    I hope the flex fuel vehicle I own doesn't blow up anytime soon after the thousands of miles I have driven it on E85. I bet it has a few gallons of water in the tank because the "real man of genius" read about it on google.

    You can stop with your stupid insults.
    I've set up and tuned 7 or 8 race cars on E85 that are a lot quicker than your car. I know what I'm talking about.
    I'm making people aware of the hazards of E85, especially when it comes a high horsepower supercharged or turbocharged vehicles.
    The examples you gave with water in avgas and diesel have no bearing on this topic. Diesel and avgas are not hygroscopic fuels. Water separates form those fuels. Put a cup of water in seperate clear containers of E85, avgas and diesel. You will see the water settle to the bottom. Over a set period of time the water in the E85 container will be ABSORBED, while you will still be able to see the water in the other containers.

    All my intent in this thread is to make sure the people that are going to push the limit in their power adder cars know that their BEST OPTION is to obtain their E85 by the drum for the absolute best consistency AND safety.

    PS........ I've owned (my company) 16 flex fuel Taurus and 3 Rangers

    Bill I will keep that in mind if I decide to put a water hose in my gas tank with E85. Every pump in the area has a hygroscopic factor being E10 is used universially. I see again you feel the need to express how much you know. If it makes you feel better about yourself so be it. I would really like to know where you tune these fast E85 cars at?
