Cleaner air

Ford endorses the use of reformulated "cleaner-burning" gasolines to
improve air quality.

Running out of fuel

Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse
affect on powertrain components.

If you have run out of fuel:

• You may need to cycle the ignition from OFF to ON several times after
refueling, to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to
the engine.
• The
indicator may come on. For more information on the
"Service Engine Soon" indicator, refer to the Instrumentation
chapter.

Fuel Filter

For fuel filter replacement, see your dealer or a qualified service
technician. Refer to the scheduled maintenance guide for the appropriate
intervals for changing the fuel filter.
