E85 in Baltimore!

I think I may have just stumbled onto some corn juice in Baltimore! Royal Farm Store, corner of Boston St and Ponca St (1200 Ponca St, 21223). Haven't actually tested it yet, still working on the tune. I'm so excited! No more driving for an hour or more for fuel! I think I'll go back tomorrow and grab 5 gallons just to smell it.

And it is high ethanol content. :drool: I was expecting 70% or less....

I am going on that E85 life very soon. How can you tell if its higher ethanol content? I assume the sensors can tell us as well?

Yes, the ethanol gauge will tell you once the fuel mix reaches it. You can also do the test tube method with some fuel to be tested, distilled water and some math or just buy one of these https://www.summitracing.com/parts/qft-36-e85 and take the math out of the equation, still need fuel and distilled water.

I started last week with 1/8 tank of 93 and added 5 gallons of this ethanol and it got me to E68. Got down to a 1/4 tank of E68 and filled up with it which took me to E77. Stopped there again last night with a little over 1/2 tank of E77, filled up and it took me to E80.

Pretty sure you have a local ptuning FF kit maybe? Delicious and Moto East also make ones.

Anyone able to comment on the consistency of this station's ethanol? I'd love to run some without buying a flexfuel kit if I can.

Awesome! This place is only about 7 miles out of the way, will be nice for summer fuel :burnrubber:

Confirmed, my car is happy with this station. Don't make the mistake I did and take a left then a right out of the station to drive your 2 miles for the fuel trims to go up. Naturally they go up right as I enter the tunnel :bonk:
