Cleaner air
Ford endorses the use of reformulated“cleaner-burning”gasolines to
improve air quality.
Running out of fuel
Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse
affect 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.
•Your“Service Engine Soon”indicator may come on. For more
information on the“Service Engine Soon”indicator, refer to the
Instrument clusterchapter.
Fuel filter replacement
The fuel filter assembly is located inside the driver side frame rail, near
the transmission.
The fuel filter should be replaced every 24 000 km (15 000 miles).
Removal
If the fuel filter is being serviced with the rear of the vehicle
higher than the front, or if the fuel tank is pressurized, fuel
leakage or siphoning from the tank fuel tubes could occur. To prevent
this condition, maintain the vehicle front end at or above the level of
the rear of the vehicle.
Do not smoke or carry lighted tobacco or open flame of any type
when working on or near any fuel related component. Highly
flammable mixtures are always present and may be ignited, resulting in
possible personal injury.
Fuel in the fuel system remains under high pressure even when
the engine is not running. Before servicing or disconnecting any
of the fuel lines or fuel system components, the fuel system pressure
must be relieved in order to prevent accidental spraying of fuel,
causing personal injury or a fire hazard.
