Does anyone know where I can buy a 55 gal drum or a 5 gallon drum of e85 or e89? I found E98. If I mix E98 and the lighter E85 and test it till it reads E85+ would that be ok for the Dyno? Americans will put up with anything provided it doesn't block traffic. - Dan Rather

If you have E98 mix 4.3 gallons with .7 gallon high test pump gas. This will give you 85% mix. That is what I would do also. Verify it is really E98, and mix pump premium gasoline with it. If you have a good cheap supply of E98, and it is just for racing, I would set everything up to run E98??? 1993 Daytona, 5.50 at 130mph (1/8) 1.19 sixty ft (PG). Link to 572 B1 - Part 1
