FLEX-JET:
FLEX-JET is a patent pending Flexible Fuel Conversion System that converts gasoline engines originally equipped with carburetors or throttle body injection so they can be fuel flexible. Flex-Jet is Rochester Products' most inexpensive conversion kit and it requires no tuning for stock OEM* carbureted engines. Flex-Jet optional accessories include Distributor-Timing Control (DTC) and Exhaust Gas Oxygen (O2) Sensing. DTC is used in high compression engines to eliminate detonation by controlling engine timing based on the amount of ethanol in the fuel. Exhaust Gas Oxygen (O2) Sensing is for non-computer controlled carburetors. O2 Sensing can be either a standard narrowband O2 or Wideband O2 Sensor. For custom engine applications, Flex-Jet software can be tuned by a Laptop, PDA, Tablet PC or Calibration Module.

Rochester Products Corporation manufactures all flexible fuel conversion systems to include everything needed to correctly convert a gasoline only car, boat or truck for flexible fuel operation. For ethanol compatibility, depending upon the vehicle, certain fuel system parts may need to be replaced or modified.

Flex-Jet doesn't tamper or modify any of the emissions control systems on vehicles with carbureted engines. While using E85, the use of Flex-Jet improves emission via improving control of the engines air to fuel ratio. Flex-Jet is guarrenteed to meet all state inspection emission tests for vehicles 25 years of age and older.

FLEX-JET Conversion Kit Includes:

1. FLEX-JET Electronic Control Processor Module
2. Injectors (4)
3. Wiring Harness
4. Flexible Fuel Sensor
5. High Performance Fuel Pump
6. Injector Manifold with rails
7. Low pressure regulator
8. High pressure regulator
9. Set of fuel lines
10. Set of seals
11. Documentation package.

*OEM: Original Equipment Manufacturer.


While they do state that, for 25 years old, it is an understanding that you are on your own in regards to emissions, but they are not going so far as to state on this unit is for off road use only, so that takes some liability on their shoulders.As far as meeting emissions, they do not claim to make it, but they also are taking some liability for use on the road, so while they dive on the emissions themselves, they aren't on the fact it is used on the road. It didn't get past me, but it is such that they have SOME responsibility, just not that when you pull into the emissins test station it will automatically meet the standards. Its like a manifold that it CARB accepted, they don't guarantee that it will meet emissions, only that it is accepted. Even the carbs they sell that sit on top of the manifold aren't guaranteed to meet emissions, only the fact it is accepted.
