The purpose of the inspection is to check for exterior damage to the
tank which would shorten its usable life span. This inspection should
only be done by qualified NGV Ford service technicians.
The expiration date for the tank replacement is stated on each tank label
See instructions on fuel container for inspection and service life.
Coalescent fuel filter assembly
Your vehicle is equipped with a coalescent fuel filter assembly. Its
primary function is to remove contaminants; oil and water carryover
moisture from the fuel and trap it in the filter bowl.
The coalescent filter bowl should be drained every 48,000 kilometers
(30,000 miles). Perform fuel system depressurization procedure (outlined
in Service Manual) before disassembling the filter to avoid fuel pressure
regulator damage. The filter element (FG-985) and housing O-ring seal
should also be replaced as specified in the Scheduled Maintenence
Guide.
Spark plugs
Replace spark plugs every 96,000 kilometers (60,000 miles) on E-Series
and F-150 Heritage models and every 60,000 km (36,000 miles) on
Crown Victoria models. Use recommended nickel-plated platinum spark
plugs with the Motorcraft part number AWSF-22FM1 (or equivalent) on
E-Series and F-150 Heritage models and spark plugs with the Motorcraft
part number AWSF-22FM (or equivalent) on Crown Victoria models.
