[NYTSKY]

Seems like the United at rozelle is still selling it.

I called the servo and from what i could understand (literally) from the attendant,its still available.

Looks like im up for a bit of a drive today lol

[jus26y]

bought e85 from united roselle the other day.

road tuned it for epa today and passed.

comparing my results from last epa test on bp 98, e85 kills it

thc went from 1.65 to 0.05

nox went form 3.84 to 1.63

So whats the go with this guys is E85 still available at the pump?

im on the verge of getting my car tuned but i just need to know for sure

PLEASE TELL ME ITS STILL BEING SOLLLDD !!

[Guilt-Toy]

i could be wrong, but I do know that it cost Rozelle 40,000$ to setup their servo for E85. They got the contract with CSR in the city to supply fuel for their company flex cars.

Those other dodgy servo's may have not done this preperation like the United servo's do ? United also uses CSR sugar caine to make the ethanol which has been proven to be better then the other stuff available, not sure if its higher octane or not but I know the CSR stuff is the best stuff.

So yeah if united Rozelle are still selling then that would probly be why???

I should just go over there after work today and check this all out, once i downsize my turbo i will be going back to e85.

[Guilt-Toy]

i am not spending anymore money on this car

[TiTAN]

trading the 3582 for something smaller?

One of our time attack sponsors is a fuel distributor up here GT, They are looking in to it atm but if they dont come through I will look at ideas from there. I have been interested in this stuff for a couple of years and it pisses me that they grow it up here and ship it past us to you guys down south.

wait on the highway, flag down truck, pull pistol/shotgun/left hook, drive truck home. instant 10,000 litre stash. just like ye olde stage coach robberies.

Yer you never stop until you sell it.

There is always something to be done on it.

I have been flat-out at work all week, so this is my first chance to post.

Now, my news might not trouble anyone outside of SA, but as of last Friday the Malaysian company Carotino, that owns Environmentally Friendly Fuels (ENFFUE) and the old South Australian Farmers Fuels (SAFF), has pulled the pin on the entire operation. This means that they (ENFFUE) are now in receivership. I have yet to find any news media detailing the situation, but having rang ENFFUE Australia head office it doesn't look good. Their office manager told me over the phone that 'we have just been placed into receivership and if you want to know about getting access to E85 in the future you will have to liaise directly with the service station owners' - understandably, she didn't sound very happy

There are currently only two service stations in SA that sell E85 and both are ENFFUE outlets. The manager at the main station said he has no idea about the future of E85 at their servo’, or any of servo’ in SA for that matter. His words were “I have 400L left and after that, who knows. If you want some you’d better get down here quick.”

However, on the flipside, it turns out a local race fuel/oil distributor that I have had dealings with over the years has recently set themselves up to sell a high-performance E85 brew (E85/98). They are charging $1.70L and are ‘hoping’ they can maintain a regular supply. Why hoping? Because they were sourcing their E85 through the same supply chain as ENFFUE. I have stocked up on this brew (have ~$170L) and am hoping this will last me until a regular supply has been re-established. Failing that it looks like I’ll be paying a shitload for 200L drums - as required. It will be interesting to see if my current tune will require any tweaking to suit the E85/98 brew vs. the old E85/91 brew.

Oh, and I entered in a 40 car field dyno day last weekend. Lee (RB25DETS2) encouraged me to enter, lent me his rear wheels and tyres (had MT ET Radials fitted and they don’t like dyno rollers), and provided his tools and assistance to swap rears. It came as a huge surprise when I ended up winning the event outright with 366rwkw on 22.5psi. Lee’s ’33 came a strong second with 356rwkw on 23psi. One or two big hitters didn’t make it on the day and one or two had issues, so I kind of fell over the line more than anything else.
