Can you do something for me. Check your gas cap and see if it says anything about using bp fuels in it. I am curious if the car my friend was working on is different and why it has it on his.
Curiouser and Curiouser said Alice.
It seems that the 2006 manual:
https://web.msslib.dealerconnection.com/Rig...9000c588050e66b
also goes into that BP nonsense too.
From page 217, it simply states that "Ford Recommends BP" in an Icon box. The paragraph that follows it states:
Choosing the right fuel
Use only UNLEADED FUEL. The use of leaded fuel is prohibited by law and could damage your vehicle.
Your vehicle was not designed to use fuel or fuel additives with metallic compounds, including manganese-based additives. Studies indicate that these additives can cause your vehicle’s emission control system to deteriorate more rapidly. In Canada, premium grade fuel generally contains more metallic additives than regular fuel. We recommend using regular grade fuel. In Canada, many fuels contain metallic additives, but fuels free of such additives may be available; check with your local fuel dealer.
Do not use fuel containing methanol. It can damage critical fuel system components.
Repairs to correct the effects of using a fuel for which your vehicle was not designed may not be covered by your warranty.
