Ok, so they finally opened up a station in the Bay Area.
My problem is the station is across the bay from me, so If I go and fill up there and then drive back home, with the stupid traffic:mad:
I think I will use more then a 1/4 of a tank getting home. but in reality, I think it will be more then that.

So there any safe way to store let's say a 50 gallon drum in my garage?

Thanks,
Mark
 
The key problem with E85 is keeping it 100% free from water. It cannot, absolutely cannot allow water to get in to it. If it does it will really mess up the fuel with contamination.

I am not sure of the venting or pressure building issues in a drum, don't wanna bomb in there for sure. But somehow it is stored, but I don't think storing for long is advisable, unless you can control the water.

Sorry, not much of an answer....
