Default E85 sensor reading 100%

I have an e85 sensor that’s reading 100%. I did changed the fuel Pump. Read fine after fuel pump swap. Drove the car around the block a few times after fueling it up and it was fine. Last night went to start it up and now it’s reading 100%. Changed sensor to 3 different ones, Changed the harness, checked the pin in the computer(which is fine) wiring going from sensor to computer is fine, and I tried a different power and ground source. Still reads 100%. Any thoughts on what’s wrong?

Can we rule out you’re not running E98? What sensors are you using? How is wired? Where are the reading coming from? Specifics on the car?

Mine reads alcohol % through a ZR1 MAP and my dashlogic does the display on the HUD. Pretty simple set up. It reads exactly the same as HP tuners so it’s pretty damn accurate.

Probably water in the fuel from when you fueled it up:
