It should not be necessary to add any aftermarket products to your fuel

tank if you continue to use high quality fuel of the recommended octane

rating. Aftermarket products could cause damage to the fuel system.

Repairs to correct the effects of using an aftermarket product in your

fuel may not be covered by your warranty.

Unleaded Gasoline engines

If you are experiencing starting, rough idle or hesitation driveability

problems during a cold start, try a different brand of “Regular” unleaded

gasoline. “Premium” unleaded gasoline is not recommended (particularly

in the United States) because it may cause these problems to become

more pronounced. If the problems persist, see your dealer or a qualified

service technician.

FFV engine (if equipped)

Your FFV will operate well on ordinary “Regular” unleaded gasoline, but

only the highest quality fuel ethanol will provide the same level of

protection and performance. To identify if your vehicle is an FFV, check

your VIN or the label on the inside of your fuel filler door. When

checking the VIN, look for the engine type identifier (8th character). If

your vehicle is an FFV, then the character will be labeled as a “K.”

Standards for fuel ethanol have been developed to provide FFVs the best

possible performance, safety and durability. To assist alcohol fuel

providers in meeting these standards, guidelines have also been

developed which prescribe “Ethanol Fuel Compatible” dispensing station

equipment. These standards and guidelines can be obtained from Ford

Motor Company. Fuel stations may apply to be certified as meeting these

standards. However, not all stations meet these standards at this time. To

ensure proper operation of your FFV on fuel ethanol, refuel at certified

stations.

If you are experiencing a rough or rolling idle after start-up with the

outside temperature above 27° C (80° F), the idle should improve within

10 to 30 seconds. If the problems persist below this temperature, see

your dealer or a qualified service technician.

Cleaner air

Ford endorses the use of reformulated “cleaner-burning” gasolines to

improve air quality.
