Guidelines. Using a Ford vehicle without the Ford ambulance
preparation package to produce an ambulance voids the Ford warranty
and could result in elevated underbody temperatures, fuel
overpressurization and the risk of fuel expulsion and fires. To determine
whether the vehicle is equipped with the Ford ambulance preparation
package, inspect the information plate on the driver's side door pillar.
Contact the manufacturer of your vehicle to determine whether the
ambulance manufacturer's followed Ford's recommendations.
WARNINGS
Throughout this guide, you will find warnings identified by the
symbol . Warnings remind you to be especially careful to reduce the
risk of personal injury.
NEW VEHICLE BREAK-IN
Your vehicle does not need an extensive break-in. Try not to drive
continuously at the same speed for the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km) of
new vehicle operation. Vary your speed to allow parts to adjust
themselves to other parts.
Drive your new vehicle at least 500 miles (800 km) before towing a
trailer.
Do not add friction modifier compounds or special break-in oils during
the first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation, since these
additives may prevent piston ring seating. See Engine oil in the
Maintenance and Specifications chapter of this supplement for more
information on oil usage.
DIESEL ENGINE INFORMATION
The Diesel engine fuel system consists of:
• On F-Super Duty and Excursion vehicles, a frame-mounted
Horizontal Fuel Conditioner Module (HFCM)
• On E-Series vehicles, a Fuel Conditioner Module (FCM) mounted on
the driver-side of the transmission case
• an engine-mounted secondary fuel filter
• a unit injector for each cylinder
The FCM/HFCM acts as a primary fuel filter/water separator which
removes both water and impurities from the fuel. The engine-mounted
fuel filter and the FCM/HFCM filter should be changed at the
recommended service interval. Refer to the scheduled maintenance
information in this supplement for more information.
