Default RE: E85 might be E70 ???


ORIGINAL: KidEpoxy

Just put some ''E85'' in a can to experiment with,
and the pump had a sticker that said the minimum ethanol content was 70%.
What the heck is that?
I was hoping to blend some E85 with castor, and maybe a some glow fuel to help catalyst action,
but now I got no idea what % of alcohol(eth) I got in my E85 can before I even mess with it
Its gonna be a crapshoot when buying E85 as like you said its posted "minimum 70%". I'm sure the blend will change some with each refill of the station's tanks. One can might have 89% and the next may be 72%. I think you're just going to have to experiment some and know that each time you buy E85 that your ratios may have to change some.
