Fuel quality
If you are experiencing starting, rough idle or hesitation
problems try a different brand of fuel. If the condition persists,
see your dealer or a qualified service technician.
The American Automobile Manufacturers Association (AAMA)
issued a gasoline specification to provide information on high
quality fuels that optimize the performance of your vehicle. We
recommend the use of gasolines that meet the AAMA
specification if they are available.
It should not be necessary to add any aftermarket products to
your fuel tank if you continue to use a high-quality fuel.
Cleaner Air
Ford approves the use of gasolines to improve air quality,
including reformulated gasolines that contain oxygenates such as
a maximum of 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE. There should be no
more than 5% methanol with cosolvents and additives to protect
the fuel system.
Reformulated fuel is also required in certain areas of the U.S.
These fuels are designed to further reduce the emissions from
your vehicle.
Generally, you should not experience difficulties operating your
vehicle on fuels containing oxygenates. We encourage you to
use these fuels.
