What I must concern to drive Ford CNG TC? Any hidden cost?
mrtn replied to toddy's topic in Work Solutions
But it's still tied to similar amount (or more) of CO2 pollution. -

Very quiet. Really quiet. Also, directionally stable. -
What extra things should be inspected when buying used Ford CNG TC van?
mrtn replied to toddy's topic in Work Solutions
Maybe rent a leak sniffer as you can't spray foam everywhere. -
Mine's just like that under the vinyl wrap. It's really intense blue.

Probably ultrasound. That's pretty common way. -

I have 81Mm (50K miles) on the odo. So 30K on the OEM Continentals. My tire guy said these Michelins have a ridiculous treadwear warranty and are very quiet, especially for snow rated ones. The injectors need cleaning. The DI engines don't have a LPG fuel filter so they tend to clog a bit causing a leak due to the injector not closing completely. The leak is big enough for propane to seep through but tight enough for gasoline to maintain pressure. You can't smell anything tho as the leak is isolated to fuel rail only and it happens in the first couple of seconds after turning the engine off. The fuel rail pressure drops from 55-60 bar (800-870 psi) to 12 bar (175 psi) in just a second and stays there. -

Mid-life update: LPG needs service again. There was some corrosion on a tank pump connector and power issues in the system. Turns out that the LPG tank and its control box is not actually meant to be outside of the body in the middle of mud and dirt. Also - injectors leaking again resulting in long cranking and occasional "fuel rail low pressure" when starting on LPG, need to have them cleaned. No issues on petrol. Summer tires are bald, hit the wear marks and hydroplaned a bit on Tuesday seeing the first serious rainfall while driving this year. Just ordered a new set of Michelin Cross Climates: -

"White van man" is a standalone term. There has to be a reason. -
Yes, it's just physics.

Debating between a 2014+ Transit Connect and Promaster City..

Which one of you is this? (killer channel btw)

Funny you should ask. I was informed later on by the dealer that the Berlingo they had offered me with barn doors actually didn't have them. Only available in the lowest trim level for LWB which was not an option for us. After consulting with my colleague actually driving this van we gave the liftgate a green light. So, dark gray metallic LWB coming up late August.

Check for play in rear wheel bearings.

I’m planning to add a glove box LED light (missing in my trim level), so I‘ll probably do the footwell lighting together with the glovebox. I actually did the glovebox lighting for my hobby car and swapped back the whole glove box when I sold it. So now I have the bits, including a magnetic switch. Thanks for the writeup, saves a few hours of investigations.

I have ordered another one today to replace the 2012 TC. It's a LWB variant, dark gray metallic. Will arrive late August.

Modyourconnect bits have been very popular in Europe and never read a negative review anywhere.
