Getting e85 delivered
There’s no stations near me that sell the stuff, does anyone have any other options for what can be done? Idk if I can buy drums and get it delivered or what’s out there.
Options?

all large manufacturers will deliver a 55 gal drum for you. any shops near by may have a dealership agreement with a vendor and get you a discount too. it tends to be a little cheaper to have it delivered to a business but not necessary. like mentioned above you have VP racing fuels, renegade racing fuels, etc etc. just google 55 gal E85 drum and should show a few options.

that's a lot of money for some fuel, especially as fast as these cars go through it... how far away is the nearest station from you?... it might be cheaper to get a 55 gallon barrell and fill that up and store it in the garage... not sure of the prices where you are at but in my area you could fill a 55 gallon barrel for about $120

I was around 800 with 16psi and 93/meth but already had fic 127s and then switched to e85 but I was able to keep those injectors but they are close to being maxed now... if you don't want to switch just yet you can buy a big enough injector that will support e85 later on and still work with your current setup that way you don't have to do it twice

yeah I had 127s on 93 and meth and duty cycle was in the mid 50s... if you plan on running e85 in the future the 80s won't cut it on ethanol... what is the rest of your fuel setup?

you might need bigger pumps if you want to run corn, I'm using two 450's in the tank... I'm not really sure how low is too low as far as duty cycle goes but those injectors were recommended by my tuner and I trust what he says and the car ran fine like that for a couple of years with no problems... when I switched to e85 I did not add any boost and haven't had the car back on the same dyno since swapping but I would guess in the 850-900 range now

I also am running 127's on e85 and meth. Buy bigger injectors than you think you will need. E takes 30% roughly more fuel than 93. Leave yourself room to grow and just in case 80's are not enough.

If you buy Ignite Red E85, the cost break maxes out at one full pallet or 4 drums. With 4 drums, It cost 1550 delivered without lift-gate service making it 7.05 per gallon. That's quite a bit less than I pay for C16.
