Refueling - Ford Ecosport 2013 Owner's Manual

• You may need to cycle the ignition from
off to on several times after refuelling
to allow the fuel system to pump the
fuel from the tank to the engine. On
restarting, cranking time will take a few
seconds longer than normal. With
keyless ignition, just start the engine.
Crank time will be longer than usual.
• Normally, adding 3.8 litres of fuel is
enough to restart the engine. If your
vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep
grade, more than 3.8 litres may be
required.
Refilling with a Portable Fuel
Container
WARNING
Do not pump fuel into an
ungrounded fuel container, as the
static electricity produced during the
flow of petrol through the nozzle may
cause fire.
To avoid static build up:
• Place the approved fuel container on
the ground.
• Do not fill the container whilst in the
vehicle or utility tray.
• Keep the nozzle in contact with the fuel
container whilst filling.

REFUELING

WARNINGS
Do not attempt to start the engine if
you have filled the fuel tank with the
incorrect fuel. This could damage the
engine. Have the system checked
immediately by a Ford Dealer.
Do not use any kind of flames or heat
near the fuel system. The fuel system
is under pressure. There is a risk of
injury if the fuel system is leaking.

Fuel and Refueling
less than 20 centimeters.
Note: Flex fuel vehicles can be fueled with
gasoline, ethanol or a mixture of both.
If you are refueling with a different fuel
than that used previously, we recommend
that you drive the vehicle immediately after
refueling for at least 10 minutes. This is
necessary because the engine control
module needs to adapt itself to the fuel
present in the tank. This procedure is
especially important when the fuel level
gauge indicates less than half before
refueling.
If your vehicle stopped due to lack of fuel
(empty tank) you should refuel preferably
with gasoline.

style design, with two to three turns on or
