If you are taking the medication ªAntabuseº or
other forms of disulfiram for the treatment of
alcoholism, vapor or skin contact with a
gasoline-methanol blend may cause the same
kind of adverse reaction as drinking an alcoholic
beverage. In sensitive individuals, serious
personal injury or sickness could result. Consult
a physician promptly if you experience an
adverse reaction.

Running Out of Fuel
[SV11325(ALL)08/95]
NOTE: Avoid running out of fuel because this
situation may have an adverse effect on
modern powertrain components.
[SV11350(ALL)08/95]
If your vehicle runs out of fuel, try to stop on
level ground away from traffic. The engine may
be restarted by adding at least one (1) gallon
(four liters) of fuel to the fuel tank. If the vehicle
is not level, up to three (3) gallons (12 liters) of
fuel may be required to start the engine.
*
[SV11550(ALL)07/95]
You may need to crank the engine several times
before the fuel system starts to pump fuel from
the tank to the engine.
*
[SV11580(ALL)01/95]
RWARNING
Never pour fuel in the throttle body or
attempt to start the engine with the air
cleaner removed. Doing so could result in
fire and personal injury.

Fuel Economy
*
[SV11700(ALL)07/95]
Fuel economy is an estimate of the efficiency of
your vehicle and can be calculated as Miles Per
Gallon (MPG) or Liters Per 100 Kilometers
(L/100K). Do not calculate the fuel economy
during your vehicle's break-in period. This
would not be an accurate estimate of how much
fuel your vehicle will normally use.

[SV45200(ALL)03/95]
NOTE: During extended periods of vehicle
storage (60 days or more), fuel may
deteriorate due to oxidation. This can
damage rubber and other polymers in
the fuel system and may also clog
small orifices.
*
[SV45300(ALL)01/95]
Ford Gas Stabilizer should be added whenever
actual or expected storage periods exceed 60
days. Follow the instructions on the label. The
vehicle should then be operated at idle speed to
circulate the additive throughout the fuel system.

A volatile corrosion inhibitor added to the fuel
system will protect the fuel system's inner
surfaces from corrosion. Follow the instructions
packaged with the product.
