Fuel and Refueling 177 RUNNING OUT OF FUEL Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse effect on powertrain components. If you have run out of fuel: • You may need to cycle the ignition from off to on several times after refueling to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to the engine. On restarting, cranking time will take a few seconds longer than normal. • Normally, adding 1 gallon (3.8L) of fuel is enough to restart the engine. If the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than 1 gallon (3.8L) may be required. • The service engine soon indicator may come on. For more information on the service engine soon indicator, refer to the Instrument Cluster chapter. See Settings in the Instrument Cluster chapter for information on calculating DTE (Distance to empty). Refilling With a Portable Fuel Container WARNING: Do not insert the nozzle of portable fuel containers or aftermarket funnels into the Easy Fuel® system. This could damage the fuel system and its seal, and may cause fuel to run onto the ground instead of filling the tank, which could result in serious personal injury. WARNING: Do not try to pry open or push open the Easy Fuel® system with foreign objects. This could damage the fuel system and its seal and cause injury to you or others. With the Easy Fuel® "no cap" fuel system, use the following directions when filling from a portable fuel container: When filling the vehicle's fuel tank from a portable fuel container, use the funnel included with the vehicle. 2014 Expedition (exd) Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, June 2013 USA (fus)
