Which I completely understand, wih 600GPM any spill is going to be a big one and EPA fines would probably result. The guy in the office said Sheetz in Wytheville is the closest place and they advertise e85 but it is actually e70. He said Webb oil and Foster Fuels are customers of them and they may able to sell in "small" amounts. I haven't tried getting in touch with them yet, though so I can't say how that will turn out.
I've heard that Wytheville is also e70 but it could be due to the temperatures dropping they mix more gasoline into it. There's got to be someone local that has an easy way to get ethanol for a 55gal drum. Let me know if you find anything else on Webbs Oil and Foster Fuels as I'm looking for a more feasible solution than traveling 3 hours both ways to pump 55 gallons of e70.
Just called Webbs and they carry only E10 which is what most local places offer now. They said that no one in the roanoke valley supplies e85 :-(
