The E85 Thread

[dr20t]

I checked with Sucrogen in Port Melbourne today about storage. They say E85 can be safely stored in any container that is certified for use with Petrol.

I guess that means any of the red plastic or metal jerry cans from Autobarn or SCA.

I am also looking into a pump to assist with transfer from 20lt to tank. Any suggestions?

Use an old fuel pump with two hoses attached with clamps to inlet and outlet and clamped down

Buy yourself a small 12v battery with alligator clip positive and negative lead and hook up to a switch.

Voila...

Jiggler does sound the simplest and cheapest form. The electric fuel pump idea is a good one, but cannot be stuffed trying to find one and then all the construction and wiring. So I think for me, simple is best!

Moonshine on board this morning! Taking it easy and doing some logs until I get a more pure load. Only 53 out of 60 litres so I guess one would say I have a load of E77 on board for the moment!

Today's tasks: Jerry Can and Jiggle Siphon for contingency.

Not really, tyres are too sticky! Not sure that will be possible? Anything in the log to suggest otherwise?

Today's task complete! I got a steel jerry can, primarily for the good quality of the seal, and a large jiggle siphon (claimed 10 litres per minute flow). The plastic jerry's were not really to my liking. I looked at both Supercheap and Autobarn and all the plastic ones seem like poor quality specifically around the pouring fitting.

So only got a 20 litre reserve and also a mounting cradle to hold it in the boot nice and sturdy. Got to figure out the fastening of the mounting cradle yet!

Looking at it now

[chook]

So got my car back from insight today and....... Holy shit, dyno results put a smile on my face but the bum dyno on the way back to Canberra just blew me away. I took 60lt of E-flex with me, they filled the car did 43 dyno runs then after giving it a few squirts and averaging 120km on the way home it only took 35lt at the bowser in Canberra whhaaa? Is this normal with 20psi and 220awkw on E85? And my trip meter says 990km till empty.

Stoked, never going back.
