It will go up as high as 88% after sitting long enough shruggy
My 15.0 to 1 compression S/P bracket race motor didn't seem to notice the difference between fresh E85 out of the local pump or after sitting in the jugs all winter gaining more alcohol content: confused
I do have a decent hydrometer that I use to use when I race in NHRA stock classes back when they would check the specific gravity on our race gas, maybe I should use it now on the E85 to see if it changes or not after sitting in the jugs a long time: work:


Wow, I'm shocked it's still stable after sitting all winter. Do you add a stabilizer ?
