2006 Ford Taurus Owners Manual

Maintenance and Specifications
Avoid getting fuel  liquid in your  eyes. If fuel is  splashed in the  eyes,
remove contact lenses  (if worn), flush  with water for 15  minutes and
seek medical attention.  Failure to seek  proper medical attention could
lead to permanent  injury.
Fuels can also  be harmful if  absorbed through the skin.  If fuel is
splashed on the  skin and/or clothing,  promptly remove contaminated
clothing and wash  skin thoroughly with  soap and water. Repeated  or
prolonged skin contact  with fuel liquid  or vapor causes skin  irritation.
Be particularly careful  if you are  taking “Antabuse” or other  forms of
disulfiram for the  treatment of alcoholism.  Breathing gasoline and/or
ethanol vapors, or  skin contact could  cause an adverse reaction.  In
sensitive individuals, serious  personal injury or  sickness may result. If
fuel is splashed  on the skin,  promptly wash skin thoroughly  with soap
and water. Consult  a physician immediately  if you experience an
adverse reaction.
FFV fuel tanks  may contain zero  to 85 percent ethanol.  Any fuel
blends containing gasoline  and ethanol should  be treated the same  as
“Fuel Ethanol ”.  To identify if  your vehicle is an  FFV, check your  VIN
or the label  on the inside  of your fuel filler  door. When checking  the
VIN look for  the engine type  identifier (8th character). If  your vehicle
is an FFV,  then the character  will be labeled as  a “2.”
Pure ethanol is  the alcohol which  is the intoxicating agent  in liquor, beer
and wine. It  is distilled from  the fermentation of plants  such as field  corn
and sugar cane.  When ethanol is  produced for use in  motor fuels, a  small
amount of gasoline  is added to  make it unfit for  beverage use. The
resulting ethanol blend  is called denatured  fuel ethanol meaning that  it is
denatured with 2%  to 5% gasoline  and is suitable for  automotive use.
During the summer  season, fuel ethanol  may contain a maximum  of 85%
denatured ethanol (Ed85)  and 15% unleaded  gasoline. The fuel ethanol
has a higher  octane rating than  unleaded regular or premium  gasoline
and this allows  the design of  engines with greater efficiency  and power.
Winter blends may  contain up to  75% denatured ethanol (Ed75)  and up
to 25% unleaded  gasoline to enhance  cold engine starts. Severely  cold
weather may require  additional measures for  reliable starting. Refer to
ColdWeatherStarting    in theDriving    chapter.
Ethanol is more  chemically active than  gasoline. It corrodes some  metals
and causes some  plastic and rubber  components to swell, break  down or
become brittle and  crack, especially when  mixed with gasoline. Special
materials and procedures  have been developed  for flexible fuel vehicles
and the dispensers  used by ethanol  fuel providers.
