The motor home engine can be accessed for service from inside the motor home. The engine cover between
the driver and passenger seats can be removed.
When reinstalling the engine cover, make sure that it is seated correctly without obstruction from carpet, floor
mats, etc.
FUELING THE MOTOR HOME
Be extremely careful when fueling the motor home. Always shut off the engine, do not smoke, or use cellular
phones and shut off all pilot lights before adding fuel. Fuel spills represent a serious fire hazard, and should be
cleaned up immediately. Never restart the engine, or relight pilot lights while raw fuel is present. When weather
gets cold or the motor home has not been used for a while, a fuel anti-gel additive will be needed.
For your convenience there may be two fuel fills on the motor home. If so equipped, they are located on both
sides of the motor home, towards the front of the unit. This allows access into filling stations from either side
of the motor home.
Note: If you should lose your fuel cap, it should be replaced as soon as possible, with a
cap of the same type.
Note: Always remove the fuel cap slowly and pay close attention to the fuel
recommendations outlined in the chassis literature.
Ford Fuel Pump Collision Shut-off Switch
If your motor home is involved in a collision, it is possible that an inertia switch in the fuel pump circuit will open,
shutting down the flow of fuel to the engine. This is a safety feature designed to help keep raw fuel from spilling
out and creating additional danger. When this inertia switch has been tripped, it is necessary to manually reset
it before the motor home can be restarted and moved. Review your chassis owner’s manual for the location
of the switch and instructions for resetting.
