Noel,
That would be the remaining 15% - identified as gasoline (or 90% in the case
of 10% ethanol blends).
Dont even thing of drinking E85.
All of the ethanol blends intended for motor fuel leaving a corn gas plant are
unfit for human consumption - this is a regulatory requirement (AFT).
Interesting enough, among the 15 or so corn gas plants we have, one also makes
Vodka, intended for human consumption - goes without saying that the
production equipment is separate. Anyone who wants to Google Earth it -
located about a mile northwest of Benson MN - right adjacent to the local
airport (site of my first solo in a C-120 1967 - although the corn gas plant
did not exist back then, we did have a grass cross strip - so the old
neighborhood has probably gone down hill in two ways at least)

Just curious are they (the refiners or governments) putting any thing into
EA85 to make it either poisonous or un-palatable? Could make for a cheap
weekend

Drink the stuff ...no I don't think so. There is a problem with the Inuit
and Innu people of Labrador. They have rampant alcoholism. If that were
not bad enough many of their young have taken to sniffing gasoline as a
preferred method of getting high. I can't help wondering what will happen
when 85% or better eth turns up on their doorstep.
I have a question for you folks that have the E85. Years ago I noticed that
when F1 cars caught on fire the flame was invisible. Is this true of E85 if
it is can they put something into the brew to make the flame of a burning
car visible to rescuers?
