3.2 Engine Cooling
3.2.1 Auxiliary Heater Systems
WARNINGS:
Ford coolant additives are
necessary for the complete function
of the system. Only use ford
approved or equivalent specification
component, to withstand any
detrimental effects on the materials.
Do not mount components in front
of the grille or in an area of air flow
around the engine, which could
affect the engine cooling.
CAUTIONS:
Only make connections into the
heater hose between the front cab
heater and water pump return inlet.
Do not exceed the vehicle's original
coolant volume by more than 10%
Only use the manufactures
recommended (or equivalent
specification) coolant
additives/anti-freeze. Do not mix
coolant types.
•Coolant flow to cab heater must have priority
over flow to auxiliary heater or hand wash
facility.
•Coolant tube routing must be below the base
of the degas bottle.
•Use aluminum or plastic tee junction with
swaged or beaded ends to prevent hose blow
off. Reconnect original coolant tube as shown
in view E74570 (in this section) with standard
Ford water hose clip or suitable equivalent
specification clip. Ensure interference fit
between hose and 'T' joint.
•Tube routing must be secured to the body
structure or suitable brackets avoiding
electrical components or wires, hot or moving
parts and brake or fuel system components
•Hose must be heat sleeved with appropriate
material if within 100mm of exhaust
components (for example, manifold or
exhaust gas recirculating).
•The vertical clearance between the critical
cooling components (radiator, fan shroud and
radiator brackets) and both the hood inner
and outer (assembly) panels at design position
shall not be less than 15mm.
•There shall be a minimum clearance of 7mm
between the engine assembly and flexible
components (for example, hoses or wiring
harnesses) affixed to front end sheet metal
hardware, under a maximum engine torque
roll condition.
NOTE: For further information please contact
your local National Sales Company
representative, or Local Ford Dealer. If they are
unable to help you then please contact the

3.2.2 Auxiliary Heater Installation
For an auxiliary heating system it must be ensured
that the exhaust gas of such a system cannot be
re-circulated into the vehicle. The exhaust gases
must not pass into the engine intake system or
the air intake for the passenger compartment
ventilation. The heating system should be installed
outside the passenger compartment. The
location of the heating system should not be in
close proximity to movable components. Any
body reworks which damage the paint must be
fully protected against corrosion.
Refer to: 5.10 Corrosion Prevention (page 221).
NOTE: The installation must be in line with the
appropriate legal requirements
3.2.3 Air Flow Restrictions
WARNING: Do not mount
components in front of the grille or
in an area of air flow around the
engine, which could affect the
engine cooling performance.
CAUTION: Over heating within the
engine compartment can seriously
compromise component robustness.
NOTE: For further information please contact
your local National Sales Company representative,
or Local Ford Dealer. If they are unable to help
you then please contact the Vehicle Converter
Advisory Service at [email protected].

3.8 Fuel System
WARNINGS:
Do not cut into the original fuel
supply lines
Make sure that the modified vehicle
complies with all relevant legal
requirements.
For auxiliary applications requiring a fuel supply,
it is advisable to use the auxiliary fuel supply port
as shown in the figure below.
•The auxiliary fuel supply port is mounted on
the top of the fuel sender unit located on the
top of the fuel tank, for applications such as
an auxiliary heater or fuel fired hand wash
facility.
•Ensure that a suitable fuel shut-off is fitted in
any unique system.
•Refit the Ford hose assembly from the fuel
pump to the fuel line.
•The tube and/or line must be routed
independently and secured to the body
structure or to suitable brackets.
CAUTION: Make sure that sufficient
clearance is maintained for all
driving conditions to all hot and
moving components.
NOTE: Do not fasten anything to existing
electrical components or wires

and Interface
WARNING: Do not tamper with, cut
into or connect to any of the
CAN-Bus interface wiring or
connectors. The addition of
unapproved CAN-Based modules
could impact the safe operation of
the vehicle.
