Maintenance and care LPG refill capacities - gasoline equivalent Single in-bed tank 127.7L (33.7 gallons) F-150 Dual in-bed tanks 107.5L (28.4 gallons) - Regular Cab 97.0L (25.6 gallons) - SuperCab FUEL DISPENSING EQUIPMENT Most dispensing equipment will have a digital indicator that displays the cost and amount of fuel delivered to your vehicle. Fuel delivery to the vehicle is stopped when the amount of fuel stored on the vehicle reaches the maximum refill pressure or quantity (depending upon application). Certain noises can be expected during the refueling process and may vary depending on the type of fuel dispensing equipment and your proximity to the fuel compression and storage equipment. At the beginning of refueling you might hear the rushing noise of gas entering the vehicle through the station hose and tubing. At the end of refueling, the fuel receptacle on the vehicle may make a high pitched noise or chatter. This is another indication that refueling is nearly complete. Also, the station dispensing equipment compressor may turn on at any time during the refueling process. REFUELING STATIONS To obtain a directory of all CNG refueling stations in the United States, contact the American Gas Association (AGA) at 1-703-841-8400. In Canada, contact Union Gas at 1-800-265-5277. For information on LPG refueling stations, contact the U.S Dept of Energy Altertnative Fuels Data Center at 1-800-423-1DOE (423-1363). TANK INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT The fuel tank(s) of the Gaseous Fuel Injection System (CNG or LPG, depending upon application) must be inspected and tested on a regular basis to verify the condition of the tank(s). Refer to your scheduled maintenance guide in your owner's portfolio for fuel tank inspection intervals. Inspection and testing of the fuel tank(s) must be done by a qualified Ford service technician, or by the local authority governing the enforcement of gaseous fuel regulations in the jurisdiction of which you refuel. 29
