Ethanol content gauges/kits

Finished the install on mine last night. Just need to clean up the wires behind the cubby a bit. Didn't realize I had purchased a low profile mini add a circuit so I had to run and grab a regular mini non low profile. Reading correct after a full tank fill up this afternoon.

Excellent. Any way you could pull the cubby out a little and show where exactly you made the hole for the harness?

is that pump e30? Or did you mix?

Mix, 3.6gal e80 (what the e85 tested at) and 6.6gal 93. Running stratified E30 tune.

Forgot to try and grab one last night but the X in this pic is right about where I drilled the hole. Started drilling right in the middle of that honeycomb. No pinching there. The first one I drilled was right above where it clips into the dash in the bottom side which obviously didn't work out.

If you pull the side piece off the left of the dash, you can see in to make sure you're up high enough before drilling. Then I just used a little bit of Velcro stuck onto the gauge first then got the other side to stick to the cubby.

Thanks!

Yeah, taking off the side trim panel was how I figured out drilling straight through the back would not work.

Might be another dumb question, but why are you disassembling the gauge? Are you removing the internals from the pod and leaving the pod out to reduce the overall size so it will fit in the cubby? Can't tell by the photos since they are straight on....

I was going to install longer screws before I realized screw wouldn't work at all. I ended up removing them completely.

Anyone know of a gauge other than the P3 that is both Boost and Ethanol that works for these setups?

Aeroforce and you can view multiple parameters at once.

I'm piecing together parts for a sensor to use with my P3 gauge. I don't want to cut the OEM fuel line, is there anything I should look out for in a replacement line? I know it needs to be 5/16". Will something like this be ok?

Make sure the fuel line supports higher pressures like 100psi.

gotcha, thanks, that explains why the first one I found was so cheap.

I think I'll get 2 of these and put the sensor in the middle.

This is the one I got at O'Reilly after the regular fuel line I bought before (comes in a roll at the back of the store, they cut it up for you) cracked and came off the HPFP.

Anyone have this sensor not mounted in the cubby... pics? mines on the way. I think i'll do cubby but looking for alternative locations

This is the only section I swapped out.

Definitely a stupid question - how does that let you return to stock easily? I would think cutting the hose would be a problem, and it looks like you did that, unless I'm missing something. To go back to stock, if you removed the sensor, isn't there just a gap in the fuel line?
