sensor FORD E SERIES 2000 4.G Natural Gas Vehicle Supplement Manual

Econoline Van
1.Fuel rail sensors-An injection pressure sensor and an engine fuel
temperature sensor provide engine fuel information to the powertrain
control module.
2.Isolation solenoid valve-Blocks flow from supply line to injection
manifold when the engine is off.
3.Engine-A modified 5.4L gasoline engine with Sequential Electronic
Fuel Injection (SEFI) and an improved valvetrain.
4.Powertrain control module-Uniquely calibrated for NGV
application.
5.Extended range fuel tank-An optional steel fiberglass reinforced
fuel tank located in the cargo area.
6.Sealed vent box-Dispenses natural gas vapor to atmosphere if vapor
becomes present.
7.Internal tank valve-One electronically actuated, normally closed
solenoid valve is located in each fuel tank. The valve is wired into the
vehicle's inertia switch. If the engine cranks but does not start after a
collision, the fuel solenoid valve inertia switch may have been activated.
The inertia switch is a device intended to close the fuel solenoid valve
when your vehicle has been involved in a substantial jolt.

Crown Victoria
1.NGV module-Provides power for the fuel injectors. Also, drives the
fuel gauge using fuel tank pressure and temperature sensors.
2.Isolation solenoid valve-Blocks flow from the injection manifold
when the engine is off.
3.Engine-Is a modified 4.6L engine with Sequential Electronic Fuel
Injection (SEFI) and increased compression ratio.
4.Engine coolant lines-Provide required heat to high pressure
regulator.
5.Powertrain control module-Required for NGV application.
6.Sealed vent box-Vented to underbody. Dispenses natural gas vapor
to atmosphere if vapor becomes present.
7.Tank pressure sensor-Fuel tank pressure sensor located in this
tank's solenoid valve is used for fuel indication.
8.Solenoid tank valves-One solenoid per tank. Internal valves with
shut-off solenoids wired into inertia circuit for crash protection.
9.Two fuel tanks-Located in the trunk. On taxi or police vehicles, an
extended range fuel system is available which includes two additional NG
fuel tanks mounted in the trunk (total of four).
10.Fueling point-Fueling receptacle is conveniently located with the
fuel door. Same location as gasoline fueled vehicles.
11.Tank temperature sensors-One each in set of tanks (solenoid
valves) used for fuel indication.

12.Two fuel tanks-Located underbody to facilitate fuel system design.
13.Stone and heat shield-Protective shield able to prevent damage to
the fuel tanks caused by road debris or other road hazards.
14.High pressure fuel lines-Delivers high pressure fuel to the
pressure regulator.
15.Pressure regulator and fuel filter assembly-Reduces the fuel
pressure to the fuel injection pressure of 125 psi.
16.Quarter turn valve-Isolates the fuel tanks from the rest of the fuel
system.
17.Low pressure fuel lines-Supplies 125 psi of natural gas to the
engine.
18.Fuel rail sensors-One injection pressure sensor and two engine
fuel temperature sensors provide engine fuel information to the PCM.
ADAPTERS
DO NOTuse fuel receptacle adapters when refueling your vehicle.
The profiles of both the natural gas vehicle receptacle and the fuel
station nozzles are specified by ANSI/AGA NGV1-1994, CGA NGV1-M94.
These profiles are specified for compressed natural gas vehicles and fuel
stations for safety purposes. Three separate adapter profiles are
available. P24, P30 and P36 respectively, are specified for the three
different service pressures of 16 500 kPa (2 400 psi), 20 700 kPa
(3 000 psi) and 24 800 kPa (3 600 psi).
Your vehicle's service pressure may be 20 700 kPa (3 000 psi) or
24 800 kPa (3 600 psi), depending upon application. Refer to the label
on the fuel filler door:
²If your vehicle's fuel system is rated at 20 700 kPa (3 000 psi), it can
be refueled using a P30 or P24 nozzle. However, use of a P24 nozzle
will result in an incomplete fill.
²If your vehicle's fuel system is rated at 24 800 kPa (3 600 psi), it is
refueled using a P36 nozzle only.
DO NOT over pressurize the CNG fuel system or damage to the
fuel system and possible personal injury may occur.
