Question 55 gallon drum for e85?

Does anyone know if the food grade or water liquid grade 55 gallon drums are ok to store e85 in?

i was thinking about doing this a long time ago when e85 was much harder to find... IIRC any fuel grade 55gal drum will hold but the only prob is how long will it be stored for? e85 tends to absord water easily thus rendering it useless over time... not to mention the dangers involved in storing 55 gallons of fuel haha

Of course the danger is always there. Im looking at a couple places because i want to store 110 or possibly 165 gallons. It would be stored for maybe 2 to 3 months at a time depends if anyone i know purchases any
