Running e85??? Get in here please guys

If you are running e85 i simply am wondering if you are getting it out of the pump or ordering it. I have a sheets store 2 miles away with it and am thinking about using it but i dont want to take a risk at 1000+ rwhp

So if i cant use it from the pump i will use 93 octane

Pump e85 okay for a serious build or not?

I'm just getting it from local stations. The only thing you need to be aware of is that the concentration of ethanl changes with the seasons. During the summer it's E85 at 105 oct (R+M/2), winter it's E70 at 100 oct.

Well ive got my fuel pumps just need to know what lines i need to run. Ive got a walbro 255 intank and a bosch 044 inline. Im thinking i need to run a -10 with a -8 return but that may be over kill.
