Would this be said place, if so I'll be heading there tonight or tomorrow
1221 N ROHLWING RD - Shell
1221 N ROHLWING RD is a service station located in ITASCA area. This station includes a Shop.
Stopped at the new Shell in Itasca. Since the tune was done on 93, I’ve filled up 3 times with E85 prior to tonight. So it’s safe to say there shouldn’t really be much if any 93 still in the car. I was at 67% prior to filling up at Shell. I put almost 14 gallons and I have a 20 gallon tank. She was bouncing between 70-71 after about a 10 mile drive. Definitely higher than Thortons in Streamwood.
Also
Mook the limit is 51%, there was a sign on the pump

Basically you just want to find a station with a high turnover rate for E, the more they sell the fresher it will be with less chance of water and shit.

Hmmm... I used a brand new tester, the rev-x oil.com one that everybody buys on Amazon. It showed E90?
Now you got me confused on what to use to test ethanol????
I use the a Rev X tester last summer at multiple thorntons and the best I ever seen was e75
Anybody have any recommendations on an ethanol tester? I have the Rev X super tester one off Amazon.
Most of the testers are literally just plastic or glass with a sticker on them so it's not like there's anything that can go bad.I mean test tube is fine but as most will tell you, it's not the most accurate.
Where isPressure Ratio or like
1quick. Someone with more brains than me.
For the water I use bottled water.
My past to fill ups I was hitting e85 with the tester and then yesterday it read E90.
I looked at fuel it before, but they don't have one for my car. I may look into a universal one.
Yeah this is all new to me. I could see testers being off a little bit, but mine read E90. And unless there's something up with the bottled water, I can't figure out why I could be that far off.I mean test tube is fine but as most will tell you, it's not the most accurate.
Where is
If the e85 has water contamination witch is common at gas stations that don’t turn over the tanks frequently it reads higher than it should on the test tube method
