All depends on environment. You can get an e85 tester and just test it to make sure. I would think it could sit a couple weeks without any issues, but all depends on environment.

I cant see those cans of VIP race fuel being changed often from speed shops.

Yea i would think at least 2-3 weeks but im not 100% haha. And yea i think ima just get a tester to be on the safer side haha

How you get to my current numbers is a mix of rando bolt ons and octane.

Hey Brian i was thinking about doing bm3. Ive got a question about e85 mixing that maybe you can answer.

I am fbo with meth and usually run an e35-e40 mix. Right now i have a jb4 which is great because if i am low on meth i can switch to map 2, If i dont have time to go to my e85 gas station, then i can lower my methanol settings to account for lower octane. It is very versatile and allows me to change maps on the fly.

To accomplish a similar setup with bm3 i would go with an ots 93 map, a 93 and methanol map, and a 93, methanol and e35 map.

My question is, how fussy is a ethanol mixture map. For me it is not an exact science as i have to estmate the amount of fuel left in the tank when gilling up. Sometimes i may end up with e32 and sometimes e40. I am usually pretty consistent around e35, but there is definitely some guess work.

with the amount of e85 our cars can run, a few gallons only, you dont really need a dedicated map.

Our DME's adapt to the fuel mixture after a few miles.

Please verify, but from what I recall e85 has a tendency to absorb moisture at a much higher rate than petrol. You can probably use some sort of ethanol stabilizer to store it longer.

I use Lucas Oil ethonal stabalizer in my car when I remember to buy it.

I stored 5.3gals of tested E88 consistency/content back in November in my non-weather controlled temperature in Central NJ moved 2 months later to a weather-controlled garage and opened it and tested it on March and tested at E85% so not much to worry if you have stored it in the dark.
