The flow of fuel through a fuel pump nozzle can produce static

electricity, which can cause a fire if fuel is pumped into an

ungrounded fuel container.

Use the following guidelines to avoid static build-up when filling an

ungrounded fuel container:

• Place approved fuel container on the ground.

• DO NOT fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle (including the

cargo area).

• Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while

filling.

• DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill

position.

Fuel Filler Cap

Your fuel tank filler cap has an indexed design with a 1/8 turn on/off

feature.

When fueling your vehicle:

1. Turn the engine off.

2. Carefully turn the filler cap counterclockwise 1/8 of a turn until it

stops.

3. Pull to remove the cap from the fuel filler pipe.

4. To install the cap, align the tabs on the cap with the notches on the

filler pipe.

5. Turn the filler cap clockwise 1/8 of a turn until it stops.

After refueling, if the “CHECK FUEL CAP”

indicator comes on and

stays on when you start the engine, the fuel filler cap may not be

properly installed. Turn off the engine, remove the fuel filler cap, align

the cap properly and reinstall it securely. The

indicator should turn

off after three driving cycles with the fuel filler cap properly installed. A

driving cycle consists of a cold engine start-up followed by mixed

city/highway driving.

If you must replace the fuel filler cap, replace it with a fuel filler

cap that is designed for your vehicle. The customer warranty may

be void for any damage to the fuel tank or fuel system if the

correct genuine Ford or Motorcraft fuel filler cap is not used.
