Mine didn’t show the ethanol gauge either until I had 5 star turn the ethanol pid on in my tune revision.

Oh nice, I’ll get ahold of them tomorrow. I need them to do revisions anyway. Keep us posted on its accuracy.

Hopefully that link works, the 402etha.dlx file is the one you will transfer to your sct tuner.

The % stayed where it was in that picture while parked, but varied while driving. It averaged around 11 or 12 %, with a quick spike up to 18 % one time, then settles back to 9.02% once parked again. This is after just a couple trips around the block out in the country.

I’m still waiting for my alcohol tester to compare the actual percentage.
this worked great. I had the sct x4 and picked up a n guage to read ethonal%. Tried this on my sct and working as posted!! Thank you
edit.. i transferred the file easy. But struggled for a few min trying to figure how to make it display.
its a setting you have to pick.
​​pick. You will see something like 2011 and later.. scroll down to this filee . Pick it and start logging.
alcohol % will display. I thien went back and.pick my other pods I like to watch.. rpm, iat,, timing,.knock.

This is what I have for accuracy for premium 93.



I’ll try it with a higher alcohol percentage in the near future.

The pid shows inferred ethanol content iirc. I’m surprised that it is that accurate. But hey, that’s awesome!

This is awesome just switched to oz tuning and wanted to us E85 now. This worked perfectly after I went into configure and went to the bottom and was named 402etha which aloud it to show, which showed 10.5, which I have ran nothing but 93. So IM going to fill up with E85 and see how it does, try to blend to get to E50.
