The Nostrum ESSIM is an Ethanol Sensor Signal Interface Module: it reads ethanol content and fuel temperature in real time on a petrol engine and turns that into signals your ECU or dash can use. This is the universal kit - the module, a universal output harness and a universal power harness with bare unterminated ends - for a build with no ready-made vehicle kit behind it. If you are blending fuel and want the calibration to know what is actually in the tank rather than guessing from the last fill, this is the part that closes the loop.
Best For
Flex fuel builds where the blend changes between fills and the tune needs to follow it
Engine swaps, kit cars and race builds with no vehicle-specific ESSIM kit available
Tuners feeding ethanol content to two devices at once, one on CAN and one on an analog input
Owners who want live ethanol content and fuel temperature on a phone while testing a new blend
What The Module Reads And Sends
ESSIM gives you 0-5V analog, PWM and CAN outputs, configured individually and usable simultaneously, so a standalone ECU can take the CAN message while a logger takes the analog signal from the same module. Ethanol content and fuel temperature are the core readings, and fuel pressure can be added with a compatible pressure sensor. The iOS and Android app handles live monitoring, and it needs a phone rather than a tablet or a Windows machine.
Wiring A Universal Kit Into Your Build
The universal power harness ships with bare, unterminated ends. That is deliberate - it is what lets the kit go into any build - but it means you are making off switched power and ground yourself and routing the loom to suit the car. The Continental SE1004 ethanol sensor is a separate purchase, along with the fuel line adapters to plumb it in. If Nostrum builds a dedicated kit for your car, such as the 3.0L EcoBoost Explorer ST ESSIM kit, that route arrives pre-terminated and saves the wiring work.

Fitment And Setup Checks
Plan the custom wiring before ordering: this kit expects you to terminate switched power and ground and route the harness yourself.
Order the Continental SE1004 sensor and the fuel line fittings to mount it alongside the module.
Check which output your ECU or logger wants, and that you have a spare input free for it.
For an Explorer ST, 2.3 Ranger or 3.0 Ranger Raptor, ask about the vehicle kit before taking the universal route.
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.
Questions before you order
Frequently asked questions
Is the ethanol sensor included?
No. The kit is the module and the two harnesses. The Continental SE1004 sensor is bought separately, with the fittings to plumb it into the fuel line.
Can I use the analog and CAN outputs at the same time?
Yes. The outputs are configured individually and run simultaneously, so one module can feed an ECU on CAN and a logger or gauge on analog.
Should I buy this or a vehicle-specific kit?
If Nostrum makes a kit for your car, take it - it arrives pre-terminated with vehicle-specific lines and adapters. The universal kit is for cars with no dedicated version, or builds already being wired from scratch. Compare it against the fuel sensor range.
