Summary
If you run ethanol in a 2.3 EcoBoost Ranger, the blend in the tank is never quite the number on the pump. It shifts with season, supplier and whatever was left in the tank before, and a calibration that assumes a fixed blend is guessing. The Nostrum ESSIM kit ends the guesswork: the Ethanol Sensor Signal Interface Module reads ethanol content and fuel temperature at the engine in real time and turns that into 0-5V analog, PWM and CAN signals that can all be configured individually and used at once. This is the vehicle-specific version, so it comes with a genuine Continental ethanol sensor on a stainless bracket made for the truck, the low pressure fuel lines to and from the sensor, pre-terminated harness adapters and instructions written for this application.
Best For
Ranger 2.3 EcoBoost owners running E85 or ethanol blends who want the tune to follow the fuel
Builds already fitted with a high flow HPFP or injectors, where fuel quality is now the variable
Tuners who want ethanol content logged inside their own tuning suite alongside everything else
Owners who want to check the blend on a phone before deciding what map to run
What The Module Reads And Sends
Ethanol content and fuel temperature are the core readings, taken at the engine rather than in the tank, so the value reflects what is actually being burned. Fuel pressure monitoring is possible as well, with a compatible pressure sensor added separately. The three output types run simultaneously, which means a standalone gauge can take the analog signal while the tuning suite takes CAN. For quick checks there is Bluetooth and the Nostrum iOS app, which is the easiest way to see the blend before you fill up or after a top-up with petrol.

Fitment And Setup Checks
This kit is the Ford Ranger 2.3 EcoBoost version. The Ranger Raptor 3.0 EcoBoost has its own matching ESSIM kit with lines and brackets for that engine, so order by engine rather than by model name.
A pressure sensor is needed if you want fuel pressure as well as ethanol content and temperature. It is not part of this kit.
Decide with your tuner which output you are using before installation, since that determines where the signal wire has to land.
Reading ethanol content does not change the calibration by itself; a flex fuel or blend-aware tune is what puts the data to work.

Frequently asked questions
Why sense ethanol at the engine rather than the tank?
Because that is where the fuel actually is when it burns. Content measured at the engine reflects mixing and top-ups, so a blend-aware tune reacts to the real number rather than the last thing you put in.
Can the outputs be used at the same time?
Yes. The analog, PWM and CAN outputs are configured individually and run together, so a gauge and a logging device can both take data from one module.
Does this suit a Ranger with a fuel system upgrade already fitted?
That is a common pairing. Once a high flow pump and injector bundle is in, fuel quality becomes the main variable left, and this is what measures it.
Delivery, customs and taxes
Know the landed cost before you order
For UK customers, prices include VAT, customs and delivery unless checkout states otherwise. For customers outside the UK, local customs and taxes remain your responsibility, and shipping is shown at checkout. If a shipping option is not available, email us and we will prepare a tailored quote.
Lead times and urgent orders
Check timing before you commit
Many of the products we sell are made to order, imported or custom built, so a lead time may apply. If you need a part urgently, contact us before ordering and we will confirm the expected delivery timeframe and process.
Fitment first
Check fit before you order
Model year, engine, drivetrain, hardware and existing modifications can all change what fits. Check the applications and supplier notes above, or send us your exact vehicle and setup before ordering.
Check vehicle fitment
Need help with this product?
Send us your vehicle, year, current setup and any fitting date, event, trip or deadline before ordering. We will help check fitment, product choice and timing.
