Personally, I tend to buy my E85 in winter, in the middle of winter.

because at that moment, it contains up to 40% gasoline, it makes starting easier and there is more energy per liter.

Curiously, the price of E85 is not indexed to its gasoline content. : roll:

In the middle of summer, there is normally a period when we are at 15% gasoline at the pump.

I was mainly thinking about cleaning the system, a bit like when I removed the GO pipes to put them in a 5L can of oil from the stoves of the same name, in order to clean the injection of the old diesel...

I haven't had a fuel boiler for a long time, it was an idea like that....

That's to say? Do you store it in a container at home for the summer?

absolutely. You need full cans, tightly closed and opaque.
