Talk to Race Engineering. I think they might be able to get it by the drum, not sure though.

Be careful E85 likes to take on moisture, and octane lowers with age even in sealed drum faster than pure race gas. My buddy works at gas city corperate and said he could get it for me by the barrel but then gave me the same warning I just pased on.

best thing you can do is to buy the tools and learn how to test your fuel, some e85 pumps dont get much traffic so they are more prone to contamination, I dont use the closest pump because it isn't used much so the same fuel sits in the tank for a while. ill drive 10 mi further because the fuel is more consistant.
