2. eFlexFuel® Installation
In this section, the installation of eFlexFuel conversion kit is presented. The installation consist of 4 parts:
1.
Plan your installation
2.
Ethanol sensor installation
3.
Wiring harness installation
4.
Finalize the installation
Please follow the QR-code for installation videos:
2.1 Plan your installation
1.
Turn off the ignition from the vehicle and allow the engine to cool down. Block or secure the vehicle and confirm there are
no combustion sources near or around the vehicle and work area.
2.
Open fuel cap to release pressure from the fuel tank.
3.
Plan the installation; ethanol sensor location and wiring harness routing.
4.
Remove all necessary parts to gain access to the fuel injectors. e.g. fairings, seat, tank.
2.2 Ethanol sensor installation
WARNING: Fire/explosion risk from gasoline & vapors.
or routing may result in spilled fuel. Assure that the engine is cold, and no electrical or other ignition sources are within or adjacent to
the working area. Use rags to remove any spilt fuel and dispose in appropriate sealed container.
The ethanol sensor installation consists of the following main parts
1.
Disconnect the fuel line from the fuel rail.
2.
Plan and make a new fuel line assembly including the ethanol sensor to replace old fuel line. Use quick connectors.
3.
Connect the new fuel line assembly to the engine.
2.2.1
New fuel line assembly
Plan the installation and consider the following key points:
1.
Ethanol sensor should be installed to a location free from moving parts and high temperatures. Engine movement may
cause the fuel hose to rub against components and thus cause damage to the hose itself if installed incorrectly. Installing
the fuel hose too close to a hot source may cause the hose to melt which can lead to slipping or leaking. Clean the fuel line
connection before disconnecting them.
2.
The fuel hose should be installed as straight as possible. Avoid tight bends. Minimum radius for a bend is 8mm (3.1"). Tight
bending of a fuel hose may cause breaching and/or leaking.
3.
If an additional fuel hose is required during the installation, use the fuel hose included in the eFlexFuel® accessories kit.
Disconnection of the fuel line is done in this step. Improper installation
