Ignite E98 ethanol race fuel
Posted this on the MA bmw fb page, figured I'd throw it out here too.
Whatsup everyone, Wanted to put out a feeler for the 135/335 guys. Looking into getting 4 55 gallon drums of Ignite E98 race fuel. I would be looking to sell 2 or maybe 3 of them. Price would be 300 each, they could be picked up in Dracut, ma or I could offer delivery within a reasonable distance. Just throwing it out there, let me know if there's any interest. |

High ethanol content means you have to use that gas very quickly or it'll turn to junk, might have to wait until spring when people start driving more again.

I believe the shelf life is 2 years if it is the same as the 260gt from sunoco. You could also add drops of octane preservatives.

260GT is 10% ethanol and, e98 is 100% ethanol. You could very well be right that the E98 has a higher shelf life than is typical of the pump gas you'd get at any regular station. That stuff doesn't last 3 months in storage. I just really hate ethanol sitting around but I suppose if they are selling it in that large of a quantity it has to be able to 'keep' for a long time.

Unopened drum should last 2 years. Opened to atmosphere it collects water fast. My stock car buddies only buy it on race day and the drum is newly opened same day.
