Refueling - Diesel
WARNING:
Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island.
WARNING:
Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump unattended when refueling your vehicle.
WARNING:
Keep children away from the fuel pump. Never let children pump fuel.
WARNING:
Wait at least five seconds before removing the fuel pump nozzle to allow any residual fuel to drain into the fuel tank.
WARNING:
Do not remove the fuel pump nozzle from its fully inserted position when refueling.
WARNING:
When refueling always shut the engine off and never allow sparks or open flames near the fuel tank filler valve. Never smoke or use a cell phone while refueling. Fuel vapor is extremely hazardous under certain conditions. Avoid inhaling excess fumes.
WARNING:
Stop refueling after the fuel pump nozzle automatically shuts off for the second time. Failure to follow this will fill the expansion space in the fuel tank and could lead to fuel overflowing.
WARNING:
The fuel system may be under pressure. If you hear a hissing sound near the fuel filler inlet, do not refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may spray out, which could cause serious personal injury. |
Note:
If you must replace the fuel filler cap, replace it with a fuel filler cap designed for your vehicle. The vehicle warranty may be void for any damage to the fuel tank or fuel system if you do not use the correct genuine Ford or Motorcraft® fuel filler cap.
Fueling Tips
If air is allowed to enter the fuel system the engine automatically purges any trapped air.To purge the air sooner: prior to engine start, prime the system by turning the key to on for 30 seconds then to off.Repeat this several times.The engine may run rough and produce white smoke while air is in the system. This is normal.
Use only clean, approved containers that prevent the entry of dirt or water whenever you store diesel fuel.
Diesel fuel must not be stored in a galvanized container. The fuel can dissolve the zinc in the galvanized container. The zinc then remains in the fuel. If you run the contaminated fuel through the engine, the zinc can deposit in the fuel injectors causing expensive-to-repair damage.
Diesel fuel dispensing nozzle fill rate
Your vehicle has a fuel fill pipe that is able to accept fuel up to
20 gal (76 L) per minute from a
1.2 in (30 mm) fuel-dispensing nozzle. Pumping fuel at greater flow rates may result in premature nozzle shut-off or spit back.
Truck stops have pumps and nozzles designed for larger, heavy-duty trucks. When refueling at truck stops: if the nozzle shuts off repeatedly when refueling, wait 5–10 seconds; then use a slower rate of flow, do not depress the nozzle trigger as far.
Refueling
When fueling your vehicle do the following:
- Fully open the fuel tank filler door and remove the fuel tank filler cap. Carefully turn the filler cap counterclockwise until it spins off.
- Insert the fuel pump nozzle up to the first notch on the nozzle A.Keep it resting on the cover of the fuel tank filler pipe opening.
- Hold the fuel pump nozzle in the lower position B when refueling. Holding the fuel pump nozzle in the higher position A may affect the flow of fuel and shut off the fuel pump nozzle before the fuel tank is full.
- When the pump shuts off, wait 5 seconds, then raise the fuel pump nozzle and slowly remove it.
- Replace the fuel tank filler cap and close the fuel tank filler door.
Note:
Do not attempt to start the engine if you have filled the fuel tank with incorrect fuel.Incorrect fuel use can cause damage that the vehicle warranty may not cover. Have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Dual Fuel Tanks (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have a dual fuel tank delivery system which operates independently and automatically. The fuel pump in the front fuel tank delivers fuel to the engine. When the fuel level in the front fuel tank drops below three quarter full, fuel automatically transfers from the rear fuel tank to the front fuel tank. Whenever there is fuel in the rear fuel tank, the front fuel tank level remains between half and three quarter full.
Note:
If your vehicle runs out of fuel, you must add fuel to the front fuel tank to restart the engine.
