Introduction Use caution when servicing or maintaining any of the components of your Gaseous Fuel Injection System. 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. Any modification to your Gaseous Fuel Injection System voids the Ford New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Do not use liquefied natural gas (LNG) or a CNG that is derived from a process such as flashing (heating LNG). Failure to use the correct type of fuel may cause damage to the engine and fuel system components. If the vehicle is involved in an accident or fire that damages any portion of the gaseous fuel injection system, the damaged components MUST be replaced and the complete system tested by a qualified service technician before the vehicle is operated again. If your Bi-fuel vehicle is to be painted, the CNG or propane fuel tank(s) and fuel lines must be emptied before the vehicle is placed in a heated room, known as a "paint oven", for the new paint to cure. These "paint ovens" typically operate at temperatures up to 60° C (140° F). The high temperatures in the "paint oven" could cause the fuel in the fuel tanks to expand, which may cause an overpressure condition within the fuel tanks that can be hazardous to personal safety and property. Contact your qualified Ford dealership for assistance. 5
