Default Ethanol content analyzer

Has anyone tried the Zeitronicx ethanol content analyzer? Because of the different content of ethanol in E85 every season, I was thinking this analyzer would be really helpful for anyone running this fuel. just need some feedback before i order this product. Thanks!

I have one, works great. Display is mounted in the cup holder area. I got it because I switch to 93 pump gas in the cold months. It's pretty crazy how far off your perception of the mix you think you've got in the tank vs what's actually there when swapping fuels. Even when you think you got every last drop. I saw 19% when swapping to 93 this winter, it was quite a few fill ups before it settled at 8% ish.

so this seems to read pretty accurate. So what else do i need besides the ECA to install this? I heard there are two different kind of sensors. Which one will i be needing?

Interesting, I may have to look into this since I will be switching between 93 and E85.

Definitely accurate, it dials in pretty much the moment the fuel pump primes. As for which sensor I'm not sure, I'd have to dig out my invoice and see if it's on there. Didn't do the install myself.

Here's the fit in the cup holder shows how spot on it is

High and low boost switch for the kpro. I thought it was a good idea at the time but I've never run it in low boost.

I see, I bought a switch also that looks like that for the same thing, high and low boost, but didn't think to put it in that spot...hmmm I don't know if I wanna lose the cup holder on that but thats not a bad idea.

So you need the Gauge/kit and the Flex fuel sensor. I see the gauge/kit goes for 590. How much was the flex fuel sensor?

I am running the zeitronix compensation gauge as well with the Haltech flex fuel sensor. I haven't had the chance to set it up so that I can switch over from 93 to E85 yet as I have been having some other problems with the car. I picked up the compensation gauge on ebay and the haltech sensor was around $200. It is worth it in my opinion if you daily drive the car.
