Ford 2000 F-150 Automobile User Manual


 
COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS (CNG) FUEL SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a dedicated compressed natural gas (CNG)
fuel system that is under high pressure.
Depending upon the application, the CNG fuel system is rated at a
pressure of 20 700 kPa (3 000 psi) at 21°C (70°F) or 24 800 kPa
(3 600 psi) at 21°C (70°F). Refer to the label on the fuel filler door to
determine the fuel system pressure rating.
Use caution when servicing or maintaining any of the components of the
CNG fuel system.
Service to high-pressure fuel system components must be
conducted only at qualified dealerships by qualified technicians.
Failure to do so may cause damage to components or cause bodily
harm.
On F-Series natural gas vehicles, do not modify or replace the bed
with any non-OEM components. Should the bed need to be removed for
service or replacement, it should be done by a qualified dealership using
qualified technicians. Do not sit, stand or place heavy loads on in-bed
tank cover. Any bed cap added to this vehicle must be well ventilated.
Failure to provide adequate ventilation could result in gas vapor build up
over time potentially resulting in a combustible mixture.
