Be aware that you might need a different type of Wideband gauge then the ones running on gasoline.E85 can go up to 4 :1 Air fuel ,regular gauges only go as low as 7.4 ect... AEm makes special wideband kits for E85

Does this affect the lambda value as well? Since I would expect mixtures to be around 1.00~0.85 I expect my sensor to work regardless of the actual AFR needed to get at a certain lambda. Its only a gain from the measured lambda isn't it? Or does the exhaust fumes need different measurement methods? Or does E85 make very very rich mixtures when performing well?
