Gas can recommendation to take some E85 to the track?
I am planning to run approx. 30 % Ethanol the next track day making use of that flex fuel mapping. Unfortunately, there is no E85 gas station nearby and I have to bring some in my car. Does anyone have agood reconmendation for a nice gas can? Preferably around 5 gallons and should fit the boot of the ZL1. cheers cirpower

I've had good luck with these, they sit pretty sturdy/solid.
https://vpracingfuels.com/product/vp-surecan/?c=237 https://www.surecanusa.com/gascan I also use either the smaller blue or larger grey FloTool Multi-Purpose Funnel, which helps too... https://www.google.com/search?client...UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

+1 for the VP cans. Really just make sure it's something without one of those things you have to hold to pour it out. I made that mistake of just getting one from Home Depot, and got annoyed with it and never used it.

Thanks for the answers! Really appreciate it.
Do the VP cans fit in the trunk though? They do look pretty tall? |

These cans fit perfectly 3 side by side at the very back of an SS 1le trunk with zero wiggle room. They are 5.3 gallon cans. If i need to bring only one i place a full one in the middle and 2 empty ones on each side to lock it in.
Anyway, it has worked for me for 3 yrs. Cheers! |

Thanks for all the feedback. I did go with 13 dollar cans eventually, as I decided to trailer my car to the track and am not that worried about the back of my truck.
