E85 in the Lower Mainland
E85 is a term that refers to high-level ethanol-gasoline blends containing approximately 85% ethanol and 15% Gasoline.
We have E85 Ethanol available for purchase at our Braid Street location. We are prepared to pump directly into your vehicle or, alternatively, into jerry cans. E85 is a high performance fuel that can be used in Flexible Fuel Vehicles; you will be required to sign a waiver as it is the buyers responsibility to ensure that the fuel will be compatible with their car. While E85 can go in any flex fuel vehicle, we only recommend this product for high performance vehicles, you will not save any money by putting this fuel in your standard flex fuel vehicle, if you are looking to save money by switching to flex fuel, this is not the product for you. You will, however, receive a performance boost from the high ethanol content. We can hear the difference of power in a car when it arrives versus when it has filled up. This is a premium product that is blended as 85% ethanol to 15% regular fuel. We test and blend every batch to ensure that there is no more than a 3% difference(82%-88% ethanol). If you love to drive and are looking for that extra kick of horsepower, we recommend this product for you. At the bottom of the page, you will find auto body shops that we know tune for E85.

Our DEF Pump is currently out of order!
We will be closed on Monday October 14th, 2024.
In order to sign the waiver and purchase fuel, the following requirements must be met:
- drivers license(which will be photocopied and kept on file)
- make and model of the car
Please ensure that you have all of the required information with you at the time of purchase or we cannot provide you with the fuel.
While it is true that we will gladly fill up your jerry cans with this high performance fuel, we would love it if you brought your vehicle by the station so that we may see it in person because it’s not often that our people get the chance to see a super car.
Want something a little stronger? We sell E99 by the Drum but please note, we need advance notice if you would like a drum of E85 or E99. Additionally, you need to be certified to transport dangerous goods if you are picking up a drum yourself. The certification process is relatively easy, costs about $25.00 and it lasts 3 years. It may seem inconvenient but in the long run, it is much cheaper and easier than being caught without it.

Looking to Purchase a Drum of E85?
We sell drums of E85 and Ethanol but there are some things that you need to consider before coming to pick a drum up
- Ethanol is highly flammable and classified as a dangerous good, you MUST have your transportation of dangerous goods certificate to pick up anymore than 40 Liters(aside from what is put in your gas tank) E85 or Ethanol. There are no exceptions, even if the product is for personal use, we will not load a drum/allow you to fill a drum if you cannot present a certificate. The certificate is relatively easy to get(we have had some customers get their certificate while the drum fills), it costs about 35.00 and lasts 3 years.
- You cannot load a drum into anything smaller than a pick up truck and you must bring straps that will secure your drum
- You will need a way to get the drum out of your vehicle once it is at the destination.
Plan on Filling Jerry Cans?
Ethanol is a dangerous good and an amount greater than two jerry cans of e85 will require your Transportation of Dangerous Goods certificate. This does not include what you put inside your vehicle, a customer can fill their car and two jerry cans before our staff will question whether or not you have your transportation of dangerous goods certificate.
