I just bought a 2001 CNG/Gas F-150. The dealership (Honda) didn't even know it was CNG, they sold it listed as a duel tank- It has the "N" on the title in the fuel block. No CNG sticker on the back but you would think they check this kind of stuff.
The problem... When I switch to alt fuel I get no indication. I did some checking under the hood and found a blown 5A fuse by the battery. I replaced the fuse. When I started the truck the RPM's went up about 200, that remains constant until I remove the fuse or turn the truck off. When I turn it back on the idle is normal, if I remove the fuse and put it back in the idle increases. The fuse isn't blowing, at least not yet.
I know almost nothing about CNG other than it makes sense. I am mechanically inclined but have never worked on these systems. Some of the questions I have:
How do I know if my tank is empty, short of finding a purge valve?
Where can I find wiring/installation documents?
Does anyone recommend a repair center in San Diego?
Do I qualify for any of the "tax breaks" being that the vehicle is used?
Any help and/or starting points are appreciated.
