I'm going to search our records here to see If I can come up with something on E85. I vaguely remember doing something with it when it first came out.

Thanks for the positive update on your new stove. I'm getting great reviews on it. Just got word from a new user that E85 works in the alcohol version but says he doesn't like the smell of burning E85 as a fuel.....let's consider it an emergency only fuel![]()
Not me, I don't mix, I use it straight out of the can, E85 is a gas/alcohol mix and recently Mangold on WB said it worked in the regular Super Stove.

Some people have been known to add water to their alcohol to slow down the rate of burn...think "simmer"Mr. Heater wrote: I didn't try separating the gas with the minimum amount of water. I could try in small increments until I get about 15% gas on top. Why do you ask ?The ethyl alcohol would still have a lot of water in it.
Low pressure stoves are finicky for sure. They need priming time which means an added primer tray or wrapping with fiberglass string/wick.Mr. Heater wrote:I tried burning straight E85 in an Enders military pressurized stove today. It did not burn well. The flame alternated from blue to yellow with a pulsation from low flame (blue) to high flame (yellow). It appeared that the gasoline and alcohol in the mixture were burning alternately in the burner.![]()
From what I have seen, E85 cannot be used as a Coleman fuel substitute in pressurized stoves either.![]()
Sorry, didn't have the camera, so no pictures today.
