Ethanol Analyzer Options

Does the F30 really need upgraded fuel lines from the tank to run full e85?

I have EOS PI which has the tee line fitted to the stock system. Can't I just install the ethanol analyzer inline and connect the Bluetooth for phone and 0-5v to AIC-2V?

Looking at the Fuel It kit, and it seems overkill no?

I don't know anything about the ethanol kit but I do know you don't need upgraded lines for full e85.

So i don't need the fuel lines, I can just buy the analyzer ala carte and plug it inline?

I'll need a small 1-2" patch line to do so though... How do I make that?

What you need depends on what you're looking to do. The basic setup would be our analyzer and blue tooth app so you can monitor E85 mixtures on your phone. And it goes up from there!

So I need help selecting the correct kit, I would like to retain the current setup I have and keep costs as low as possible.

My goals are to install an analyzer with Bluetooth connection to my phone, and 0-5v output that can be connected to my AIC2-V.

Do I need to upgrade the fuel line from the LPFP to the HPFP to run straight E85? Do you sell a analyzer kit with the sensor, analyzer with just a short "patch" cable. That way I can just keep the setup I have and throw the sensor/analyzer inline?

The spool kit looks really nice, the braided lines etc. I would pick it up right now if the app wasn't blocking Australian downloads.

It's cheaper then the fuel-it kit too. If spool can't work out the region lock then I'll go the fuel-it kit.

I don't believe you need to upgrade the lines and can just use the sensor, but if you want to do it all properly why not splash a little more cash and get the lines upgraded.
