I have a 2013 impala flex fuel and the fuel pump went i was went up to autozone to get one and to my surprise I was informed this vehicle has two fuel pumps the one on the high pressure side costs 300 plus dollars and the other one cost 400 plus dollars not only was the price shocking my other problem is that I don't know how to tell which of these two pumps are bad on my car
Hello, I take always E85 when I go to France with my 1995 E320 M104 Mercedes W210 without any modification since more than 64.000 km/ 40.000 miles. Fuel consomption goes higher by 30% but at the low prices in France where I can get this E85 it's no obstacle to me: 0,50 EUR / litre vs. 1,50 EUR / litre.
in the north in winter, when the humidity is almost zero from November-march theres no water in the air that can even be absorbed into the lines or tank, so it doesnt matter. i would assume some desert areas with almost 0 humidity would be the same. But the cracking of teh cheap plastic parts from alcohol based fuels...ok. I have had alcohol sitting in cheap $1 plastic container for years and it has not cracked... but wtf do i know?>
So what are you trying to say? So what's the purpose of this flex fuel vehicles? Ok for once be able to use that e85... And fuel would give Me way more miles per gallon than regular gas right? But it comes at a cost! Is it worth it???
Easy i have a 99 ranger the 3.0L flex fuel they stamp it with a badge look at gas tank its says e85 open gas tank door its says e85 there owners manual a lot of different ways to tell if u have a flex fuel.
Well smarty pants, there are a helluva lot of vehicles that are flex fuel compatible that are not badged that way. Look at your VIN engine code. they are the same. for a 2014 Cruze both are engine code G
All vehicle can run on flex fuel 50/50, you can fill half a tank first with regular gasoline and than other with E85 , you don't need any special parts, it's all sales gimmick , I run my 2000 non flex truck on E85
Sam Bakshi if you have flex fuel car that means it does not matter whether you fill with regular gas or E85 fuel completely it will run fine but for all other non flex fuel cars you can fill half tank with E85 and the rest with regular gas it will run fine and save money
Delphi diesel Fuel pumps are the worst pumps on the market!! He never told the consumer how to identify a Delphi fuel system as he knows people will run in the opposite direction of any vehicle offered for sale!
So on a flex vehicle I can use regular gasoline no problem right? Got ya! 👍🏼

My gas door says e85 or unleaded but when i started using e85 my fuel level gauge is now malfunctioning
5 star ,very informative, just can't get away with the gloves at the beginning and now with glasses,

Great to know, Thank You for sharing.
I have been considering your bmw n55 f30 coil pack.
Hi, can you help me determine where the flex fuel sensor is on a 2013 C350 ?
What if you have a 5.7 hemi dodge ram 2006? Mine has no indicators
How do you identify the injectors themselves
Does that mean Costco has is bad for the fuel system?
I use regular gasoline but I have P0178 code. Do I need to flex fuel sensor out still? Even while I’m using regular gasoline?
Yes you need to fix that sensor. When that code sets, the engine management system will set to a default ethanol content, on my truck it’s 38%.
@@Mattvardaman Thanks!
@@MikeBeatzcom you’re welcome. The default of 38% wastes a massive amount of fuel, but saves the engine if you’re running flex.
@@Mattvardaman glad to know this. Just we have mechanics like you where I live at. Just to be honest with people.
So I can’t put 87, 91 or 93?
I prefer Bosch
0:48 Ethyl alcohol and ethanol are the same thing wtf? E85 is E85 not ethanol.
ethanol is alcohol my dude

I have a Ford 150 flexfuel
I fill my gas tank and it only fills half . So I have fill the other half with e85 ?
Sam Bakshi if you have flex fuel car that means it does not matter whether you fill with regular gas or E85 fuel completely it will run fine but for all other non flex fuel cars you can fill half tank with E85 and the rest with regular gas it will run fine and save money
doesn't explain like the video says of how to identify flex fuel though
riff724 riff724 basically a Chevy truck or Ford truck
He said IN THE TITLE how to identity flex fuel VEHICLES ....not fuel.
PAY ATTENTION!!! GEEZZ
@@tgwoolshire Where is the video did he explain which character of the in can identify flex and if he didn't where is it for 2005 Tahoe?
@@sigersonholmes7758 Look in your manual.
@@tgwoolshire I found it online. 8th vin character z = flex-fuel and 8th vin T- non-flex
PUMP documentary from Netflix brought me here!
Is Flex Fuel more expensive?
Actually I believe it's less expensive but might have to fill up more frequently
@@nickoneill4918 So what's the purpose of a felx fuel vehicle if it isn't giving Me more miles per gallon?
Non of that corrosion applies here in Tucson. Every car E85 no problem. Lol
