I recently tried E85 for the very first time in a late model vehicle that could benefit from the performance advantages available from using E85 fuel. The increased performance was VERY noticeable and well worth the loss in fuel efficiency that’s associated with using E85. This flex fuel sensor adapter from Aeroflow would be a great addition to eliminate a common restriction found with factory fuel systems and deliver plenty of fuel when needed the most. It’s a very simple and essential component upgrade. Well done Aeromotive 🏁.
@@AeromotiveFuelSystem … Many thanks to Aeromotive Inc. As a consumer I must say how pleased I am to receive a reply from your company that isn’t auto- generated. It shows a genuine concern for the needs of your customers. I’m currently using your products on my 1970 Mustang Mach 1 powered by a highly modified 351 Cleveland engine that requires race fuel at the drag strip to satisfy the needs of its high compression design. I don’t think it would benefit from using E85 and unfortunately none of my other vehicles are designed to operate on methanol based fuels. The good news is that I’m currently considering the purchase of a new Mustang or a HEMI powered Chrysler vehicle. Either one would benefit from an upgraded fuel delivery system featuring Aeromotive products. I wouldn’t use anything less than the best and Aeromotive is the obvious choice for all types of fuel systems. I look forward to doing business very soon !
@ Aeromotive . I’m currently installing an MPFI Terminator X setup with my supercharged sbc . I’m adding a flex fuel sensor to run both 93 pump and E-85. Dumb question. When you mention it allows you to read your ethanol content. What is doing the reading? Is the ECU reading this and is the premise that this allows a more accurate reading due to the extra reservoir allowing the computer to take better readings to adjust tune on ethanol content or is this a device for a manual reading ie, driver can quickly take a sampling from fuel to test? I’m confused. Apologies somewhat new to the flex fuel EFI on my hotrod. I know ethanol content varies at the pumps somewhat and I have buddies that will actually manually test at the pump, almost like a litmus paper type test to determine alcohol content therefore adjusting settings on their tune. I’d like to incorporate this in my install if it helps my Terminator X with GM flex fuel sensor to gain a more accurate reading.
A flex fuel sensor measures the ethanol content of the fuel being used in the vehicle. The sensor allows the vehicle to operate up to an 85% of ethanol to gasoline blend. Your ECU or similar uses that data to adjust the timing and fuel quantity to be injected. The sensor has a pre calibrated signal that is sent to the ECU in the form of 0 - 5 volts. Having the the flex fuel sensor allows the ECU or engine management system to do the adjustments vs having to do it manually each time you fill up, or if you use a different source of fuel. We would recommend working with a tuner to get the proper parameters setup into your ECU.

Thank you, Daniel! That's exactly why we made this. Let us know when you're ready to throw one on your rig!

how do you mount them It looks like there's no mounting tab? is it supposed to be used with the GM sensor that has mounting bosses?
