3.2 Fuel System
WARNINGS:
Make sure that the modified vehicle
complies with all relevant legal
requirements.
Do not remove or relocate the fuel cooler
(if equipped) when modifying the vehicle.
CAUTIONS:
Ensure modifications to vehicle do not
obstruct airflow to fuel cooler.
Make sure that sufficient clearance is
maintained for all driving conditions to
all hot and moving components.
Make sure that there are no sharp edges,
including fasteners, pointing towards any
fuel system component.
The fuel filler pipe must be supported in
accordance with the guidelines in this
section.
Transport Mode includes a calibration
feature to reduce the risk of fuel injector
nozzle corrosion. Exiting Transportation
Mode prior to upfitting / conversion
increases the risk of early life injector
failure. Refer to your local Ford dealer or
national sales agent for information on
how to activate or deactivate transport
mode.
3.2.1 Fuel Filler Pipe Restraining
During Shipping
CAUTION: The vehicle must not be
operated with the fuel filler pipe in the
shipping condition.
The fuel filler pipe is secured to the frame bracket
on chassis cab vehicles using a cable tie for
shipping of the vehicle only.
3.2.2 Fuel Filler Mounting
CAUTIONS:
Make sure that the filler neck mounting
bracket is made of a conductive material,
and that it provides a grounding path for
the fuel filler neck.
The completed fuel filler pipe system
must provide a minimum 2.1 deg
continuous downward slope from fuel
filler cup to fuel tank and should have a
minimum entry angle of 30 degrees.
Routing of the fuel filler pipe must ensure
no contact with any exhaust components
or sharp edges.
No kinking of the fuel filler hose is
acceptable.
The filler neck entry center-point must be
at a minimum height of 250mm from Fuel
tank ICV center-point and have a
minimum entry angle of 30 degrees.
NOTE: Fasteners for attaching fuel filler pipe to
the vehicle body are not supplied by Ford.
NOTE: Routing of filler hose and vent hose must
not contain any sumps. Additional support may
be required to prevent hose sagging which could
create a sump. A sump in the pipe can cause spray
or spit-back during normal filling operations.
If the vehicle body and mounting bracket does not
provide a grounding path for the fuel filler neck, an
earth strap must be added, connecting the filler
neck to the chassis frame.
Do not extend the fuel filler system outboard of
the vehicle dimensions or the service body
dimensions.
NOTE: If vehicle is equipped with capless filler
pipe, and the capless system will not be located
inside a filler pocket on converted vehicle, it must
be changed to a threaded capped filler pipe
system as the capless filler must be protected
from dust and dirt. Refer to your national sales
agent for supply of a suitable component.
