The greater metropolitan area of minot, lol! (with a whopping 1 E85 station, arggg #$@%% cenex having it at only one station downtown thats completely outa the way, @$%W$%^##$%)!!!!

I do know bismarck and fargo have it quite a few places. what the price in fargo these days for Regular and E85??

 

I thought E85 was bad for rubber. Don't you need synthetic O-rings and fuel lines. Isnt that the main problem with running E85 in a regular vehicle?

 

With 10% ethanol, I think they had to do something anyway.

Remember way back when Gasahol was such a big thing, with "it'll kill your hoses, it'll eat your tank"? That was E10 - which is what I'm running full time now in NY.

 

I read an article a few weeks ago that said any gas vehilce built since like 1987 has hoses and a fuel tank that can handle ethanol. In fact, this article states the probllem was not the ethanol itself, but the high water content that caused the tank to rust (they were made of cast iron then) - not that water was put in the ethanol, but ethanol attracts water. Gas is just as 'corrosive' as ethanol and newer refining processes had greatly reduced the water content.

 

Here in the NW I've never even seen E85 gas.

Hey everyone, do the V10s have e85 available. I would love to get this going on my 04.
