INSTALLATION

NOTE:
^ Install new fuel system O-ring seals using approved O-ring seals only. O-ring seals that are approved for natural gas use are identified with a yellow stripe.
^ Lubricate the fuel system O-ring seals with Super Premium SAE 5W30 Motor Oil X0-5W30-QSP or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS-M2C153-6 or equivalent prior to installation to help seal and ease the installation.
^ When tightening the fuel lines, a torque wrench adapter must be used with the torque wrench. The use of a torque wrench adapter will alter the effective torque of the torque wrench being used. To correct the effective torque, a torque multiplication conversion must be used.
^ After installation is complete, carry out the Fuel System Leak Test procedure.
