Anyone know of gas station that has E85 along Dixie Hwy in Clarkston Waterford area....called several and none I can find
 
Doesn't every Meijer have E85? I usually get it there since I see people actually getting it there, so I hope that makes it more reliable. I never trust the stuff from the offbrand stations down on 8 mile that might not sell it very often.

Closest to me (in Clarkston) is the Shell station at Grange Hall/I-75.

Not sure how much you need but I have a full 55 gallon drum and can spare some if you just need a tank full. Let me know.

I never looked until I was at speedwY the other day and saw the sign for E85 says minimum 51% ethonal
 
When you talk about quality - do you mean in terms of % of Ethanol? The biggest risk I see worry about is that it gets too much moisture in it which is why I like a place that sells a lot of it. For a street car running E85, it should have the flex sensor, and it won't really care if you get 51% or 85%. In fact, at 51% you are probably getting a better deal for a regular car since you are getting more gasoline at a cheaper price.

But yea, if you are running a boosted car without a flex sensor, you could run into some real trouble if you are tuned to 85% and you get 51%. I think at that point I would probably be buying it by the barrel too.

Non E85 user but I had a question, how much deviation % can a flex fuel sensor correct for? Say if the engine was tuned on E85 and when you tested the fuel from the pump it was only E75, how will a flex fuel sensor respond?

As far as I understand, on an OEM tune car (not an aftermarket setup) it will adjust the tune anywhere between E85 and E0. It has to be super accurate in order to meet emissions with different fuel mixtures.

Thanks Whitehawk, so what about an aftermarket ECU from Holley or Motec or ???? I’m guessing it isn’t required to run a flex fuel sensor if your using drum fuel that matches what the ECU is tuned for?

Sorry, no idea what the aftermarket has been doing with E85.
