Some of these didn't quite hit the 50 Hz low / 150 Hz high targets due to production tolerances.

The next beta firmware has some tweaks to assist with this.

Re: Continental Flex fuel sensor
Water is a contaminant for those sensors---esp 30% water.
1% or so will stay in suspension, but gasoline wont stay in suspension above a certain water concentration.
That's how the little water mix ethanol% test cylinders work...
the water mixes with the alcohol and the gasoline separates out, leaving a visible transition.
IPA will mix fine with gasoline as long as the water % is low.
(Its used as diesel or gas "drygas")
