[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 106620, member: 2806"] If your meter won't display λ you'll still be OK. The number displayed won't be the actual AFR of whatever fuel you use. Instead, it will be the actual λ measured by the sensor multiplied by an arbitrary number (i.e. 14.7). If you mentally divide each reading by 14.7 you'll get λ. But, since the multiplicative factor is a constant, the "AFR" values displayed won't depend on the fuel. So, if you burn pure ethanol, which is stoichiometric with an AFR = 9:1, the meter will display "AFR = 14.7" if the combustion is complete. The displayed numbers are bogus, but you are saved because they are consistently bogus. [/QUOTE]
