I am trying to find any information in regards to automobiles that have dual/alterative fuel systems. My vehicle has a propane tank in the trunk of the car, and runs on either gasoline or propane by flipping a switch located on the dashboard. My vehicle has had continual problems - cutting off while idiling. None of the local Ford dealers will work on the auto becuase they said they have no one trained on these type of fuel systems, and have no information on Ford having ever manufactured a vehicle with these type engine or fuel system.
Coolant overflow tank ' low level light' came on when there was sufficient level in the tank.
