Gas Stations with E in OC

[swrdply400mrelay]

I live in Tustin area, but also travel for work to Orange, Mission Viejo, Newport Beach, Irvine, Lake Forest.

I have not seen any E in these areas, and Google search has not been helpful.

Anyone know of gas stations that stock E in these areas or anywhere between?

TIA!

Pearson Fuels is the big California supplier. I used their pumps the most when I lived in California.

There are many E85 mobile apps and also this which is basically the best one:

Thanks, very helpful!

Is there one that would like you search by E30?

That is usually a blender pump and I don't think that exists on the West Coast. Mainly a midwest thing.

Going to have to blend yourself.

That's not how it works.

The stations supply E85, you have to calculate your blend and figure out how many gallons of E85 in ratio to 91 you need to make E30. So if you needed 10 gallons, you'd need 2.67 gallons E85 to 7.33 gallons 91. There are apps you can use to do your calculations, like the Fuel It app or even JB4.

Also, 91 is already E10 (as is 87 and 89). Highly recommend the Fuel It Bluetooth Sensor, helps me stay consistent.

E85 is also inconsistent at stations at times. The ethanol content can fluctuate from station to station but it's usually within acceptable parameters. There are test kits you can buy to test the Ethanol content from a pump to help with accuracy.

Thanks for clarifying, in my google searches the blender pumped showed up so I figured it was nationally universal.

Is this what you have (1st option, Complete Kit with CANbus ECA and PnP Harness)

https://burgertuning.com/products/toyota-supra-flex-fuel-sensor


The description says PnP, however I found an install video that said for manual Supras you have to tap into DME lines. Did they come out with a PnP or did you have to tap?

Save yourself the headache and don't buy anything from Burger or Visconti.

What are you tuned on? Both MHD and BM3 offer flex fuel kits that are better.

No. Did not use CANbus as it wasn’t around when I bought mine. I just have the Bluetooth kit. No splicing or tapping just plug and play. Took me less 30 mins to install. I just use my phone for my content level.

This is just an ethanol reader, doesn’t provide tuning capabilities like a TMS flex fuel kit with Zeotronix. If you were unlocked and on MHD or something then a flex fuel kit with zeotronix is the way to go for tuning capabilities.

Damn. That would be nice here but never seen it in SoCal. We didn’t start getting e85 pumps until about 5 years ago. Back then there were a few, but now you can find them pretty easy.

I personally use the last one because it has its own mix calculator.

I’m debating JB4 vs MHD, and yes, I know how you feel about JB4 ?

I’d like to pass smog without needing to resend the DME out every time and paying, that’d be cost and time prohibitive
