Cut enough wood today to use up said bottle and the saw ran really nicely, and it wasn't nearly as hot as with gasoline. That's the main attraction of E85 to me, despite having to be careful with not leaving it in the saw for too long, once it's time to hang up the saw for the season, run it empty and fill with alkylate gasoline. Then run a little of that through the motor to displace any E85 from the carb. That fuel has no problems sitting all winter long. I want to use it in my brush cutter but it has run regular gasoline for so long it needs to be stripped down and cleaned. The ethanol in E85 will make old deposits loosen and they might catch between piston and cylinder, damaging it. My chainsaw was completely disassembled and rebuilt so I know it has no deposits. Another thing with E85 is you won't get any deposits either, it burns cleaner than pure gasoline.
I bought a cheap hammer and dolly set, I wasn't impressed with the finish of the hammer faces or dollies. So I started grinding and polishing, will have to see how it holds up under use... Untouched dolly for comparison. I've done them all now, time to start bumping sheet metal, got some dents in my car in need of fixing.
Here's a good book on the subject:
