Not compatible with PRL PTFE fuel lines
Overview
Important Notes:
- WiFi module analyzes ethanol content wirelessly via smart devices
- Optional 0.5V - 4.5V configurable output for use with tuning devices/data loggers
Technical Notes:
The PRL Motorsports Plug 'n Play WiFi Flex Fuel / Ethanol Content Analyzer Kit allows customers to wirelessly monitor ethanol content via any smart device or enable flex fuel via an optional 0.5-4.5V configurable output with a tuning device. Our innovative patent-pending design utilizes factory fuel lines, eliminating the potential for alternative fuel line degradation and improving aesthetics. This kit utilizes the factory plug/output under the hood for power and communication to the ECU, meaning no additional wiring, cutting, splicing, wiring into the fuse box, or running wires through the firewall into the cabin is required. All hardware and brackets are included for quick and easy installation. The kit can be installed and uninstalled within minutes. Please note that we have not included an ethanol content gauge as we believe they are unnecessary with our kit. Both Hondata and KTuner V1.2 offer Bluetooth capabilities, and you can display ethanol content using the KTuner V2 LCD screen if desired. All components are ethanol compliant!
Did you know the factory fuel line assembly is actually Teflon and highly resistant to ethanol-based fuels?
The factory fuel line is actually constructed of an EPDM (fuel and oil resistant synthetic rubber) outer hose and an inner ETFE (another Teflon coating similar to PTFE) liner, providing excellent resistance to various fuels, including ethanol-based fuels. Because of this, there is no reason to "upgrade" or replace the factory fuel line assembly when using this ethanol content analyzer / flex fuel kit, provided it is not kinked or damaged (note the "Do Not Kink" warning on the line).
Why use ethanol?
Due to rising gas prices and the push for alternative fuel sources, ethanol, primarily derived from corn, has become a cost-effective and popular fuel choice. Ethanol is now available at most modern gas stations, and the community is now realizing the benefits of ethanol compared to gasoline, such as the fact that it burns cleaner, cooler, and is more resistant to knock. These characteristics make ethanol an inexpensive alternative to expensive race fuels like race gas or methanol, especially for high-compression, factory turbocharged vehicles.
E85 = 85% ethanol, 15% gasoline; E30 = 30% ethanol, 70% gasoline, etc.
What is Flex Fuel?
In a nutshell, "Flex Fuel" allows an internal combustion engine to flexibly utilize one or more different fuels (usually gasoline mixed with ethanol or methanol fuel), with both fuels stored in the same common fuel tank. The Flex-Fuel system utilizes an ethanol content analyzer to measure the amount of ethanol in the fuel system and uses a converter to send this measurement to the vehicle's ECU, which adjusts instantaneously to the different fuel mixtures.
Kit Contents:
- Billet aluminum flex fuel converter case with sealed and potted board (WiFi)
- Genuine GM Continental ethanol content sensor

- Plug-and-play braided wire harness
- Stainless steel mounting bracket
- Stainless steel hardware
Before Ordering
〇 Regarding Import Consumption Tax
At the Shaftoya shopping site, we pay the import consumption tax incurred at the time of import on your behalf, so there will be no additional charges beyond the total amount paid at checkout.
〇Compatibility Check
Our entire product database is based on North American vehicles (USDM). Please confirm whether or not these products can be installed on Japanese vehicles (JDM) before ordering. (If you are unsure if a listed product is compatible with your vehicle, please feel free to contact us. Our support team will be happy to look into it for you.)
If you order without confirming compatibility, we cannot accept returns due to incompatibility.
Please note that even if a product is sorted by selecting the year, manufacturer, and vehicle model using the tabs on our top page, it does not necessarily mean it will fit a Japanese model vehicle without modification.
All products have been translated into Japanese using translation software. As there may be confusing expressions, please contact us before ordering if you have any questions.
○ Regarding Delivery
Shipping costs are paid at the time of payment. Shipping estimates are calculated automatically when you enter your shipping address on the checkout page. For large items such as body parts, there may occasionally be a significant discrepancy between the automatically calculated shipping cost and the actual shipping cost. In such cases, we will contact you individually by email.
All products are generally shipped internationally from our US warehouse. Unlike domestic shipping in Japan, international shipping takes approximately 7 to 14 days, so please order with enough time to spare. If you are in a hurry, please contact us to confirm the delivery date in advance. Please note that all products are transported by air. They are not shipped by sea.
○ Regarding Japanese Vehicle Inspection (Shaken) Compatibility
Please note that all products we handle are designed and manufactured outside of Japan. They are not compliant with "Japanese vehicle inspection (Shaken) standards," and we cannot provide strength calculation documents or similar paperwork for Japanese inspection purposes. Therefore, all parts are sold for the purpose of "use on circuits, private property, or off-road," and installation and use are at your own risk.
○ Regarding Warranty
Please check the contents immediately upon arrival. Since all products are shipped internationally from outside Japan, there may be shipping damage to the packaging or products. Please understand that we will only provide returns, refunds, or replacement exchanges for items with shipping damage, defective products, or items different from what was ordered if you contact us within 7 days of receipt. Please note that for products sold through us, we will handle warranty-related matters "only through us." We do not handle matters through other companies or distributors located within Japan.
