Is there any united e85 nearby ?

I asked that question and was quite rudely told to try google

To save the hassle for anyone else, no there is no E85 at singleton, it is BYO

I am taking 3 x 20l and a 10l Jerrys with me just in case as are a few others

From my previous visits I did not notice any E85 at the petrol stations.

They do though have a range of petrol stations including Shell, BP and Caltex.

Sorry to hear you will be missing this Sam.

Hopefully everything will be sorted out with the car quickly!

bleh , was thinking of coming but maybe not , don't like the ideal of carrying so much petrol around guess there's always next time !

There's no E85 in Singleton itself but i imagine there would be somewhere close to the south end of the putty people could fill up at? Im not sure of the distance to singleton and back and how far a full tank gets you but maybe it would be enough up and back?

Ok for the E85 people here is the best info I could find.

Singleton does not have E85. The best options so far are:

Richmond Caltex which has EFlex and is 17.2km (17 minutes) from our start point or

United North Richmond which has E85 and is 13.3km (17 minutes) from our start point

A full tank of E85 gets me around 420km of day to day use but we'll probably burn a little more if we give them a (legal) squirt every now and then.

The cruise total length is approx 177km which means theoretically it's possibly to do this cruise on a single tank of E85. If you don't want to run the risk then 1 Jerry can of fuel SHOULD suffice. You could even organise with someone who is bringing jerry cans with them to bring one along for you and pay them for it if they are willing.

*All of these figures are approximations based on googles assessment of the route without taking into account traffic, enthusiastic driving etc, and my experience of E85 on my R34 gtt, and I will not be held accountable for anyone that runs out of fuel by using the above information*

I hope that will help clear any confusion. I plan to just do the cruise and chuck some 98 in if I'm desperate as I have a full flex fuel tune :)

I believe there is United E85 at Cessnock. So I am planning on filling up there so I can make it back home again after the cruise.

I did a search at that end but it said there was no United at Cessnock but that certainly doesn't mean there isn't one just that it's not online

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
