Is the pump at your station labeled with the minimum ethanol content that they'll pump?

I will look for it tomorrow. I normally get E77 here lately. I just had 1/4 tank of 93 when I filled up. So E60 is what I got when it mixed.

Do they have a maximum # of gallons that you can pump? I've seen that on E85 pumps before.

77% is pretty good. The most I've seen after I've run all the 91 out of the tank is 84%. Doesn't get any better than that. I was just thinking that if you're going to be filling a couple of 55 gallon drums you might want to take an ethanol tester with you and test a sample before filling them. It would suck to get 110 gallons on e55.

The way I run through fuel my car's content gauge tells me real quick what the tanker brought.

But, you could fill up your car one day and get e77 and then go back a few days later with the 55 gallon drums and if they've restocked you could end up with a lower e content batch.

I know what you mean though. I'd fill up and when I got home my gauge would show 1 dot lower.

LOL, never happen. They run out before the tanker comes every time on que. It only get's filled when they are completely empty. Then they will bring them fuel.

Noop, no minimum amount of Ethanol content and no Max amount you can pump. It just says up too 85% Ethanol.

"Up to 85%". So it could be from 1% up to 85% lol.

No idea. Never had an issue yet. When I was completely on E85 with several tanks I have always read 77%. That has been with over 5 deliveries filling the fuel stations tanks.

Yeah, I think you found yourself a good station. Too bad they don't keep it stocked all the time.
