- Do not modify the system configuration or components, or replace components with components not specifically designed for use with natural gas. Ford Motor Company has specifically designed the materials, components and system configuration for this vehicle, and each particular system is precisely calibrated for efficient operation. The use of different parts or materials can produce an untested configuration that can result in fire or personal injury or cause engine damage.
- Fuel supply lines are always pressurized. When servicing fuel-related components, do not smoke or carry lighted tobacco or an open flame of any type. Flammable mixtures may be present and can ignite, resulting in personal injury.
- The natural gas fuel system is always pressurized to 95 psi (655 kPa) downstream of the fuel pressure regulator and up to 3600 psi (24,821 kPa) upstream of the fuel pressure regulator. Use care when servicing the fuel system or personal injury can occur.
- The natural gas fuel supply manifold is pressurized to 95 psi (655 kPa). Fuel pressure must be relieved prior to any fuel system service.
- The fuel system pressure must be relieved before any component can be removed. The fuel tanks must be evacuated prior to tank removal. Removal of components without pressure relief or tank evacuation can cause natural gas to escape into the air and cause injury or death. Observe all fuel system precautions on any fuel system repair.
