My Concerns With Ethanol Fuel, Should I Be?

[Touge Kyousou]

I had e-flex sit in the car for 13months... started and drove haha.

I haven't had any problems with it either, and have been running it for awhile now.

How do people store there ethanol? My nearest servo is 50k's from home so I was thinking of buying some sort of drum (possibly 44gal) and storing it in that.

I have heard you have to store it off the ground to keep moisture out. I was just planning on sitting it on some wood or bricks and then just wrapping a thick blanket around it for some peace of mind (not sure if this will even do anything to be honest haha) hopefully it should last me 2-3 months just sitting there as it won't be a daily driver.

Anybody got any other tips/tricks?

Sealed container, off the ground. I'll be fine. Not sure about the wooly cardigan will do much.

Sweet. It's just gets very cold overnight and there is always condensation where I live so I thought I'd give myself the best chance I could.

Question: How the f**k does water get into a sealed drum?

Answer: It doesn't. That's the f**king definition of sealed fercrissake.

Cmon.

Ethanol uses its mysterious powers to do unimaginable stuff.

One is make power.

The other is suck water into it.

Its only a problem for R33 owners on ethanol apparently.

Boat owners find ethanol-gasoline fuel mix can be costly cocktail/
