Property of ICOM North America
Property of ICOM North America First: Propane can reduce emissions by up to 60% & ZERO Particular matter Second: The USA and CANADA have abundant Propane and Natural Gas Resources! Third: NO WARS!!! Energy Security Fleets can often dramatically reduce their fuel costs by using propane autogas! $$$savings$$$ $$$ Substantial fuel cost savings as compared to gasoline or diesel Reduce emissions of toxins by up to 30-90% compared to gasoline Domestic – Propane is produced in North America, with large reserves in the U.S. and Canada $$$ Lower maintenance cost Greenhouse gas emissions are reduced approximately 20% Maintains the torque, horsepower, and drivability you would feel in a gasoline vehicle Courtesy of PERC For some more information on propane please visit the U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy website or contact your local American Lung Association office. What is Propane? Propane is liquefied petroleum gas that consists of propane, propylene, butane, and butylenes in various mixtures. In the United States, propane is the primary ingredient. Propane is a by-product of natural gas processing and petroleum refining and it is stored under moderate pressure to maintain its liquid state. Why is Propane a Clean Air Choice? Propane vehicles produce less tailpipe emissions of virtually all pollutants associated with automobile vehicles that use gasoline or diesel. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a typical four-horsepower gasoline lawnmower engines generates almost six times as much volatile organic compound (VOCs) per hour of use as a typical car. Converting small utility engines such as lawnmowers to burn propane can reduce emissions of ozone precursors by one third and increase fuel economy by 14 percent. -

Cyclone 3.5 L Ecoboost, 3.5 Duratech and 3.7 L Ti-VCT V6 Engine
Cyclone 3.5L EcoBoost, 3.5 Duratech and 3.7L Ti-VCT V6 Engine Tech All 3 variants use the same forged crankshaft with 3.413” stroke. The difference is the bore, 3.64” for the 3.5/EcoBoost and 3.76” for the 3.7L version. The blocks are cast aluminum with floating cylinder walls and cast iron liners. They ap- pear to use the same block but we have not confirmed this yet. We’re interested to learn if the blocks use the same bell- housing pattern or are interchangeable between FWD, AWD and RWD applications. That was not the case with the 3.8 which used different FWD and RWD versions with the main difference being the bellhousing bolt patterns. Seems that just about all of the parts now use a QR symbol. All use the same powder metal connecting rod which includes a bushing on the pin end for a floating pin. The rod is shot peened for improved fatigue strength, has a decent cross-section and uses cap screws instead of through bolts. The rod shown on the left is a 96-04 3.8/4.2 powder metal rod, the Cyclone rod in the center and one of our favorite 351W forged I-beam rods on the right. Notice how the cross section of the Cyclone rod appears to be more like the 351W I-beam than the 3.8/4.2 rod which was much to weak for high perfor- mance applications. Only time, boost and nitrous will determine the durability and strength of the Cyclone rod, but since the EcoBoost engine has already been proven to provide exceptional durability in the 365-400 HP range with Ford’s factory tuning expertise, we can expect adequate durability at power levels around 500 HP or so with upper rev limits at 6500-7000 or so as long as the tuning is on the money without detonation. -

FUEL SYSTEM Misdiagnosis
6810 Misdiagnosis Flyer 2/1/11 1:53 PM Page 1 TM AIRTEX Product Information Sheet FUEL SYSTEM Misdiagnosis Airtex fuel pumps are 100% tested before they leave the factory. That’s why it’s a good idea to check out everything else first before suspecting the fuel pump. In fact, 50% of all fuel pumps returned for warranty consideration meet all manufacturer’s specifications when tested. Nearly 75% of all aftermarket fuel pump failures are caused by: – Misdiagnosis – Vehicle related electrical wiring or connector issues – Contaminated vehicle fuel systems Misdiagnosis Misdiagnosis is the leading cause of fuel pump returns. If the engine runs but displays driveability symptoms that you suspect are fuel- related (hard starting, hesitation, misfiring, power loss), first attempt to eliminate other possible causes of the problem. Make sure the engine is in good mechanical condition. An engine may not start or run properly for many reasons. BE SURE TO CHECK: • Fuel in the vehicle tank is adequate (add 2 to 3 gallons as needed). • Fuel is fresh and of good quality. • Fuel system has no leaks. • Fuel filter has been replaced. • Fuel delivery electrical system checks OK. • Engine mechanical systems check OK. • Engine electrical system checks OK. • Ignition system checks OK. • Charging system checks OK. • Battery voltage is at least 12.4 volts. • Cranking voltage at the starter is at least 9.6 volts. • Inertia switch is reset (typical of Ford applications). • Oil pressure and RPM signals are present (various applications). THE MOST COMMON REASONS FOR REPEAT FUEL PUMP FAILURE ARE: • Misdiagnosis: Pump is OK, fault lies elsewhere! • Not measuring fuel volume. -
