[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 14439136, member: 8854"] I gave them a call. The tech said basically all E85 sensors out there are the same thing. They measure the electrical resistance of the fluid flowing through them. So they have the known electrical properties of 100% pure gasoline. As you dilute the gasoline with other liquids like ethanol or water or what ever the electrical resistance is going to change in proportion and it's going to display the change accordingly. The sensors are not actually analyzing the chemical compounds or knowing that it's ethanol or gasoline or what ever flowing through. Simply an electrical resistance change of the fluid flowing through it. As far as I can tell that will work just fine for me. It's how flex fuel vehicles from OEM manufactures work too. In fact the Zeitronix display unit comes with a standard GM flex fuel sending unit. So unless I'm pouring water in my tank or doing something else stupid this should be an OK way of adjusting my stoich on my transition tanks of fuel from E85 to pump or vice verse. [/QUOTE]
