Default Re: Flex fuel conversion kits with automatic adjustments

The kit I have is EPA certified too.

What that means is, testing shows the use of the kit and ethanol will NOT increase emissions beyond what the vehicle emitted with the factory equipment.

Thus, if you have an ULEV, EPA says you will still have an ULEV ( or better ) using the kit and ethanol.

EPA cannot, and will not gurantee this will not affect car performance, or manufacturer warranties. All EPA says is: "These kits do not make the car exceed emission standards."

So while "EPA certifed" is a good thing, don't read more into it.
