Fuel Tank
Capacity/Fuel Info
Fuel tank capacity varies on your Fusion,
depending on your drive type: 16.5 gallons
(62.5 liters) for front-wheel drive models
and 17.5 gallons (66.2 liters) for all-
wheel drive models. Use only UNLEADED
gasoline with an 87 octane rating. Do not
use ethanol (E85), diesel, fuel-methanol,
leaded fuel or any other fuel because
it could damage or impair the emission

Fuel-ecient
Automatic Transmission
*
Your vehicle has been designed to improve
fuel economy by reducing fuel usage
while coasting or decelerating. This may
be perceived as a light to medium braking
sensation when removing your foot from
the accelerator pedal.
Easy Fuel
®
System
With this system, you simply open the fuel
door, insert the nozzle and begin fueling.
It is self-sealing and therefore protected
against dust, dirt, water, snow and ice. Wait
10 seconds from the time the refueling
nozzle is shut-o until you remove the
nozzle from the vehicle to allow residual
fuel in the nozzle to drain into the tank.
Note When using a portable fuel
container, use the removable fuel funnel,
located behind the le rear seat, under
the carpet. To access, fold the seatback
down and pull back the piece of carpet.
Slowly insert the fuel funnel and pour the
fuel into the funnel. When done, clean the
funnel or properly dispose of it. Do not use
aermarket funnels as they will not work
with the Easy Fuel system and may cause
damage. Refer to the Refueling section
in the Fuel and Refueling chapter of your
Owner's Manual for additional information.
