E-450 Cutaway
1.Fuel rail sensors -An injection pressure sensor and an engine fuel
temperature sensor provide engine fuel information to the powertrain
control module.
2.Isolation solenoid valve -Blocks fuel flow from supply line to
injection manifold when the engine is off.
3.Engine -
A modified 5.4L gasoline engine with Sequential Electronic Fuel
Injection (SEFI), an improved valvetrain and a high compression ratio.
4.Powertrain control module -Uniquely calibrated for NGV application.
5.Extended range fuel tank -An optional steel fuel tank located in
the cargo area.
6.Sealed vent box -Dispenses natural gas vapor to atmosphere if
vapor becomes present.
7.Internal tank valve -One electronically actuated, normally closed
solenoid valve is located in each fuel tank. The valve is wired into the
vehicle’s inertia switch. If the engine cranks but does not start after a
collision, the fuel solenoid valve inertia switch may have been activated.
The inertia switch is a device intended to close the fuel solenoid valve
when your vehicle has been involved in a substantial jolt.
8.Stone shield(s) -Protective shield(s) to prevent damage to the fuel
tank(s) caused by road debris or other road hazards.

9.Aft axle fuel tanks -Two steel fuel tanks located behind the rear axle.
10.Midship fuel tank -A steel fuel tank located underbody.
11.High pressure fuel lines -Delivers high pressure fuel to the fuel
tanks and fuel pressure regulator.
12.Fuel pressure regulator/Coalescent fuel filter -Reduces fuel
pressure and removes impurities from the gas.
13.Low pressure fuel line -Supplies natural gas to the injectors.
14.AFV module -Contains the unique powertrain electronics that are
required for an NGV.

The inertia switch is a device intended to close the fuel solenoid valve
when your vehicle has been involved in a substantial jolt.
6.Standard fuel tanks -Two steel fuel tanks located in the bed of the
truck.
6b.In-bed tank cover -Cover to prevent damage to the fuel tanks.
Protective shield to prevent damage to the fuel tank caused by road
debris or other road hazards.Do not sit, stand or place heavy loads
on the fuel tank cover.
7.Stone shield -Protective shield to prevent damage to the fuel tank
caused by road debris or other road hazards.
8.Underbody fuel tank -A steel fuel tank located underbody.
9.High pressure fuel lines -Delivers high pressure fuel to the fuel
tanks and fuel pressure regulator.
10.Fuel pressure regulator/Coalescent fuel filter -Reduces fuel
pressure and removes impurities from the gas.
11.Low pressure fuel line -Supplies natural gas to the injectors.
12.AFV module -Contains the unique powertrain electronics that are
