It's easy.

Buy the sensor, buy the pigtail and then wire it into the computer. Needs power, ground and the sensor signal to the computer. Then enable it in the tune, setup the stoich table and anything else you wish. Like power enrichment changes for alcohol, timing adders.

No, you don't. These fuel systems use mostly steel lines from the tank up the engine bay. Ethanol has been in fuel since the early 2000's with E10 and E15 being a standard for the long while now. They have already made the lines and seals able to withstand it.

I've been running E85 for the past 4 years in my stock non flex fuel truck without issue.

Yes, that is the sensor you can use. I use that same one.
