The car
1 July 2023, 00:58,
RE: The car
I quit worrying about E85 and water in the tank after letting one of my jeeps sit for 18 months with a tank of E85, then starting it up and running the tank empty.

Water in the fuel has been a perpetual problem down through the years way before E85 was a thing.

Go look at your auto supply store, check out the "gas treatment" you use to remove water from your tank. It's pure alcohol.

As soon as you add fresh gas, with the alcohol in it, the water will bond with the alcohol and evaporate out.

The greatest problem is shellacking the jets and passages in your carburetor, but what modern car has a carb? The fuel injectors work under pressure and clear themselves of most blockages. You wil have more problems with dirt than with water.
