FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
CNG TRANSFER TUBING (CONNECTS FILL CONNECTOR, 3600 # CNG STORAGE CYLINDER, AND ENGINE SIDE OF FUEL SYSTEM TOGETHER) PASSES THROUGH THE FLOOR OF THE TRUCK BED AND HOLE IS SHIELDED WITH A RUBBER GROMMET. THE TUBING ON THIS AND OUR OTHER IDENTICAL TRUCK WERE FOUND TO BE CHAFING THROUGH THE GROMMETS DUE TO THE ANGLE AT WHICH THEY PASSED THROUGH THE RELATIVELY SMALL (1") HOLE IN THE BED. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH THIS WOULD HAVE CREATED A FAILURE IN THE TUBING IF LEFT ALONE. WE ADJUSTED THE ROTATION OF THE TUBING FITTINGS AND WE BELIEVE WE HAVE SOLVED THIS PROBLEM OURSELVES, BUT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THESE ARE FORD FACTORY INSTALLED GFI CNG SYSTEMS, WE THOUGHT WE SHOULD GENERATE SOME ACTION. WE ALSO HAVE THREE GFI AFTERMARKET CNG KITS THAT HAVE ALMOST THE SAME CONFIGURATION BUT THE FUEL LINE HOLE CUT INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE BED IS APPROXIMATELY 2" AND HAS A BOOT THAT CENTERS THE TUBING IN THAT HOLE. THIS APPEARS TO OFFER MUCH BETTER PROTECTION TO THE TUBING
