I had to move it out of the trailer and into the shop so I could use the trailer for drag week.... but of course I had to let it warm up... then had to spin the tires some in the driveway... LOL then when we got back home it went back into the trailer... but its E-85

We bought two drums at the first of the season and one is empty and the other one is almost empty. And we just run 1/8 mile, I couldn't afford to run 1/4 mile, heck as much as we use in the 1/8th. our small tank may not make it through the quarter.
