Introduction Do not use paint drying ovens for propane-fueled vehicles. The heat of paint drying ovens will increase the pressure in the fuel tanks. This could cause venting of propane fuel vapor into the oven and result in a fire from the heat or sparks in the electrical equipment. If the fuel is confined inside an oven, an explosion may occur. When refinishing the body panels of a propane-fueled vehicle, use spot painting and drying methods. Failure to empty (vent) the CNG or propane fuel tank(s) and fuel lines prior to vehicle being placed in a "paint oven" may cause an overpressure condition within the fuel tanks that can be hazardous to personal safety and property. On F-Series Bi-fuel vehicles, do not modify or replace the cargo bed with any non-OEM components. Should the cargo bed need to be removed for service or replacement, it should be done at a qualified dealership using qualified service technicians. Do not sit, stand or place heavy loads on the in-bed fuel tank cover. Any cap added to the cargo bed on this vehicle must be vented to the outside (consult your local regulations). Failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in gas vapor build up over time, potentially resulting in a combustible mixture. VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION AND LABELING Your Bi-fuel vehicle has several labels to identify it as a CNG or LPG fueled vehicle (depending upon application) and to help identify areas of special attention. • It is important that you and others that operate your Bi-fuel vehicle identify the label locations and understand the information on the labels. • Specific labels are shown within this supplement when applicable. 6
