I'm sure they do. I use a ScanTool OBDLink MX w/the EngineLink app to monitor mine.

Thanks, that looks pretty awesome. I just might have to buy this. Has it worked well for you? No issues with it? Phone app work well?

No problems although somethimes it fights with my home WiFi until I get out of range. It took me several phone apps to find one I liked. The scantool comes with it's own app, too.

 

The best one out there unfortunately isn't available on iPhone, only Android.

So have you gotten numbers from these running E85? What kind of HP and torque numbers you seeing? Can you tell the percentage of ethanol in the fuel?

Question for you regarding the app you are using with your scantool. To read ethanol content did you have to add this feature with some PID programming or did it basically just show up? I have the Torque app on my Android phone and can't seem to find any ethanol gauges. I've read about adding features using some sort of PID information but don't know how to do this yet.

 

Thanks!

For EngineLink, there's a screen where you can add your own gauges. When you do that, there's a list of selectable PIDs and Alcohol Content was one of them.

 

Not all of the other apps I tried had that ability, but most you can configure your own PIDs, I just could never figure out how to do it.

Thanks for the info. It looks like that EngineLInk app is for Apple only. I'll have to do some more investigating in getting the Torque app to read ethanol content.

Yes, thanks for the info you two. I have a Diablo InTune so I did some logging this morning and installed their DataViewer for Windows program. Looks like it grabs the Alcohol Fuel Percentage during logging. Mine read around 67-69% in my logs. Last few fillups have been from a Speedway in Michigan. They list minimum at 51% there.

What OBD II adapter do you use with your EngineLink app?

Linked in my post above, but there are ones much cheaper both WiFi & Bluetooth.

I was a little cornfused when I saw this on their website:

 

NOTE: Apple products are not compatible with OBDLink MX.
