Anyone Use E85 inline fuel Analyser with Gauge?

[DougS550]

Just wondering. When I switch to E85 I don't want to do a field test. I want to install a inline fuel analyzer but would like to have a gauge inside on dash to immediately verify E85 level appreciate your help

Yes I have that set-up. Bought a stock fuel line for $50 and spliced into it to install a Zeitronix ECA-2. I have the user-flex tune from Lund. My car is N/A. If you want to do this with boost you will need a bypass for the sensor to prevent it from creating a bottleneck in your fuel lines.

Here are some pics of me installing it. No pics of inside the car cause I just haven’t gotten around to taking any:

I use this one from innovate Motorsports

Thank you all for the info. I will look into these

Im just going to do the Fuel It kit and that displays to my phone.

How do you like that Lund tune?[/QUOTE]

I am setting this up right now with the zeitronix kit and a bypass. Total is about $600 for the parts and the zeitronix kit.

Do you recall was the ID of the factory fuel line is in that section? I have heard 3/8 but I popped mine off and it looks more like 5/16

I seen that setup. Which one did you go with?

I’m running the Zeitronix ECA-2 wired into the CAN bus and using the PCMTEC CAN bus flex fuel logic. I have the sensor in a Radium bypass mounted with a bracket I designed and had made. I’m not the biggest fan of the outlet line, but the engine moves under acceleration so I didn’t want to risk damaging that line. I also realize I have two different looking lines on the inlet and outlet. When I was putting his all together I ordered a few pre-made lines from a couple different manufacturers to find what I liked and what fit. This is how it ended up for now.

I currently have the gauge just sitting in my glove box, but I intend to design and 3D print a mount so I can just open it up quick to see the ethanol content.

Good looking setup. I ordered the same bypass to do the same thing. Do you have the part numbers for the hoses and adapters you used to connect to the factory fuel system?

Im just gonna get the pre fabbed 2018+ kit with billet fittings. I dont see a need for a gauge. The E% should be fairly consistent over the course of a tank. If you have 3 gallons of E72 in there and go fill up and 15 miles later you're reading E74 thats pretty well what its gonna be for the tank.

Nice. If I go the gauge route, I will mount in the Center Console for a quick check

Here is my gauge, $12.95 from Amazon. It sucks to do science when getting fuel but the car is not a daily. Only 6600 miles in 4 years.

Looks like winter blend.

I don't think ive ever tested E that low where I fuel up.
