Introduction Guidelines. Using a Ford vehicle without the Ford ambulance preparation package to produce an ambulance voids the Ford warranty and could result in elevated underbody temperatures, fuel overpressurization and the risk of fuel expulsion and fires. To determine whether the vehicle is equipped with the Ford ambulance preparation package, inspect the information plate on the driver's side door pillar. Contact the manufacturer of your vehicle to determine whether the ambulance manufacturer's followed Ford's recommendations. WARNINGS Throughout this guide, you will find warnings identified by the symbol . Warnings remind you to be especially careful to reduce the risk of personal injury. NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of new vehicle operation. Vary your speed to allow parts to adjust themselves to other parts. Drive your new vehicle at least 500 miles (800 km) before towing a trailer. Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils during the first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation, since these additives may prevent piston ring seating. See Engine oil in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter of this supplement for more information on oil usage. DIESEL ENGINE INFORMATION The Diesel engine fuel system consists of: • On F-Super Duty and Excursion vehicles, a frame-mounted Horizontal Fuel Conditioner Module (HFCM) • On E-Series vehicles, a Fuel Conditioner Module (FCM) mounted on the driver-side of the transmission case • an engine-mounted secondary fuel filter • a unit injector for each cylinder The FCM/HFCM acts as a primary fuel filter/water separator which removes both water and impurities from the fuel. The engine-mounted fuel filter and the FCM/HFCM filter should be changed at the recommended service interval.
