and denatured ethanol at work and we get it cheap, also get methanol cheap too.

E85 is 85% ethanol and 15% petrol.

Hence why I’m confused at the summer and winter remark.

No problem, I just didn't want to make public comments about this and that when ultimately it's Shawn's builder/tuner who can decide, I'm unsure what mine is but I will take a closer look next time.

This is just a copy paste from Google mate. But it explains why.

For example, E85 sold during colder months often contains lower levels of ethanol to produce the vapor pressure necessary for starting in cold temperatures. For this reason, fueling site operators offering ethanol blends typically cannot carry over summer-blend E85 into the winter months.

Just read up on it, I thought it was the ethanol that was different, but it’s the amount of fuel in the pre made mix of E85.

Bloody pointless name as it’s not 85% lol

By the looks of it, you’ll be using either methanol or denatured ethanol.

Not sure on the denaturant or the percent of ethanol in the mix.

Let me know what you use, and I’ll see what it’s made of.

Yeah it's just a generic name apparently.

Summer Blend: Class 1 (min 79% ethanol)

Spring/Fall Blend: Class 2 (min 74% ethanol)

Winter Blend: Class 3 (min 70% ethanol)

So you can see how people can get caught out.

I don't use it very often, and my car pretty much topped the turbo out at 50% mix anyway.

Very easy to get caught out.

No wonder more people just buy ethanol and add it to the tank.

Thanks for all your help guys
