E85 question

Any reason why the flex fuel sensor would read less Ethanol content at redline (71%) than at Cruising speeds (78%)?

Where did you tap into power to feed the sensor?

Runs on its own relay.

If you have the flex fuel sensor on the return side of the fuel system it will do that because there is not a constant flow of fuel through the sensor at peak fuel demand.

Yeah, need fuel flowing through the sensor all the time or you'll get weird readings..
