"fuelish" or not / got "Butanol" ?
I believe, some of our clan, are "users" of E85 ? How bout "Butanol" ? I'm seriously considering as alternative to E85, for race use. You can't buy E85 in "Gustappo Land"-CA., unless you have your "stickered" Flex-Fuel vehicle right there! Reportedly, butanol is the highest refinement of the "ol's", is low corrosive, is approx. 11/1+ stoich and "maybe" I can buy it ? Anybody? Thanks, roverman.

Re: "fuelish" or not / got "propanol" ?
Thanks Jim. Reportedly "BP" and Standard Oil, have invested heavy in this technology.Being non corrosive and very close to gas in BTU's, they can use their existing distribution lines. I just need a "little" ? roverman-not an "alky"-yet.

Ok, Would you believe...butanol ? Closest to gas in btu's and much less corrosive than "other" nol's. roverman.

Jim, Indeed ? Post was a question.You see, I'm not buying a flex fuel car, just so I can buy E85. I suppose a chemical supply/refinery? roverman.
