Subject: Re: Propane Power. Hi Tim, Yeah, it is the same thing and you can do what you are thinking. However, you should check your local ordinances, some cities or towns won't let you keep a bulk tank in your back yard. Most places also want you to pay road tax if you run your propane vehicle on the road. Let your conscious be your guide.

I'd like to retrofit my 1993 F-150 with the 351 so that the gauge would serve as more than an on/off reading. However, I got stumped when trying to pull the dash unit...so I couldn't reach the resistor. The Chilton's manual I have doesn't say anything helpful about pulling the dash unit. Would someone who knows how to pull the dash in this series post a step-by-step "how-to", please? (Of course, my next question will be which sending unit to use...) Thanks in advance, friends...

Subject: More on Fuel Pump related Code Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 10:39:42 -0500 Hey all. I desparately need some help here. Found out yesterday that fuel pumps for F150 trucks are not cheap. $250 a piece at your trusty local Ford dealer or $126 for front and $132 for rear thru Auto Zone. Needless to say, I will opt for the latter and do this myself. However, I don't just want to jump into this without being for sure that is my problem. I've sent out a few e-mails in the last week or two explaining my symptoms and received a few responses only to find out there are others with similar problems. The symptoms were loss of power and added fuel consumption. Eventually, as truck heated up, symptoms only got worse and truck seemed to shake badly when accelerating (especially uphill.....this is where loss of power was at it's worst). I replaced all the obvious parts for a tune-up only to find out nothing fixed the problem. Then ran codes this weekend and received the 542 continuous code which stated "Fuel Pump circuit failure - PCM to GRD". I've since found another definition that states "Fuel pump open, bad ground or always on - - Power / Fuel Pump Circuits". Does anybody have experience with this? I need to get this fixed, but am very hesitant to just fork out $250 only to find out it's not the problem. Are the symptoms specified definitely related to the fuel pump? Or is it something in-line with the fuel pump that needs replaced? Has anyone else received the same code and been able to fix the problem? I haven't driven my truck but once in the last week and am very anxious to get back into it. Thanks in advance!!!!

Subject: Re: Backyard Propane Fill Stations... Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 10:35:25 -0600 Tim asked; Hi Fred, Just to clarify: is this the same propane you fill your RV cannisters with? Could I get a few-hundred-gallon tank set up in my backyard, have it filled at a bulk rate, and use it to fuel a propane vehicle? That would be a major convenience right there. Fred replied; Hi Tim, Its the same propane, same stuff. Most of the times when I fill my motor fuel tank, there are at least 3-4 people fill BBQ bottles and someone asks the question; " you mean your truck runs on BBQ fuel?..." My standard reply is;" Sure why not? It goes BOOM also." In a couple of emergency situations, I have filled off our residential tank (we live out in the sticks). But as Mike in Montana correctly mentioned, it takes a while. BTW, its not legal in most states because you need some certification allowing you to handle the fuel. And most states don't test you for common sense. All you are doing is balancing pressures of the two tanks, so the one you want to fill will have to have much less pressure than the one you are trying to fill. You will never be able to actually empty one tank into the other, only drop its pressure. I have also gone the other way around where we ran out of propane for the house, but had plenty in the truck's tank.

Subject: Re: More on Fuel Pump related Code Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 12:24:15 -0500 I know. I know. More on fuel pump? Sorry all. I just have to ask one more question. I found something on the Web at lunch that stated "My car stumbles/misses when accelerating. Is there a fix?". Typical answers were spark plugs, wires, etc. But the one that caught my eye was this "Other possible causes include a bad battery connection (or bad battery), leading to poor power to the fuel pump". Aha! I am on the last leg of my battery and was planning on changing prior to winter. Noticed Saturday morning that truck didn't want to start right away as it was 35 degrees outside. Still have original battery and truck was built in Oct. 93. Could this be it? Could the battery not have enough juice to supply the nessecary voltage to the fuel pump when accelerating? Like I said in an earlier e-mail, it seems to run better at first, but gets worse as truck heats up. Seems best at speeds under 30 MPH. Once 32 MPH gets hit, engine starts shaking. Regardless, battery is getting replaced tomorrow. Maybe I can save a couple hundred dollars. Maybe it's too late. Don't know. Will post my findings....

Subject: Re: More on Fuel Pump related Code Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 11:47:52 -0600 Once you get the engine going, you shouldn't need the battery at all, at least in my experience. You should be able to actually disconnect the battery with the engine running and it should stay going. It would probably be an easy experiment to disconnect the battery once it's running and see what happens. I may be all wet though, because this experience is not Ford based, so you should see if anyone says it would cause problems first.

Subject: Re: speedometer calibration Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 11:12:57 -0700 Even using P-metric sized tires, you can use any size rim you want and it will not affect the speedo. It's the size of the tire that will affect the speedo. And yes changing from a 265/75 R15 to a 265/75 R16 will change the speedo but not because of the different rim, but because the 265/75 R16 is an inch taller than the 265/75 R15 Josh -----Original Message----- From: Terence Underwood [mailto:terenceu1 prodigy.net]

Subject: Re: More on Fuel Pump related Code Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 13:33:24 -0500 Craig I'm not sure on the code but before I went and spent the money on a new fuel pump I would check it by connecting a mechanical pressure gauge to the fuel rail. It has a connection on it that looks like a valve stem on a tire. When I did this I didn't have anything that would screw on the connection so I removed the stem with a regular valve stem tool and slid a piece of 1/4" rubber fuel line on the fitting and held it on with a small hose clamp. Make sure the hose will hold the pressure (can't remember exactly what pressure you should see but it seems like it was around 70 PSI I'm at work and don't have a manual to look it up) I ran the line through the fire wall and connected it to a pressure gauge so I could check it when running down the road. If you do find that your fuel pressure is not in spec remember that there is also a pressure regulator that works off of engine vacuum to vary the fuel pressure I have heard of these going bad although I have never had any problems with them and of course don't forget the fuel filter although I think you said you changed it in a previous message. I assume your having this problem with both tanks which leads me to believe it's not the pumps, it would be unlikely that both pumps went bad at the same time if this is true I would look closely at the rest of the fuel pump electrical circuit that the two tanks have in common.

Subject: Re: speedometer calibration Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 13:59:23 -0700 That's exactly what I said in an earliear post----I simply said that the rim size has nothing to do with the speedo being off.....It is strickly due to the tire size. If he kept the same OD tire he has nothing to worry about. If he increased his tire size or decreased his tire size (w/o chaging speedo or rear end ratio) then his speedo WILL be off.

That's the point...he went from a 265/75/15 to a 265/75/16 Same tire size, larger wheel. Tire size (O.D.)before was 30.95 and tire size (O.D.) after is 31.95 which is one inch larger in diameter. Therefore his speedo is no different than before.... However, if he went with, say, a 235/75/16 then his O.D. will be in the neighborhood of 29.875". about an inch LESS than the 265/75/15's. A 265/55/16 would probably be about the same as the original size tire. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 14:42:12 -0700 From: Chuck Sanborn <slammer deltanet.com>

Subject: Re: speedometer calibration Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 14:49:10 -0700 A 265/75/15 is NOT the same size tire as a 265/75/16. A 265/75/15 is 10.4" wide and 30.65" tall A 265/75/16 is 10.4" wide and 31.65" tall How can you say these are the same size tire? If these tires used the floation type measurement it would be much more obvious they are different. one would be a 31.5X10.5 R15 the other would be a 30.5X10.5 R16 BTW if he wanted the same size tire just 16" rim it would be a P265/70 R16 Josh -----Original Message----- From: Chuck Sanborn [mailto:slammer deltanet.com]
