Introduction Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases consisting mostly of propane with smaller amounts of ethane and butane, which when under low pressure, are stored in a liquefied state. LPG is a clean burning fuel, making it a highly suitable fuel to meet automotive emission standards. Automotive grade LPG is typically referred to as HD-5 Propane (HD-10 Propane in California) and contains at least 90% propane. Use caution when servicing or maintaining any of the components of the LPG fuel system. Failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in gas vapor build up over time potentially resulting in a combustible mixture. Service to LPG fuel system components must be conducted only at qualified dealerships by qualified technicians. Failure to do so may cause damage to components or cause bodily harm. PRECAUTIONARY INFORMATION In certain localities, local authorities have established guidelines and regulations that directly affect the operation and storage of your Bi-fuel vehicle. These established guidelines and regulations include: • refueling. • underground parking. • operating your vehicle under bridges or in tunnels. More information on established guidelines and regulations are available from your qualified Ford dealership. Breathing hydrocarbon gases (CNG or LPG) or air which lacks oxygen due to the presence of hydrocarbon gases can result in headache, dizziness and weakness in the arms and legs. In severe cases, prolonged breathing of hydrocarbon gases can cause suffocation. In the event of illness due to inhaling hydrocarbon gases, immediately move the victim to fresh air and contact medical emergency personnel. 4

Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is a mixture of hydrocarbon gases
consisting mostly of propane with smaller amounts of ethane and butane,
which when under low pressure, are stored in a liquefied state.
LPG is a clean burning fuel, making it a highly suitable fuel to meet
automotive emission standards.
Automotive grade LPG is typically referred to as HD-5 Propane (HD-10
Propane in California) and contains at least 90% propane.
Use caution when servicing or maintaining any of the components of the
LPG fuel system. Failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in
gas vapor build up over time potentially resulting in a combustible
mixture.
Service to LPG fuel system components must be conducted only
at qualified dealerships by qualified technicians. Failure to do so
may cause damage to components or cause bodily harm.
PRECAUTIONARY INFORMATION
In certain localities, local authorities have established guidelines and
regulations that directly affect the operation and storage of your
Bi-fuel
vehicle.
These established guidelines and regulations include:
refueling.
underground parking.
operating your vehicle under bridges or in tunnels.
More information on established guidelines and regulations are available
from your qualified Ford dealership.
Breathing hydrocarbon gases (CNG or LPG) or air which lacks
oxygen due to the presence of hydrocarbon gases can result in
headache, dizziness and weakness in the arms and legs. In severe
cases, prolonged breathing of hydrocarbon gases can cause suffocation.
In the event of illness due to inhaling hydrocarbon gases, immediately
move the victim to fresh air and contact medical emergency personnel.
