Class 1 samples were collected in the summer of 2008. Results showed almost 90%of the samples were off-specification for ethanol content and 50%of the samples were below the minimum vapor pressure. An additional subset of samples was collected and tested in the summer of 2009. The 2009 samples were on-specification for ethanol content more often, but continued to be below the specification minimum for vapor pressure. Similar trends were observed for Class 2 and Class 3 samples. For the other properties tested, only a handful of samples were off-specification, most often for acidity than any other property. Due to the continued observations of off-specification fuel, it is recommended that an additional survey of E85 quality be conducted. / Title Note: Final rept. / Supplementary Notes: Sponsored by Coordinating Research Council, Inc., Alpharetta, GA. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
