Hey all,
I’ve been doing a fair amount of research for my build that’s nearing completion, mostly relating to fuel. What’s going on is I have a 600 whp SR setup that’s capped at 18psi by pump gas.

I would really like to make the switch to E85 but I can’t find any stations that sell it in the Seattle area, specifically the King/Auburn area. I’ve looked online but every source has different locations listed, and when I visit each of those locations they don’t have e85.

So who has personal experience and knows for sure of gas stations that pump e85?

Pretty sure we don't have any. Everyone would know about it if we did.

I haven't made the switch yet, but my buddy takes a couple jugs to the Gateway gas and deli in Snoqualmie to fill up. That's the closest place you'll find without going north.

You might be better off getting a big drum and filling that when necessary.

Exactly what I was planning on doing if there was no other stations. My issue is that my car would be 100% e85 and getting around 10 mpg’s, a 55 gallon tank would only last me a month, so my range would be quite shit.
