Yes, that is how it is intended to be used.
I do think the sensor install could use a little more guidance. I ended up removing it and tightening all the connections and reinstalling it.
I put a slit in the rubber grommet and pushed the wire in, before sealing the lid.
Hi @jyamona, I've installed my Flex fuel but the ethanol content is registering 0% with what should be E30 at a minimum and likely closer to E50.
The ECA voltage is reporting 1.36V. One thing I noticed is once I turn the ignition off, if I am still logging, the ECA voltage goes to 4.45V.
Is there anything I can do to diagnose the issue? I have a flexfuel "tweaked" tune, the flex fuel option in MHD, the sensor installed and connected, etc.

Hi, who did your tune? Sounds like it was not setup correctly and the FlexFuel logic was not added.
Seems to me the "tweaked" tune you have has not followed the proper flex fuel tune conversion process completely.
Who are they? I would like to talk to them to make sure they are doing it correctly going forward.
Do you have your "stock" bin? If so just drag and drop that on the FF tool exe and flash the bin that it spits out.
I experienced a crunching sound while installing the short Motiv Flex Fuel line. I’ve never used these kind of connectors before. I grabbed the male collar with thin vice grips and a wrench on the female side to tighten it and heard a crunching sound while tightening. Did I f something up?
Knowing this thread existed would have been helpful
They're aluminum fittings, Id guess it was some give with the vice grip and/or wrench since not using AN wrench. The best way to check is to connect battery, check for leaks, hit unlock on fob, check for leaks, flip start button on / off a couple of times (keep engine off), check for leaks. Once you're confident all misc. things are connected, fire it up and check for leaks. If all dry, then nothing I'd be concerned with
