You can run the analog signal to your ECU, so it can make decisions based on ethanol content.

We are working with GM to get FF sensors in bulk and pass savings to you.
Also, junk yard sensors seams to be working just fine.

I ran into. a situation where this guage would have been very usefull. In SD there's only two station that carry E85, with sticker on them that say Min. 85% Ethanol. I took a road trip up to Santa Barbara this past weekend, and the only station on the way, is in Santa Monica (Conserv Fuel). Now there pump sticker says Min. 70% Ethanol. Call the main office and was told, you can only buy 85% Ethanol in the State of California. It's nice to here that, but I would have felt better if I looked at my guage to see the truth.
Looking forward to a resonable priced package, you can plug and play.

That could explain the Cold Start symtoms I was having, after starting it the next morning. As long as they don't sell anything less then 85% Ethanol. This is were this guage will shine.

Simon, I don't understand the readout. It appears to be saying "E5E". It looks great; I simply don't comprehend it.

evodood, bingo!
When the sensor is not connected the gauge displays ESEn, and in fuel temperature mode SEnF or SEnC depends on units selected.
