Just like the title says, anyone know of a few? I am close to the manayunk/roxboro area.

E85 blah, its hard on gaskets. Im all for alternative fuels, but e85 isn't the answer

NOPSTNS · 06-03-2007, 09:05 PM

e85s only advantage is reduced emissions, ur fuel economy will drasticallly drop....

but since u werent askin our opinion on usage....

try goin to BPs website, they have a list of e85 stations.

or try general motors site, e85 must blow them or something bc they advertise e85 like its the next greatest thing compared to sliced bread.

and fyi to anyone who cares ethanol is being used in some racing orgs. dont ask me why, but they are using it.
IMO hydrogen is the way to go (in the long run) but since no one asked me for my opinion,....

Not to start a fight, but the last thing i would want average joe idiot running around with is a 2500 PSI tank of hydrogen strapped to the bottom of their car.

I heard theres a spot on Vine Street that has e85. I have yet to try it though. T, just remember its double the injection.

olmytsi · 06-04-2007, 11:24 AM

Yeah, i heard about that spot from some dude on the link forum. Here's the address:

S & B Auto
1135-45 Vine St.
Philadelphia, PA 19107
215-928-9181

Spendone, yeah i know about the injector thing. I have to upgrade them soon (already in the 80% duty cycle at 22 psi) and i was just curious to see if it is readily available. They sell the e85 at the pump or out of drums?

Im probably just going to run a mix of 93 and e85 when i get the bigger injectors to see what it does for the car. Lots of people have been able to run few more degrees of timing, psi and been making way more power on this stuff.

The only thing i need to find out for sure is about the corrosiveness of it.

I just saw an ad for a truck yesterday (either gm or ford) and it is e85 ready from the factory (has an e85 badge on the back).

NOPSTNS · 06-04-2007, 06:01 PM

like i said, gm is makin e85 cars by the boatload.

just dont forget, the fule economy goes way down on pure e85. mixin it may not be a bad idea, but, it may not be a good one either i dunno about mixin it 50/50 with 93. but if ur gettin 15 mpg now, on straight e85 it may drop to 8 or 9 and if it were possible to mix it 50/50 ud be gettin like 11 mpg.

is it worth the extra hp?

olmytsi · 06-04-2007, 07:35 PM

Yes it is...

SpendOne · 06-04-2007, 10:36 PM

I hard they have it at the pump. Give it a try. Obviously the Link forum has nothing but good things to say about it.
