    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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!
