Maintenance and Specifications BIODIESEL Diesel fuel containing no more than 5% biodiesel may be used. To help achieve acceptable engine performance and durability, it is important to only use biodiesel of good quality in your diesel engine. At a minimum, the biodiesel should comply with ASTM D6751 or an equivalent specification. Use of biodiesel in concentrations greater than 5% may cause damage to your vehicles fuel system components such as fuel tank, fuel lines, fuel pump, fuel sender and fuel injectors. Concentrations greater than 5% can also cause fuel filter restrictions that may result in a lack of power and or fuel pump and fuel injector failure. Look for a label on the fuel pump to confirm the amount of biodiesel contained in a diesel fuel. Biodiesel content is often indicated with the letter "B" followed by the percent of biodiesel in the fuel. For example, B5 indicates a fuel containing 5% biodiesel. Ask the service station attendant to confirm the biodiesel content of a diesel fuel if you do not see a label on the fuel pump. Biodiesel should not be stored in the fuel tank for more than three months. If your vehicle will be parked or stored for more than three months, then your vehicle should be drained and filled with a diesel fuel not containing biodiesel. During cold weather, if you have problems operating on biodiesel, you may need to use a diesel fuel with lower biodiesel content, try another brand, or discontinue the use of biodiesel. Biodiesel use may affect the recommended oil change intervals. Refer to the Special Operating Conditions section in the schedule maintenance guide for more information about oil change intervals and other maintenance when operating on biodiesel. Biodiesel fuel is a product that has been converted from renewable fuel sources, including vegetable oil, animal fat and cooking oil. Raw or refined vegetable oil, animal fat, cooking oil or recycled greases should not be used. Do not use home heating oil, agricultural fuel or any diesel fuel not intended for highway use. Damage to the fuel injection system, engine and exhaust catalyst can occur if an improper fuel is used. Do not add gasoline, gasohol or alcohol to diesel fuel. This practice creates a serious fire hazard and engine performance problems. 35 2009 Econoline (eco) Supplement, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
