motor to overheat and cause damage. Wait 15 sec-
onds between each cranking cycle to allow starter
to cool down.
3) If the engine fails to start in two to three seconds
during engine cranking sequence, turn the key
back to the “Off” position and repeat the starting
procedure.
If the engine still does not start, check the fuel level.
If the gauge registers an adequate fuel level and the
engine still won't start, the vehicle may require ser-
vicing.
EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM PUMP
This vehicle utilizes an evaporative emissions system
that uses a pump. This pump will operate when the
vehicles engine has been shut off. This pump will
cycle frequently for up to 72 hours—this is normal.
FUEL
This vehicle is designed to operate on Liquefied Pe-
troleum Gas (LPG or Propane). Propane vehicles are
recognized for their contribution to lower emissions,
cleaner air, and lower operating costs.
High automotive grade propane is required and must
meet the following automotive standards for fuel
composition and quality:
• HD5 grade propane in the United States.
•
HD10 grade propane in California.
•
Grade 1 Propane in Canada.
Propane that does not meet or exceed the above
standards may decrease engine performance, dam-
age vital LPI® system components or emission con-
trols. Damage to components resulting from con-
tamination is NOT covered under warranty.
LPG is a colorless, odorless, highly flammable gas. A
distinctive odorant is added to LPG to alert anyone
nearby in the event of a leak. The odor smells similar
to sulfur or rotten eggs.
FILLING YOUR LPI® FUEL TANK
REFUELING STATION INFORMATION
A list of public and private LPG filling stations may be
found on the following government website:
http://www.afdc.energy.gov/locator/stations/
LPI® Engine systems use a fuel tank design different
from the traditional LPG engine systems. The LPI®
tank typically has a higher operating pressure than a
LPG Vapor system tank, resulting in a slower fill rate
than experienced with older LPG Systems.
While there are many places which sell LPG as an
engine fuel, it is recommended that you fill your LPG
powered vehicle at filling stations capable of filling
autogas vehicle tanks.
Note: Propane is a liquid fuel. Parking the vehicle
on an uneven surface during refueling could result
in the vehicle being over or under filled .
Before refueling you should familiarize yourself with
the location of the refueling connectors on your ve-
hicle. Unless you are trained and experienced with
filling your LPG fueled vehicle, consult a qualified
propane station operator.
The LPI® fuel tank equipped with both an 80% fixed
level gauge and an automatic OPD (Overfill Protec-
tion Device) in accordance with NFPA 58. The LPI®
system is designed to be filled safely and reliably
using only the OPD. Therefore the usage of the 80%
fixed liquid level valve is not required. There is a re-
quired annual verification of the 80% valve's accura-
cy. Take your vehicle to a certified LPI® service pro-
vider for annual OPD inspections.
PROPER REFUELING PROCEDURES
1) Park the vehicle on level ground to ensure that
the tank is properly filled.
2) Turn the engine off and set the parking break. Set
wheel chocks if required.
3) Ensure there are no open flames or ignition
sources.
4) Remove the refueling valve cap by turning the cap
counter clockwise. (Be sure to retain the cap for
replacement after filling.) Note: Replacement filler
valve caps can be obtained from CLEANFUEL USA
or a CLEANFUEL USA distributor. Part number:
VAX-0502-S
5) Inspect the fill valve O-ring.
Note: Make sure the O-ring is seated in the groove
and is not damaged or
missing.
Note: A new O-ring can be obtained from
CLEANFUEL USA or a CLEANFUEL USA distributor.
