WARNING:

Do not modify the system configuration or components or install new 
components with parts not specially designed for use with natural gas. 
Ford motor company has specially designed the materials, components 
and system configuration for the 5.4L natural gas vehicle, and each 
particular system is precisely calibrated for efficient operation. The use of 
different parts or materials can produce an untested configuration that

Ford natural gas trained personnel. If a concern occurs, it is important 
that correctly trained personnel diagnose the cause. If the problem relates 
to the fuel system, correct new part installation is imperative to keep your 
vehicle operating at normal performance. Natural gas components and 
gasoline fuel components are not interchangeable. If your vehicle is not 
repaired in accordance with natural gas-fueled vehicle procedures, 
damage can occur and your warranty may be invalidated.

All standard production components and systems receive routine repairs under
