Anyone buying bulk E85?

By the drum or anything?

I take an empty drum to the station and fill it while the E content is good.

So far I've found 70% near me. So looking for options to get better stuff close.

I got a drum of Sunoco E85R

 

[Jbud]

Found it locally and snagged one.

Damm how much is a drum of that?

 

[Dalton@Evolution]

I usually grab a drum of E85R

 

[Jbud]

I'd have to double check but around 300 for the drum, fuel and delivery to my garage.

I would not store it in the drum with that pump installed because it will not be sealed. I have the same pump and it does not seal.

Is that c85? If so that's a great price.

What do you mean by not seal? They said as long as the vent is open on the pump and the spout is up I'd be fine. My garage has it's own HVAC and stays about 70 year round.

I dont think its C85 exactly, they have tons of 500 gallon tanks full that they fill the barrels from he said he could mix it at any strength I wanted. It tests at 85 on the nose. It almost sounded like he makes it on site to what you want but I didn't watch.

I have the same. Pumping in HVAC is actually worse than letting it heat up if you keep the pump in. Moisture it the biggest concern.
I keep mine sealed in my race trailer. Only use the pump when filling jugs. No issues so far.
First barrel I left it the pump in for two weeks and it went bad. But I use VP C85

So it not actually VP fuel. I would be sure to test it each time they deliver.

I will ask, it is a speed shop and they said it would be fine in the barrel, I'll test it each time I pull from the barrel since this is my first run of doing this. The shop is called Oil and Octane, they have a web site and carry both VP and Sunco full lines of fuel. Been around apparently a long time I just never knew. But thanks for the heads up. I just didnt want to risk the 70% at the local E85 stations.
