So my new motors coming together and im seriously considering running a ~30/70 mix of e85 and pulp after having some troubles with bad batches of 98.

I know a lot of the performance shops sell it in 20L drums but im guessing they like to charge a fortune? i contacted filters elite last year and they were charing around $500-550 for a 200L drum of the csr stuff and racefuels.net is currently selling them for $550. Bascially for those of you running it, where do you get it from, how much is it and how do you go with storing drums for long periods? Would anyone be interested in group buys of 200L drums?

Thanks

Its still illegal to sell at the pump in WA and caltex have said that even if this changes they have no current plans to bring it over as it costs too much to transport. Basically they're not interested in old Wait Awhile

Oh really, I wasn't aware it is illegal. Do you know why? Seems stupid to me.

Hmmmm, interesting. I entered a raffle about 4 weeks ago to win a new Holden SS E85 Commodore. Hope I don't win now seen as u can't get fuel for it.

Those new cars using active fuel management can run on any blend of fuel, not just E85.

e85 doesnt past some old volatility test, all the other states have adjusted the law to suit but WA hasnt

Filters Elite sell the PowerPlus E85, PowerPlus seems to be the best E85 my race car. I'm told the 15% petrol in it is actually racefuel not normal pump 98.

I have been using it since the start of the 2010.

yer its mixxed with race fuel and is definately a good quality fuel. but even normal e85 is more than enough for what im after so does anyone know if theres anywhere selling normal stuff at a lower price that?

bump - any idea what this guy is on about here

(in the comments, not the actual video) ?

"I upgraded to apexi power fc and upgraded the fuel system to handle e85 and never had prob with detonation and enjoying the extra octane boost ! definitely the way 2 go at $1 a litre"

upon looking into his youtube profile, he appears to be GMASTR from this site.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
