Reading Ethanol Content

Been out of the N54 game for a few years. I知 back in a FBO+ inlets 335is and will be running stage 2+ starting later today. I used to have a 335is running MHD flex fuel with the analyzer but in my time away it looks like support ended and Reflex is the new thing. However, I知 soon moving to an area with 91 octane max but ethanol is here and there so I値l be looking to run v5 e40 for a while. What痴 the best way to have a digital readout for ethanol these days? I知 aware of a few products but just want to hear some opinions. Thanks!

Why not just buy one of those cheap plastic container ethanol testers, test the ethanol coming out of the pumps you plan on using, and then mixing up the right batch.

With the E85 from my pups (70% Ethanol), it's a straight 50/50 mix of E85 and 93 gas to get an E40 mixture. I've tested what comes out of the pumps probably a dozen times, and it's always right at 70%.

From what I've been reading the MOTIV Flex fuel box still integrates and is supported by MHD.
