Wire an analog out from the gauge into the ECU, and then I can write a patch that will interpolate between a pump gas tune and an E85 tune based on ethanol content. I've been meaning to write this patch for the last six months, but haven't gotten around to it.

I'd give some financial incentive for something like this for sure.

Yeah, I guess its time. I'm going to put in a few late nights in the garage getting my ethanol content sensor and gauge wired up. Then I'll begin on the patch.

So it sounds like this zeitronix is just the actual gauge and not the actual sensor as well? Or is it both.

It's called "Ethanol Content Analyzer" so it sounds like it is the gauge *and* the sensor but I'm not 100% on that.

skiracer you know?

My understanding its the gauge only for now. I'm not sure if Zeitronix plans on selling the flex fuel sensor or not.
