I currently have no use for a racecar and yet Doug makes me want to build a race car!

[@wideslammer]

Doug is real comfortable in front of the camera and gives a clear (with a little humor as a bonus) explanation of the product and how he's installing it.

[@jasonpatterson947]

I am so looking forward to seeing Derek (VGG) running this car..... Should be a very entertaining videos 🤣😂🤣

[@grahamerosewarne6656]

The explanation on how fuel sensor works was awesome as usual for tech tip Tuesday. Well done Motion Race works 👍🤟☝️🤞🤙💪🙏👏😂👋🙂

[@donaldlawton7384]

Gret watch, and wish you fellas all the luck and safe travels👍🏻👍🏻

[@sanger440]

Looks like a very well designed product. Definitely worth the money. Thanks.

[@learysinsight9617]

Got one from you. Thanks! Plus thanks for the awesome service and speed! You guys even sent me a link to this video, plus the sucks were perfect!

[@MrLangleylad]

Great products , great info , great videos and great people

[@wayneshotrods]

You make it look so easy!!

[@GregoryBrettin]

Good timing! I'm about to put this on my car.

[@ripnsoar]

The top notch packaging is appreciated 🤝📈

[@hierarchymotorz5388]

I’ve been waiting on this video, thanks. It was right on time as usual. Could you do a video on wiring trunk mounted batteries and shut off switches?

[@BLKMGK4]

Really like this design, some of the adapters I've seen just slip on the end and the hoses can pop off! Needs a safety clip or a bracket like this that retains it - very nice! Like that bypass passage too in order to prevent restriction in high flow apps.

[@markd4838]

Great info... Well done

[@frostbitegarage7479]

Well done!

[@StreetCarHeadquarters]

If I see those hose cutters on your website, I’m DEFINITELY ordering some! 🤣

[@tomanycooks]

very nice

[@KCadbyRacing]

Thinking about getting this for my buddie's ZX14R Dragbike 😎 We've been surprised how consistent the pump E85 we get is (usually 82%) but it would be nice/easy being able to run anything from pump E10 up to E98 once the tune is calibrated for both...

[@evo6swap]

thank you

[@brandonemmons5438]

Derek is a crack up.

[@TH3N00K]

I’m curious as to why you put the sensor on the feed side. Would love to hear your reasoning because I have a lot of respect for how Doug/MotionRaceworks do things in general.

[@JWP1990]

Ummmmm you didn’t watch the video. @8:10 answers your EXACT question

[@TH3N00K]

@@JWP1990 damn. I did watch the video and somehow completely missed that. Whoops.

[@travist3379]

What's happening with the Blazer? Really want to see an update on that!

[@n8dawg450r]

Referring to when you made mention of the Haltech system and it's advanced E85 capabilities. If you did install this sensor on the return side, to help eliminate the possible air bubbles messing with your sensor readings. If a check valve, with a low 2-3psi crack pressure, was installed between the sensor and the tank, essentially creating a 2-3psi backup through the sensor and the rest of the return portion of the fuel system. What sort effects would this have on your fuel systems main fuel pressure regulator setting and function? Is it as simple as the additional crack pressure of the check valve adding to your previous regulator psi setting?

[@lambethracing7890]

Can we get a tech tip Tuesday on how to add sensor grounds and 5v on an existing Holley harness

[@joshwynn457]

Can you run your sensor with a stock 99 f body ecu, or no..? My car's on e85, and I have 2 places local to get it, but it's not always there and I'd like to be able to put 93 in it too. Thanks!

[@charlesmartin6633]

Like the weekly tech tips don't talk bad about the Fords there more than the LS.

[@detrickv]

what's the part number for that 3-wire connector you wired into the flex fuel sensor??

[@sportster350]

next tech tip can you do air to water intercooler setup and explain how that works. how to run it???

[@J2A61]

So is the fuel line you guys had on it already rated for E?

[@dupeaccount1647]

It's a cool concept and I'm about to buy one, but I wouldn't worry too much about the line being a restriction or not. After all the orifice tube on a fuel pump is smaller than 10AN. The fuel lines coming out of the "hat" of an EFI tank are smaller than 10AN. Just because you have some very small parts of the fuel system that are smaller than 10AN doesn't mean it only flows as much as the smallest size fitting.

[@deathstormvp]

Does it work with the compact ac delco sensor?

[@matttackel997]

You referenced in the video that the sensor can be placed on either feed or return side. Is there a "preference" to which side to run it on?

[@dupeaccount1647]

Feed.

[@ashleypope3363]

Good to know you don't just simply power it up to batt power/ earth and put all 3 to the ecus applicable points...🙂👌

[@digidiplomat]

[@snyder8025]

Could that sensor replace a factory sensor on a 02 gmc 1500

[@dalehall2993]

ABSOLUTELY.

[@stumpy990]

Sware I heard Doug say McFarland Raceworks in the opening.

[@Sharkey_t]

your wiring info is conflicting. the link on your site says it requires 5v, but the diagram shows 12v. i cant say ive ever seen a flex fuel sensor that requires 5v.

[@pourtierbeatz7804]

Are there more benefits to running in the feed then the return?

[@dalehall2993]

Start at 8:10...

[@dupeaccount1647]

If you put it into the return line, the return line will be partially empty / have air in it. That can mess up the readings.

[@scottbennett3548]

@@mikeaustino4505 not exactly sure but I think just the sensor and a tune...but you’ve got to make sure your injectors and all of your fuel lines and filters are E85 compatible because E85 is corrosive to some things.

[@vielle568]

The flex fuel sensor should be powered by the ECU, that is 12 volts DC. Also, it will need to be integrated into the car's software, it won't control the injectors just because it has been added into the fuel line. No information was given on this topic.

@@motorotto8586 i'm an old fart and they never have been cheap. cheaper now than in the 70s now you have Chinese junk everywhere. Doug, i did a brake job on my OBS Chevy 2500 this weekend. i went to the parts stores and i can yell you it was damn near impossible to buy USA made parts. Brake rotors and bearings and seals and hoses and calipers all Chinese crap! i fought that junk for days to get my task done. i personally want to thank you for making top quality USA made parts.

[@MotionRaceworksOfficial]

Definitely not cheap. These parts are engineered, tested, and manufactured in the USA. The good thing is you get the quality and innovation you pay for and won’t have to deal with crappy China quality parts when they arrive. We take a lot of pride in innovating and manufacturing.

Everything looks great on the bracket but the price. Whatever happened to making things affordable for Americans? Enough with the "go fast parts ain't cheap", "not made in China" etc. Then make them affordable for the normal people who aren't sponsored by mom,dad or a company!
