for the siemens sensor yes. The signal is a 5v square wave with the frequency representing ethanol content (50-150hz = 0-100% ethanol) and the pulse width representing fuel temperature (1-5ms = -40 - 125C) they are both linear.

You need to build a frequency to voltage converter and run it to a spare ADC on the ECU.

More info at http://www.megamanual.com/flexfuel.htm

Also zeitronix already has a nice unit that does all this already, theres a thread on it here

Mike, are you looking to do some sort of auto-compensation with the AEM?

Yes, we have ECA units in stock, but we do not have instructions yet. It looks like we will have it all packaged just after PRI show.

Thank you for your support.
We tune and race cars. I hope it shows that we design and manufacture stuff we use ourselves.

Yes, the sensor mounts into the fuel line.

I'd love to see pictures of one installed. So the fuel line loops into it and out. That is weird, and a tad of a restriction.

It does not create restriction on a return line
