Default Flex fuel sensor

Where on a GM truck do the flex fuel sensors mount? Are they exposed to the 60psi of the rail?

Thanks!

I don't need persay to find it on a gm truck, we have one and are using megasquirt to create a flex fuel 4 stroke snowmobile. We were going to mount the sensor between the fuel pump and the rail which will be about 60psi. I assumed that since GM uses 60psi at their rail that we'd be set, but I was making sure....

ps thanks for the quick response!

Flex fuel(E85) factory pressure is 48~54 psi.. Regular gas engines are 55~62 psi. According to my factory manual.

hm... ok lets hope 60 psi doesn't hurt it then I guess I could back it down if I had to Stock rail pressure for the sled is 42psi but we were upping it to 60 in an attempt to make the currect injectors flow enough for e85
