Ethanol content gauge fluctuating on WOT

[jessemon1106]

What up guys/gals. I have been noticing on my dizzy guage during wot that it goes from e30 to e40 range just for a second And goes back to e30.

Now I think it may be something with my evap or charcoal canister. Right before I noticed it happening. I had to fill up at a new station(same brand fuel). Went about like I normally do mix my e85 them put the pump fully in and let it fill. I hear the click, then immediately hear it overflowing from under the car.

Another though was it may a leak somewhere. I have checked everything and I'm not finding or smelling any fuel.

Car seems to be running fine no codes or stumbling after fill ups.

Just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this before I throw money at the evap system.

TIA

Does it stay between e30 & e40? Is the OAR -1.00? IF yes ....put the Anxiety port in the glove box and drive it.

Haven't check oar in a while as I don't keep my ap hooked up. The biggest jump I've noticed is 30-48 percent.

Its better to be MORE ethanol than LESS* in this situation. You will be fine.

I noticed the gauge can sometimes act a little funny at WOT. Nothing to worry about. As long as it goes back to normal I wouldn’t put too much thought into it. I usually glance at it 5-10 minutes after fill up, check OAR and then I don’t really look at it much. It’ll change like 1% as the tank drains. My girlfriend looks at it more than I do. She’s quick to point out when I’m on 93 (around E8-10) vs like E30-40 lol

Nice, thanks guys. Guess I'm just now noticing it after that fill up and was a bit paranoid. Full send time 😆
