E85 Jugs for Track use? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Kordless · 11-20-2017, 01:21 PM

Hello,

I run E85 almost exclusively now with my boosted track car.

I'm looking for feedback about which Utility Jugs you guys use for filling and transporting E85 for the track, It would only be in the jug for about a day or so, so I'm looking for short term solutions that do not leak and stuff that people have had good experiences with.

Thanks!

I'm a fan of the vp jugs as well. The Caps have rubber orings to seal.

VP jugs are great for track use. For very long term storage you are better off away from plastic jugs. I only use e85 at the track and I switch back to gas as my car spends time in the garage between events.

I wouldn't even keep fuel long term around anyways. Chances are it's going to go bad. I'd rather get fresh fuel when needed.

VP jugs. You can save some money by getting the yellow "utility" jugs. Just make sure to keep them upright.

I use Pep Boys 5 gallon water jugs. They are made out of the same poly gas jugs are made out of, just blue instead of red, and don't have the stupid safety spout. Just a straight vented spout that will stop flow from the jug when the car's tank is full. I make a juice run once a month, fold the back seat down and can carry 11 of these jugs. About 15 bucks.

If sealed, E85 can store very well. We have stored over the winter, and it still does fine.

If you are lucky enough to have one that actually seals.

We have about 15 of them, only 3 don't leak out the cap. Even from new.
