Maintenance and care Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) Use only an automotive grade LPG in your LPG Bi-fuel vehicle. Automotive grade LPG is typically referred to as HD-5 Propane and contains at least 90% propane. Strict limits are placed on the amount of other hydrocarbon gases which can be introduced into automotive grade propane. The use of an LPG fuel that does not meet the specification for HD-5 Propane (HD-10 Propane in California) is not recommended and may cause engine damage. REFUELING YOUR BI-FUEL VEHICLE Refueling your CNG or LPG Bi- fuel vehicle, with a few exceptions, is very similar to refueling a standard unleaded gasoline powered vehicle. Before refueling your CNG or LPG Bi- fuel vehicle, be sure to read and understand Important safety precautions in the Maintenance and care chapter of your Owner's Guide and this supplement. For safety reasons, use the same care and caution when refueling the gaseous fuel injection system as you would when refueling the unleaded gasoline fuel system. In particular, the engine must always be turned off when refueling. DO NOT refuel your vehicle with the engine running or with the ignition in the ON position. Failure to do so can be hazardous to personal safety and property. Some localities mandate a sticker be displayed showing the date of the next required inspection. In localities requiring this sticker, refueling station technicians are not allowed to refill your gaseous fuel tank(s) if the sticker is not visible or if the date has expired. For more information, refer to Tank inspection and replacement in the Maintenance and care chapter of this supplement. Many localities have restrictions on refueling CNG and LPG fueled vehicles. In these localities, only qualified technicians at designated refueling stations are allowed to refuel your vehicle. Refer to your local authorized Ford dealer for more information. Fuel fill procedure - compressed natural gas (CNG) Two methods for filling the CNG fuel tank(s) are available to CNG Bi-fuel vehicle owners: • The fast-fill method - available at many of the commercial and privately owned CNG refueling stations. 23
