Maintenance and care Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) For your protection, the LPG fuel tanks should be visually inspected every three years or 48 000 kilometers (30 000 miles) whichever comes first. The purpose of the inspection is to check the tank(s) for damage or excessive corrosion which may shorten the tank(s) usable life span. All LPG fuel tank(s) used in Canada may require visual inspection every five years. Contact the local authority governing the enforcement of gaseous fuel regulations in the jurisdiction of which you refuel. LPG fuel tanks that leak, show serious damage or excessive corrosion must be repaired or replaced. FUEL FILTER Your Bi-fuel vehicle is equipped with a separate fuel filter for the gaseous fuel injection system. Its primary function is to remove contaminants from the CNG or LPG fuel and trap it in the filter. The fuel filter must be drained and/or replaced on a regular basis. Refer to your scheduled maintenance guide for service requirements and intervals. Do not modify the gaseous fuel injection system configuration or components. Do not replace the gaseous fuel injection system components with parts not designed for use with your Bi-fuel vehicle. Components designed for use in your CNG or LPG Bi-fuel vehicle consist of special materials and are calibrated especially for your vehicle. Failure to use the correct components may cause damage to the engine and fuel system or possible personal injury. Service to the gaseous fuel injection system components must be conducted only at qualified dealerships by qualified service technicians. Failure to do so may cause damage to the engine and fuel system components or possible personal injury. 31
