Are you trying to simulate bulk liquid PFP? If yes, follow the procedure
in the CGenFF paper (using a cubic box). Also, you're precariously close
to the experimental boiling point, and the force field's boiling point
could easily be a few degrees lower.
If you're trying to accomplish something else, please consult with your
advisor. I suspect fundamental flaws in the physics of what you're trying
to do.
