Thanks,Raff! How cool would it be to go less than a block to get a barrel of fuel? There is also an ethanol plant nine miles north of me but I don't know if they sell direct...
I dont think they can sell direct... they produce 100% alky so if they sell it it HAS to be cut with gas otherwise its alcohol(drinking stuff) and has to be taxed as such

That there would be funny..Getting tight on race fuel!! Now....I am thinking I need at lest a 1050 carb...Any favorites?
When I changed over to E-85 I was working so I payed to have it changed over... I sent my 1050 Holley to QF and had them do it since I didnt have the time .. it came back and was basically dead on.. I did jet up 2 jet sizes but the rest was perfect.and this is what I got back from them

Edelbrock makes a mech. fuel pump for alcohol.A friend of mine has one on his 582 cu in BBC that makes over 900 hp,says he would not change over to a belt drive or electric pump if it was give to him.I am sure they offer it for a Mopar engine as well.

You guys are so lucky you have to worry about fuel prices already! It's still snowing here today, diesel fuel in my 93 W250 is 4.09/gal though
I hear ya... I spend way more on diesel fuel to go racing than I do on the race car.... IT SUCKS
