FullFlex recommendations...


Checking your injector connectors.
IT is imperative to verify the type of injector your vehicle has.
(Click the connector to see a larger version)
Spark Plugs and Spark Plug Cables:
They should be kept with the same thermal degree indicated by the engine manufacturer; this should not be altered. They should be changed at manufacturers recommended intervals.

Fuel, oil and engine oil filters:
They should be changed for the engine safety and user comfort sake. It is recommended to make the change at the first 625 miles after the Full Flex Gold installation, because the oil filter and fuel filter can be contaminated with the sludge caused by gasoline. From then on, the change should be made at manufacturers recommended intervals.

Engine:
In spite of the higher consumption per mile traveled, the ethanol is cleaner and does not cause problems and if used in an E85 mix it will promote better lubrication of the parts in contact with the mixture and thus, will increase the engine useful life and ensure a significant increase in fuel economy.

"The engine that runs on ethanol and gasoline is more economical, ensures a long useful life due to the low contamination of oil and most importantly, is pollution free".

Fuel Pump:
Check the fuel pump pressure and flow. These items are important for the good operation of the system. The fuel pump should be in accordance and within the standards set by the vehicle manufacturer. After confirming the compliance of the data above, you may proceed with the Full Flex Gold installation.

The use of ethanol reduces the vehicles original fuel pump useful life, Serious wear can occur due to the removing of the deposits left by the gasoline impurities in the fuel tank.

Injectors:
The injectors should not be cleaned .The injectors are gauged to run under the normal pressure of 3.0 bar, with 5% tolerance; a low tolerance that if not respected, can cause losses: increased consumption, poor vehicle performance, bumps while changing gears and difficulty to reach the maximum speed.

Polarity:
The polarity of the injectors is important; some vehicle manufacturers invert the feeding, thus causing problems when you have to install some equipment. However, Full Flex Gold recognizes the polarity automatically, as well as the injection nozzle resistance and the current used, thus avoiding problems during the product installation.


Oxygen sensor:
It should be in perfect operating condition, which means that submitted to an evaluation it should be oscillating between 50 and 950 mill volts, always bordering on minimum and maximum.


All other sensors:
Make sure that all other vehicle sensors are in good working condition, the full flex unit needs the proper data to run engine controls to allow normal driving conditions to be met.

Cold Start or Winter Driving
As no two vehicles are created the same with fuel management systems and fuel delivery systems one of the few thing that exists in a vehicle running an after market Bi Fuel converter system is some vehicle experience a hesitation on the normal start running E85. As there is no exact solution for this right now, what we have found that a simple solution is merely adding t to 6 gallons of gas to your E85 mix.
