Aeromotive Eliminates Flow Restrictions with its First-Ever Flex Fuel Sensor Adapter

Aeromotive’s Flex Fuel Sensor Adapter features ORB -10 inlet and outlet ports that can be adapted to any size fuel line with a dual O-ring seal for the OEM Flex Fuel sensor’s 3/8-inch tube.

Aeromotive, the leading aftermarket fuel systems and accessories manufacturer, has developed a new Flex Fuel Sensor Adapter to accommodate high-flow demands while still allowing the OEM Flex Fuel sensor to accurately read the ethanol-gasoline ratio in the fuel system at all times.

Ethanol requires 30% more volume compared to gasoline, and OEM Flex Fuel sensors commonly become a restriction point on high-flow fuel systems. The adapter allows a portion of the fuel to pass through the sensor while the remainder is diverted through a secondary channel with vastly increased flow capacity. This new sensor adapter is designed to work with OEM Flex Fuel sensors part numbers 13577429, 13577379 and 13577394, allowing fuel to flow above 400 liters per hour.
