STATEMENTS OF CONFORMITY
• The body installed by a subsequent stage manufacturer
and the Ford installed fuel system components are
located and mounted as follows:
– The body is mounted securely and is so designed
that when the completed vehicle is tested in any
manner specified by applicable provisions of
Standard 301,
(a) body components do not contact any fuel
system component at any time (other than at
the points where the fuel system is permanently
attached to the body), and,
(b) body deformation or movement relative to
the frame does not cause any fuel system
component to be penetrated, disconnected, or
otherwise damaged.
• The rear end of the body (excluding the rear bumper)
installed by a subsequent stage manufacturer does
not extend beyond (overhang) the rear edge of the
vehicle frame or frame extension. Any extension of the
vehicle frame must be constructed and attached so
as to perform as a continuation of the vehicle frame
when the completed vehicle is tested in any manner
specified by applicable provisions of Standard 301.
• The E-Series Basic (Stripped) Chassis aft-of-axle fuel
filler cap, pipe, hose(s), and attaching hardware are
installed as shown in Figure I, below. All components
must be securely retained to remain intact when the
completed vehicle is tested in any manner specified
by applicable provisions of Standard 301.
The Basic (Stripped) Chassis is equipped with a Fuel
Shutoff Switch. The switch is located on the column
support structure for E-Series and must not be relocated,
altered, or modified in any way.
