Fuel Consumption - Ford TRANSIT 2017 Owner's Manual

1. Stop your vehicle as soon as safely
possible and shift the transmission into
park (P) or neutral (N).
2. Apply the parking brake and switch the
ignition off.
3. Fully open the fuel tank filler door until
it engages.
4. Check the fuel filler inlet and the area
around it for any items or debris that
may be obstructing its movement.
5. Insert a fuel pump nozzle or the fuel
filler funnel provided with your vehicle
in to the fuel tank filler pipe opening.
This action should dislodge any debris
that may be preventing the fuel filler
inlet from fully closing.
Note: If this action corrects the problem
the message may not reset immediately. If
the message remains and the service engine
soon warning lamp appears in the
information display, have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible.

FUEL CONSUMPTION

Empty reserve is the amount of fuel
remaining in the tank after the fuel gauge
indicates empty. The amount of usable
fuel in the empty reserve varies and should
not be relied upon to increase driving range.

Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during the
first 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this is
your engine's break-in period). A more
accurate measurement is obtained after
2,000 mi (3,200 km) to 3,000 mi
(4,800 km). Also, fuel expense, frequency
of fill ups or fuel gauge readings are not
accurate ways to measure fuel economy.

The usable capacity of the fuel tank is
the amount of fuel that you can add to
the fuel tank when the fuel gauge
indicates empty, before the first fuel
filler nozzle automatic shutoff event.
The advertised capacity is equal to the
volumetric difference between actual
fuel fill before the first fuel filler nozzle
automatic shutoff event and the fuel
quantity when the fuel gauge indicates
empty. See Capacities and
Specifications (page 281). It is the
usable capacity minus the empty
reserve.
Due to the empty reserve, you may be
able to add more fuel than the
advertised capacity of the fuel tank
when the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Turn the ignition off before fueling; an
inaccurate reading results if the engine
is left running.
Use the same fill rate
(low-medium-high) each time the tank
is filled.
Allow no more than one automatic
shut-off when refueling.
Fill the fuel tank completely and record
the initial odometer reading.
