E85 is a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% petroleum and can be used in flexible-fuel vehicles (FFVs).
Mr. Pete's used Protec Fuel's turnkey program, which included designing and managing the equipment conversion and fuel supply.
"We are pleased to be assisting this station with their E85 infrastructure and supply of fuel," said Todd Garner, CEO of Protec Fuel. "Mr. Pete's is a prime location for [image-nocss] Protec's rollout of new E85 dispenser imaging, and we look forward to seeing additional sites with our specialized branding."
The E85 site is also the first of its kind in the area, located just north of Jacksonville and south of Savannah.
"I'm looking forward to see how many green vehicles will use our new fuel," said Al Coty, owner of Mr. Pete's. "I'm proud to carry the fuel--it's keeping the money in this country and helping our economy."
Mr. Pete's and Protec Fuel have teamed up with the Clean Fuels Foundation through their National Flex-Fuel Vehicle Awareness Campaign to help market the station and gain additional exposure. "Support from the state government, a strong Clean Cities program, in-state first- and second-generation ethanol production, and a strong existing refueling infrastructure placed Georgia on our key market list in this partnership," said Burl Haigwood of the Clean Fuels Foundation and project manager for the National FFV Awareness Campaign.
Mr. Pete's is open seven days a week. The site offers a convenience store and pay at the pump option.
