Most of the Ethanol sensors I've seen mount inline on the fuel line, usually somewhere in the engine compartment. So you shouldn't need to get at the tank. here's an example designed for the S4. They sell a ton of individual components, so I'm sure you could put together a similar package for your A8.
I don't get it either. Just leave them off and conceal the tail pipes
Yes please!
No more fake exhausts, we know they are fake so why do it. Lol

If you do E40, how are you planning to tank up?
Just curious, I haven't heard of E40 down here in Fl.

You use an ethanol calculator like this one (there are tons of others, and mobile apps too).
For example, if I have a 15 gallon tank that is currently a quarter full of premium (E10), then I add 6 gallons of E85 and 5.25 gallons of premium to make a full tank of E40. If there was already E40 in there, then it's 4.5 gallons of E85 and 6.75 gallons of premium to maintain that.
Yeah I don’t understand that at all. Just let the exhausts be hidden
I think they want to have a normal ICE looking car. Like tesla in early days they had grilles. I doesn't bother me though. When you need to load things into the trunk and engine is running, the hot smoke doesn't burn your legs. For some cars, GLE (?) you can pay extra to have real exhausts.

That is an ICE Audi. Not an EV. Many many cars have hidden tailpipes. I don't understand making a fake looking tailpipe thing when the tailpipe is hidden, just let it be hidden.
"You didn't understand my post." Lol. I know it's an ICE car. "I think they want to have a normal ICE looking car." To have not to look like. That's why there's supporting detail like the GLE... Tesla decided to drop the grilles because they want to look EV. That detail is more subtle.

It can be a normal looking ICE car without fake exhaust tips...its just a design detail thats dumb. Cars had hidden exhausts long before there was ever such a thing as an EV.
Jill I must say that in Canada where cars rust out, you do see a lot of interesting old ones!!!
The following pics are just examples of how many 200s there are around here, it's just a heavy area for them. This was all over the last couple days. On the contrary I noticed when I was up in Rochester, NY.... I did not see one single 200. Which is interesting because it's about the best snow vehicle on earth, and they sure get it.
This was funny at the gas station. I said, "So, yours as thrifty as mine?" Which started a whole conversation. She gets it, said she doesn't care about the bad gas mileage and won't ever drive anything else. She said her husband has a huge Ford pickup and she won't drive that even because she doesn't feel safe (that's a stretch, but her prerogative). She actually made me LOL because when I laughed how if you drive the thing for more than 10 minutes the gauge moves, she said she blames it on her young kids and (jokingly) accuses them to explain that needle that always goes straight to E so fast lol. But overall she doesn't care about the bad gas mileage like the vast, vast majority of owners of these.
Also note the chrome on my rear window (passenger rear) is all out of whack, I have to take it back to the body shop and have them fix it from the last ordeal.
My mentor wanted his work truck detailed so I did that yesterday evening, thing is a monster....
650hp/1150tq built 6.4L compound turbo diesel, horrendously involved to make it reliable but he did so a couple years back. It's fun to drive a car that sees 58psi boost and has almost 1000tq at 1000 rpm lol!
Makes me want a diesel of my own even more since the engine is so vocal, you constantly get to listen to various systems work. Very calming IMO
