    							Diesel Fuel Additives
    It should not be necessary to add any
    aftermarket additives to your fuel if you
    use a high quality diesel fuel that conforms
    to ASTM industry specifications.
    Aftermarket additives can damage the fuel
    injector system or engine.
    Use Motorcraft® cetane booster or an
    equivalent cetane booster additive if you
    suspect fuel has low cetane. Use
    Motorcraft® anti-gel & performance
    improver or an equivalent additive if there
    is fuel gelling.
    Do not use alcohol-based additives to
    improve cetane quality, to prevent fuel
    gelling or any other use. The use of alcohol
    additives may result in damage to the fuel
    injectors and system.  See Capacities and
    Specifications (page 428).
    The Vehicle Warranty may not cover
    repairs needed to correct the effects of
    using an aftermarket product that does
    not meet Ford specifications in your fuel.
    RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
    Avoid running out of fuel because this
    situation may have an adverse effect on
    engine components.
    If you have run out of fuel:
    • You may need to cycle the ignition from
    off to on several times after refueling
    to allow the fuel system to pump the
    fuel from the tank to the engine. On
    restarting, cranking time will take a few
    seconds longer than normal. With
    keyless ignition, just start the engine.
    Crank time will be longer than usual.
    • Normally, adding 
    1.06 gal (4 L) of fuel
    is enough to restart the engine. If the
    vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep
    grade, more than 1.06 gal (4 L) may be
    required. SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
    REDUCTION SYSTEM - DIESEL
    Your vehicle may have a selective catalytic
    reduction system. The system helps reduce
    emission levels of oxides of nitrogen from
    the exhaust system. The system
    automatically injects diesel exhaust fluid
    into the exhaust system to enable correct
    selective catalytic reduction system
    function.
    Note:
    Selective catalytic reduction systems
    are not fitted to vehicles in markets where
    only high-sulfur diesel fuel is available.
    Diesel Exhaust Fluid Level
    In order for the system to operate correctly
    you must maintain the diesel exhaust fluid
    level.
    A warning message appears in the
    information display when the diesel
    exhaust fluid level is low. If a warning
    message appears, refill the diesel exhaust
    fluid tank as soon as possible.  See
    Information Messages
     (page 128).
    Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid
    Tank WARNINGS
    Keep diesel exhaust fluid out of
    reach of children. Avoid contact with
    skin, eyes or clothing. In case of
    contact with your eyes, flush immediately
    with water and get prompt medical
    attention. In case of contact with your skin,
    clean immediately with soap and water. If
    you swallow any diesel exhaust fluid, drink
    plenty of water, call a physician
    immediately.

    							WARNINGS
    Only refill the diesel exhaust fluid
    tank in a well ventilated area. When
    you remove the diesel exhaust fluid
    tank filler cap or a diesel exhaust fluid
    container cap, ammonia vapors may
    escape. Ammonia vapors can be irritating
    to skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
    Inhaling ammonia vapors can cause
    burning to the eyes, throat and nose and
    cause coughing and watery eyes. The diesel exhaust fluid tank has a blue
    filler cap. The tank is behind the left-hand
    front wheel. Fill the tank using a fluid pump
    at a diesel exhaust fluid filling station or a
    diesel exhaust fluid container. We
    recommend Motorcraft® diesel exhaust
    fluid.  See Capacities and Specifications
    (page 428). Only use diesel exhaust fluid that is
    certified by the American Petroleum
    Institute (API). Non-certified diesel exhaust
    fluid use can cause damage not covered
    by the vehicle Warranty.
    Note:
     Do not put diesel exhaust fluid in the
    fuel tank.  This can cause damage not
    covered by the vehicle Warranty.
    You can purchase diesel exhaust fluid at
    an authorized dealer, most highway truck
    stops or you can contact roadside
    assistance for help in finding a retailer that
    sells diesel exhaust fluid. In addition, there
    is a government website to help you find
    the nearest location to purchase diesel
    exhaust fluid:
    http://www.discoverdef.com.
    Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank
    Using a Fuel Station Pump
    Filling the diesel exhaust fluid tank using
    a nozzle is similar to fuel fill. The nozzle
    shuts off automatically when the tank is
    full.
    Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank
    Using a Container
    The following procedure applies to
    Motorcraft diesel exhaust fluid or similar
    fluid containers. Always follow the
    manufacturer's instructions.
    1. Remove the diesel exhaust fluid container cap. Place the spout on to
    the container and tighten it until you
    feel a strong resistance.
    189
    Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Fuel and RefuelingE226045  E163354)E163354  
    						
    							2. Remove the diesel exhaust fluid tank
    filler cap.
    3. Insert the spout in to the filler neck until
    the seal on the spout seats on to the
    filler neck. Pour the fluid in to the tank.
    When the tank is full the fluid will stop
    flowing automatically.
    4. Return the container to the vertical position slightly below the diesel
    exhaust fluid filler neck. Allow any fluid
    remaining in the spout to drain back in
    to the container.
    5. Remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid filler neck. Replace the
    diesel exhaust fluid tank cap.
    6. Remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid container and replace the
    cap.
    Note: If there is diesel exhaust fluid left in
    the container retain it for later use. The
    spout is re-useable. Wash the spout with
    clean water prior to storage. Do not use the
    diesel exhaust fluid spout with any other
    fluid.
    Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid Tank in
    Cold Climates
    Diesel exhaust fluid may freeze if the
    ambient temperature is below 12°F (-11°C).
    Your vehicle has a preheating system
    which allows diesel exhaust fluid to
    operate below 12°F (-11°C). If you do not
    use your vehicle for an extended period
    when the ambient temperature is below
    12°F (-11°C)
    , the fluid in the tank may
    freeze. If the tank is overfilled and the fluid
    freezes it may damage the tank. This is not
    covered by the vehicle warranty. Diesel Exhaust Fluid Warning
    Messages and Vehicle Operations WARNINGS
    Diesel exhaust fluid must be refilled
    when low or replaced when
    contaminated or your vehicle speed
    becomes limited to 50 mph (80 km/h). In
    these conditions, drive with caution and
    refill diesel exhaust fluid immediately. If
    the diesel exhaust fluid becomes empty
    or contaminated and fluid is not replaced,
    your vehicle becomes limited to engine idle
    only once stopped. In these conditions, be
    cautious where you stop your vehicle
    because you may not be able to drive long
    distances or maintain highway speeds until
    you refill or replace the diesel exhaust fluid. Tampering with or disabling selective
    catalytic reduction system results in
    severe vehicle performance
    limitation including eventual speed limiting
    to 
    5 mph (5 km/h). The information display shows a series of
    messages about the amount of diesel
    exhaust fluid available. A systems check
    displays messages indicating the amount
    of diesel exhaust fluid available or displays
    a warning message indicating the
    approximate distance remaining as the
    fluid in the diesel exhaust fluid tank nears
    empty.  See 
    Information Messages
    (page 128). As the diesel exhaust fluid level
    nears empty, the warning
    symbol displays and a series of
    tones and messages starting at 
    500 mi
    (800 km) remaining before diesel exhaust
    fluid is depleted. The warning symbol and
    messages continue until you refill the
    diesel exhaust fluid tank.

    							Continued driving without refilling results
    in the following actions as required by the
    California Air Resources Board (CARB) and
    the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
    (EPA):
    •
    Within a preset distance to empty,
    speed is limited upon vehicle restart.
    Prior to this occurring a message
    appears in the information display.
    • Further vehicle operation without
    refilling the diesel exhaust fluid tank
    causes the engine to enter an idle-only
    condition. This only occurs upon vehicle
    refueling or at an extended idle. A
    message indicates the required actions
    to resume normal operation. It is
    required to add a minimum of 1.0 gal
    (3.8 L) of diesel exhaust fluid to the
    tank to exit the idle-only condition, but
    your vehicle is still in the speed-limiting
    mode until you refill the tank
    completely.
    Note: For either vehicle speed limiting or
    idle-only condition, normal vehicle operation
    resumes when you refill the diesel exhaust
    fluid tank.
    Note: When filling the diesel exhaust fluid
    tank from empty, there may be a short delay
    before detecting the increased level of fluid.
    The increased level detection must occur
    before your vehicle returns to full power.
    Diesel Exhaust Fluid Guidelines
    and Information
    • Use only diesel exhaust fluid that
    carries the American Petroleum
    Institute (API) certified diesel exhaust
    fluid trademark or ISO 22241.
    • Do not put diesel exhaust fluid in the
    diesel fuel tank.
    • Do not overfill the diesel exhaust fluid
    tank.
    • Diesel exhaust fluid is corrosive.
    • Do not re-use the diesel exhaust fluid
    container once it is emptied. •
    Avoid spilling diesel exhaust fluid on
    painted surfaces, carpeting or plastic
    components. Immediately wipe away
    any diesel exhaust fluid that has spilled
    with a damp cloth and water. If it has
    already crystallized, use warm water
    and a sponge.
    • Store diesel exhaust fluid out of direct
    sunlight and in temperatures between
    23°F (-5°C)
     and 68°F (20°C).
    • Diesel exhaust fluid freezes below 12°F
    (-11°C)
    .
    • Do not store the diesel exhaust fluid
    bottle in your vehicle. If it leaks it could
    cause damage to interior components
    or release an ammonia odor inside your
    vehicle.
    • Diesel exhaust fluid is non-flammable,
    non-toxic, colorless and water-soluble
    liquid.
    • The system has a diesel exhaust fluid
    quality sensor. Dilution of diesel
    exhaust fluid or use of any other liquid
    in the SCR system leads to a diesel
    exhaust fluid system fault, eventually
    leading to the vehicle only operating in
    idle-only mode.
    • Do not dilute diesel exhaust fluid with
    water or any other liquid.
    • An ammonia odor may be smelled
    when the cap is removed or during
    refill. Refill diesel exhaust fluid in a well
    ventilated area.

    Contaminated Diesel Exhaust
    Fluid or Inoperative Selective
    Catalytic Reduction System
    Selective catalytic reduction systems are
    sensitive to contamination of the diesel
    exhaust fluid. Maintaining the purity of the
    fluid is important to avoid system
    malfunctions. If you remove or drain the
    diesel exhaust fluid tank, do not use the
    same fluid to refill the tank. The system
    has a sensor to monitor fluid quality. A warning lamp illuminates and
    a message appears in the
    information display if the system
    becomes contaminated or inoperative.
    Continued driving without replacing diesel
    exhaust fluid or having the selective
    catalytic reduction system repaired results
    in the following actions as required by the
    California Air Resources Board (CARB) and
    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
    (EPA):
    • Within a preset distance to empty,
    speed is limited upon vehicle restart.
    Prior to this occurring a message
    appears in the information display.
    • Further vehicle operation without
    replacing contaminated diesel exhaust
    fluid causes the engine to enter an
    idle-only condition. This only occurs
    upon vehicle refueling, vehicle idling in
    park for 1 hour, or engine shutdown for
    10 minutes or more and is indicated by
    a message in the information display
    indicating required actions to resume
    normal operation. Note:
    For vehicle speed limiting or idle-only
    condition, normal vehicle operation resumes
    when you repair the contaminated system.
    To service a contaminated or inoperative
    system, see an authorized dealer.
    REFUELING - GASOLINE WARNINGS
    Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel
    fire can cause severe injuries.
    Read and follow all the instructions
    on the pump island.
    Turn off your engine when you are
    refueling.
    Do not smoke if you are near fuel or
    refueling your vehicle.
    Keep sparks, flames and smoking
    materials away from fuel.
    Stay outside your vehicle and do not
    leave the fuel pump unattended
    when refueling your vehicle. This is
    against the law in some places. Keep children away from the fuel
    pump; never let children pump fuel.
    Do not use personal electronic
    devices while refueling.
    Wait at least 10 seconds before
    removing the fuel pump nozzle to
    allow any residual fuel to drain into
    the fuel tank. 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. Do not remove the fuel pump nozzle
    from its fully inserted position when
    refueling.

    							Use the following guidelines to avoid
    electrostatic charge build-up when filling
    an ungrounded fuel container:
    •
    Place approved fuel container on the
    ground.
    • Do not fill a fuel container while it is in
    the vehicle (including the cargo area).
    • Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact
    with the fuel container while filling.
    • Do not use a device that would hold
    the fuel pump handle in the fill position.
    Fuel Filler Cap WARNINGS
    The fuel system may be under
    pressure. If you hear a hissing sound
    near the fuel filler door, do not refuel
    until the sound stops. Otherwise, fuel may
    spray out, which could cause serious
    personal injury. If you do not use the proper fuel filler
    cap, excessive pressure or vacuum
    in the fuel tank may damage the fuel
    system or cause the fuel cap to disengage
    in a collision, which may result in possible
    personal injury. Note:
    If you must replace the fuel filler cap,
    replace it with a fuel filler cap that is
    designed for your vehicle. The customer
    warranty may be void for any damage to the
    fuel tank or fuel system if the correct
    genuine Ford, Motorcraft or other certified
    fuel filler cap is not used.
    Your fuel tank filler cap has an indexed
    design with a 1/4th turn on and off feature.
    When fueling your vehicle:
    1. Put your vehicle in park (P).
    2. Switch the engine off.
    3. Carefully turn the filler cap counterclockwise until it spins off.
    4. Pull to remove the cap from the fuel filler pipe. 5.
    To install the cap, align the tabs on the
    cap with the notches on the filler pipe.
    6. Turn the filler cap clockwise 1/4 of a turn clockwise until it clicks at least
    once.
    If the Check Fuel Cap light or a Check Fuel
    Cap message appears in the instrument
    cluster and stays on after you start the
    engine, you may not have installed the fuel
    filler properly.
    If the fuel cap light remains on, at the next
    opportunity, safely pull off of the road,
    remove the fuel filler cap, align the cap
    properly and reinstall it. The check fuel cap
    light or Check fuel cap message may not
    reset immediately. It may take several
    driving cycles for the indicators to turn off.
    A driving cycle consists of an engine
    start-up (after four or more hours with the
    engine off) followed by normal city and
    highway driving.
    REFUELING - DIESEL WARNINGS
    Read and follow all the instructions
    on the pump island.
    Stay outside your vehicle and do not
    leave the fuel pump unattended
    when refueling your vehicle.
    Keep children away from the fuel
    pump. Never let children pump fuel.
    Wait at least 10 seconds before
    removing the fuel pump nozzle to
    allow any residual fuel to drain into
    the fuel tank. Do not remove the fuel pump nozzle
    from its fully inserted position when
    refueling.
    193
    Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Fuel and Refueling 
    						
    							WARNINGS
    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. 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. The fuel system may be under
    pressure. If the fuel filler cap is
    venting vapor or if you hear a hissing
    sound, wait until it stops before completely
    removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise, fuel
    may spray out and injure you or others. If you do not use the proper fuel filler
    cap, excessive pressure or vacuum
    in the fuel tank may damage the fuel
    system or cause the fuel cap to disengage
    in a collision, which may result in possible
    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 the correct genuine Ford or
    Motorcraft® fuel filler cap is not used.
    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
    will prevent the entry of dirt or water
    whenever you store diesel fuel. Diesel fuel must not be stored in a
    galvanized container. The fuel will dissolve
    the zinc in the galvanized container. The
    zinc will then remain in the fuel. If you run
    the contaminated fuel through the engine,
    the zinc will 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 an 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:
    1. Fully open the fuel tank filler door until
    it engages and remove the fuel tank
    filler cap. The fuel tank filler cap has
    an indexed design with a 1/4 turn
    on/off feature. Carefully turn the filler
    cap counterclockwise until it spins off.
    194
    Super Duty (TFE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing Fuel and Refueling 
    						
    							2. 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. 3.
    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. 4.
    Slightly raise the fuel pump nozzle and
    then slowly remove it.
    5. 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
    not covered by the vehicle Warranty.  Have
    your vehicle checked immediately.
    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.
    FUEL CONSUMPTION
    Empty reserve is the amount of fuel
    remaining in the tank after the fuel gauge
    indicates empty. The amount of usable
    fuel in the empty reserve varies and should
    not be relied upon to increase driving range.

    A E139203
    A
    B E119081  
    						
    							•
    The usable capacity of the fuel tank is
    the amount of fuel that you can add to
    the fuel tank when the fuel gauge
    indicates empty, before the first fuel
    filler nozzle automatic shutoff event.
    • The advertised capacity is equal to the
    volumetric difference between actual
    fuel fill before the first fuel filler nozzle
    automatic shutoff event and the fuel
    quantity when the fuel gauge indicates
    empty.  See Capacities and
    Specifications (page 411).  It is the
    usable capacity minus the empty
    reserve.
    • Due to the empty reserve, you may be
    able to add more fuel than the
    advertised capacity of the fuel tank
    when the fuel gauge indicates empty.
    Filling the Fuel Tank
    For consistent results when refueling:
    • Turn the ignition off before fueling; an
    inaccurate reading results if the engine
    is left running.
    • Use the same fill rate
    (low-medium-high) each time the tank
    is filled.
    • Allow no more than one automatic
    shut-off when refueling.
    Results are most accurate when the filling
    method is consistent.
    Calculating Fuel Economy
    Do not measure fuel economy during the
    first 
    1,000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this is
    your engine ’s break-in period). A more
    accurate measurement is obtained after
    2,000 mi (3,200 km)
     to 3,000 mi
    (4,800 km). Also, fuel expense, frequency
    of fill ups or fuel gauge readings are not
    accurate ways to measure fuel economy.
    1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record
    the initial odometer reading. 2. Each time you fill the fuel tank, record
    the amount of fuel added.
    3. After at least three fill ups, fill the fuel tank and record the current odometer
    reading.
    4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer reading.
    To calculate L/100 km (liters per 100
    kilometers) fuel consumption, multiply the
    liters used by 100, then divide by kilometers
    traveled.  To calculate MPG (miles per
    gallon) fuel consumption, divide miles
    traveled by gallons used.
    Keep a record for at least one month and
    record the type of driving (city or highway).
    This provides an accurate estimate of your
    vehicle ’s fuel economy under current
    driving conditions.  Keeping records during
    summer and winter will show how
    temperature impacts fuel economy.
    Conditions
    • Heavily loading your vehicle reduces
    fuel economy.
    • Carrying unnecessary weight in your
    vehicle may reduce fuel economy.
    • Adding certain accessories to your
    vehicle such as bug deflectors, rollbars
    or light bars, running boards and ski
    racks may reduce fuel economy.
    • Using fuel blended with alcohol may
    lower fuel economy.
    • Fuel economy may decrease with lower
    temperatures.
    • Fuel economy may decrease when
    driving short distances.
    • You will get better fuel economy when
    driving on flat terrain than when driving

    							EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
    - GASOLINE
    WARNINGS
    Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle
    on dry grass or other dry ground
    cover. The emission system heats up
    the engine compartment and exhaust
    system, creating the risk of fire. Exhaust leaks may result in entry of
    harmful and potentially lethal fumes
    into the passenger compartment. If
    you smell exhaust fumes inside your
    vehicle, have your vehicle inspected
    immediately. Do not drive if you smell
    exhaust fumes. Your vehicle has various emission control
    components and a catalytic converter that
    enables it to comply with applicable
    exhaust emission standards.
    To make sure that the catalytic converter
    and other emission control components
    continue to work properly:
    •
    Use only the specified fuel listed.
    • Avoid running out of fuel.
    • Do not turn off the ignition while your
    vehicle is moving, especially at high
    speeds.
    • Have the items listed in scheduled
    maintenance information performed
    according to the specified schedule.
    The scheduled maintenance items listed
    in scheduled maintenance information are
    essential to the life and performance of
    your vehicle and to its emissions system.
    If you use anything other than Ford,
    Motorcraft or Ford-authorized parts for
    maintenance replacements or for service
    of components affecting emission control,
    such non-Ford parts should be equivalent
    to genuine Ford Motor Company parts in
    performance and durability. Illumination of the service engine soon
    indicator, charging system warning light or
    the temperature warning light, fluid leaks,
    strange odors, smoke or loss of engine
    power could indicate that the emission
    control system is not working properly.
    An improperly operating or damaged
    exhaust system may allow exhaust to
    enter the vehicle. Have a damaged or
    improperly operating exhaust system
    inspected and repaired immediately.
    Do not make any unauthorized changes to
    your vehicle or engine. By law, vehicle
    owners and anyone who manufactures,
    repairs, services, sells, leases, trades
    vehicles, or supervises a fleet of vehicles
    are not permitted to intentionally remove
    an emission control device or prevent it
    from working. Information about your
    vehicle
    ’s emission system is on the Vehicle
    Emission Control Information Decal
    located on or near the engine. This decal
    also lists engine displacement.
    Please consult your warranty information
    for complete details.
    On-Board Diagnostics (OBD-II)
    Your vehicle has a computer known as the
    on-board diagnostics system (OBD-II) that
    monitors the engine ’s emission control
    system. The system protects the
    environment by making sure that your
    vehicle continues to meet government
    emission standards. The OBD-II system
    also assists a service technician in properly
    servicing your vehicle. When the service engine soon
    indicator illuminates, the OBD-II
    system has detected a
    malfunction. Temporary malfunctions may
    cause the service engine soon indicator to
    illuminate. Examples are:
    1. Your vehicle has run out of fuel —the
    engine may misfire or run poorly.
