It's not a waste of time unless you have true flex fuel vehicle....I tested at a pump in League City and it came out E45. I alerted the manager and they shut the E85 pumps down and bagged them.
Trust me, I was shocked! Only thing I could think of was the delivery truck somehow pumped e10 gasoline into a partially filled e85 tank below.... :nonono:
Thanks John. You know how ghetto and rigged my cars are. ;-)
The sensor is -8 and it's in the return line. No leaks, no issues and the setup has been driven in all kinds of conditions from drag racing to road course to a 4000 mile trip from TX to Ohio and back.
It also has a fuel temp sensor on it with a switch inside the car so I can keep an eye on what's going on with 3 big pumps working in the tank.
Racerat,
Do you have a link to the -8 AN sensor you're using? The only ones I see on the page have nippled ends to slip hose over. Are you using some sort of fitting on each end of their sensor to convert to -8 AN etc? Info. please, I'd love to go this route as well. Thanks!
Racerat,
Do you have a link to the -8 AN sensor you're using? The only ones I see on the page have EFI push lock ends. Are you using some sort of fitting on each end of their sensor ends to convert to -8 AN etc? Info. please, I'd love to go this route as well with my 6 AN return line. Thanks!
Will these work? If so what size EFI end do I get 3/8" or 5/26"?

Every single tank. Takes 2 minutes. I have way too much invested in my car to be that lazy.
Went this direction due to the first option vendor being A'holes and no tech help here.
New E85 Flex Fuel Content Gauge from Dynosty! – Dynosty
Have you got this yet? How did you hook it up? Could you show a write up on how you made this work, looks like a sweet option.
Mine, installed over the past week with the E85 return system. Will be firing up in the next couple of days. New E85 Flex Fuel Content Gauge from Dynosty! – Dynosty
I like those, added to the "to get list". When you're running pump gas does it show the approximately 10% ethanol content in there? or does it only pick up readings closer to 85% ethanol?

Ditto.
Reads from 0-100 scale, so sure it reads E10 etc. It also has output wires to hook to standalone ECU's to adjust for E% in the tune just like current production vehicles. I won't be using said feature.
All hooked up but kept blowing the add a circuit fuse for the sensor upon driving, not at startup. First 5a then 10a that I added to the IC circuit in the under hood fuse box. I've since switched to the fuel pump fuse since it's no longer in use to power my pumps (LP Return). I'll be testing again soon. So far it's reading E70 so I'm going to test the fuel in my tank over the weekend manually to check accuracy.
The hookup is very easy. Switched power to gauge, ground to gauge, and 1 wire goes to the sensor. The sensor is self tapping screwed to the bottom of the floorboard in the driveshaft tunnel and the -6 AN return line runs through it. One wire to switched power, 1 wire to ground, and 1 wire to the gauge. Cake!
