Non-Pump E85+ Brands, Octane Levels, Shipping Etc

Figured i would start a post in regards to finding locations and companys who ship E85 or Race E85+ fuel, for us who want to run a higher Octane E85+ at the track. So far is see both VP, and Sunoco, Rocket brand, have E85 listed on their sites. I wonder what they rate Normal E85 at? I see they are rating their race 85 at 99 and 98 octane and 112. So far rocket brand is looking good.

SUNOCO E85R RACING GASOLINE
Sunoco E85-R is an unleaded racing fuel containing 85 volume % ethanol. It can only be used in fuel systems designed specifically for E85 blends. Because it is highly oxygenated and requires increased fuel flow compared to conventional non-oxygenated fuels, consult with your fuel injection system or carburetor supplier for correct air/fuel ratio calibrations.
The composition of conventional E85 blends can vary. Sunoco E85-R is blended to consistently contain 85% ethanol. The non-ethanol portion of Sunoco E85-R is comprised of highly-refined race fuel hydrocarbons for superior stability and consistency. Sunoco E85-R is the racer’s fuel of choice where E85 blends are allowed.
Sunoco E85-R should be stored in dark, tightly sealed containers where the temperature is stable. Handled under such conditions, shelf life is in excess of 1 year. Check with your fuel system and fuel container manufacturers for compatibility with ethanol blends.

NEW! C85™If you’re committed to using E85 type fuels, C85 is by far your best choice. Conventional E85 fuels are notoriously inconsistent, requiring up to a two-jet swing in tuning from one batch of E85 to the next. By contrast, C85 is blended with a consistent proportion of ethanol and every other component in every drum. In addition to taking all the guesswork out of tuning, C85 makes up to 4% more power and torque than conventional E85. With higher quality pure components, C85 is superior to E85 in terms of cooling effect, resistance to detonation and even includes corrosion inhibitors to fight the issues presented by ethanol. C85 works well in drag racing, oval track, off road and virtually any other automotive application, in particular forced induction applications due to its lower vapor pressure. Tests of C85 indicate most applications will require richening up by 1 jet size, or 2-3% over current jetting. Note that for racers unwilling to invest in the new carb and expensive fuel system upgrade required for E85, VP’s MS109, VP113 and Q16 continue to be the best race

Not to worried about E85 dying out. I have access to E85 but i like to have the higher octane or better fuel to run while at the track and pushing the car. Rocket brand has no suppliers out in cally or AZ. will be contacting VP and Sunoco reps but i don't like the said octane rating. I know their are plants that can make sepecial blends thats why i made this thread. would really like to get some E85+ (e85-E98) at as high of a ocatane as possible

thanks for the info, not sure i would want fuel out of a station that sells Race e85 with no a high demand. fuel will be sitting static for awhile. i would like to test it and see what the E85 rating is but octane rating will be un-know and who knows if its any different then the standard e85. Drums would be nice that way you know its fresh and true e85 race

Tucson and SoCal

Whats C85?

Also how did you get this list? Went to their sites and some don't even list the fuels, they're just race tracks. Also some have all their fuels listed but no E85R. I will call SIR and see if they carry it but im almost 100% sure they don't. They just sell race gas. I might have to call all the sunoco in between cally and Tucson and see who has it. It listes Auto Club Speedway, I run a track event out of ACS and they have sunoco fuel but not E85R.

Every month or so.
