91 Mini Tubbed Mustang Coupe

In the winter it drops down to around E70 in some spots. Big difference in blend.

I suggest getting a drum. That's probably what I will do this year. Ill have a heated garage so I wont have to worry as much about condensation and such.

I have to figure a way to plumb in a Flex Fuel sensor on my projects as I intend to drive them on the streets. I would hate to be up at The Green and run out of Drum E85. But for the track, drum E would be cool!

They add more gas to the E85 mix to make it easier to light off in the winter.

I learn something new everyday, Thanks guys!

No shit?? I thought it was just another reason to charge more.

Just about every e85 place around here drops in the winter time I deliver it.I would just get the drum

[Rick93coupe]

The way I look at it, if your using E85 to go fast, your probably not doing a whole lot of driving / racing in the winter. I think you'd be better off buying a drum of Ethanol and mixing it up if you get a lower mixture than you wanted from the pump. You'll be way ahead cost wise too.

We just saved you a new motor lol. I highly recommend getting a sensor. When I ordered my fore triple pump. I upgraded it so I could use a sensor. I saw a guy test his in the middle of summer and only got 40%. If a truck driver fills up the wrong tank with 87 octane. It could be the end of your motor if you was to rev it out. Cheap insurance if you ask me.

I buy a barrel or two of renegade e85 from Adam each year. I use it anytime I am going to the track. The stuff is pretty reasonable.

During the summer I fill up one of my empties with pump that tests good. That's what I use for running around on the street. My local Kroger and thorntons have tested anywhere from e67 to e88.

I always carry 2 cans with me anyways. I don't want to run out and the closest place to me is 20 miles away. On the SBZ cruise ins, I fill up before I go and use 1 can on the way home. So much for gas mileage!!!

For now I have just got 5-gallons from the local pump, I'm going to invest in purchasing it by the drum for the race season though.

[draggin50]

Have you tested it?

[2Fast4You]

Have you tested it?

No, it shouldn't be an issue just to run it in the garage.

[draggin50]

I was more curious as to what it tested at. It would be fine to run on either way.

[2Fast4You]

Gotcha

[draggin50]

I haven't ever tested any that I get so Im kinda curious. I need to go get some anyways so I may by the test kit and try it.

I broke one of my glass testers and needed to check something quick.

I used this. http://hagensdiy.blogspot.com/2012/0...nt-tester.html

It actually was just as accurate for those that like diy.

How much is reasonable? What I have seen is way more than good race fuel.

Thanks for the tip! Im going to look into that. I usually get it from 2 different places so Ill check at both.

A few updates since the last post. I converted to E85 with the E85carbs.com kit, it included everyting to do it using my existing 950HP.
I also removed the stock steering wheel and installed a Grant steering wheel w/ the Grant quick release and adapter.
Installed an LED light in the car so I can see in the evenings. The car still runs after the installation of the MSD Power Grid Ignition Controller, Heck Yeah!
Changed the ring and pinion from the 3.27 to a 3.73, should make a big difference for the 60', 1/8 and in the end 1/4.
As some already know, I was having issues with the car blowing through the tires about 20' out and the car shooting right.
PTC told me that the highway gear was putting to much load on the converter so I needed a bigger gear with this converter.
I will see how the 3.73 works and then install a 4.10 and so on, this is just work in progress. I hope to see some good passes soon.
