Maintenance and Specifications Diesel fuel that meets the World-wide Fuel Charter should be used when available. Ask your fuel supplier about fuel that meets the World-wide Fuel Charter. Diesel fuel conditioner Additives that will improve fuel cetane numbers may be used to verify/enhance fuel quality. Use Motorcraft Cetane Booster & Performance Improver, PM-22-A (U.S.) / PM-22-B (Canada) or equivalent. The customer warranty may be void from using additives that do not meet or exceed Ford specifications. Do not use alcohol based additives to correct fuel gelling. This may result in damage to the fuel injectors/system. Use Motorcraft Anti-Gel & Performance Improver, PM-23-A (U.S.) / PM-23-B (Canada) or equivalent. The customer warranty may be void from using additives that do not meet or exceed Ford specifications. Note: This ultra-low sulfur formulation is designed to meet the emissions standards for the 6.4L engine and is backward compatible as well (i.e., can be used in Ford 6.9L, 7.3L, and 6.0L diesel engines). Fueling tips If the engine fails to start in 30 seconds, turn the key to the off position and wait 30 seconds before trying again. 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 (don't depress the nozzle trigger as far). If air is allowed to enter the fuel system (during fuel filter change or if you run out of fuel) the engine will purge the trapped air as it runs. The engine may run rough and produce white smoke while air is in the system. This is normal and should correct itself in a short time. An engine that suddenly becomes noisy or operates poorly after a fuel fill could be using substandard fuel (i.e., high water content, low cetane rating or gasoline in the fuel). Diesel fuel should be purchased from a reputable station which sells a large amount of diesel fuel. Care should be taken whenever diesel fuel is stored. Use only clean, approved containers which will prevent the entry of dirt or water. Diesel fuel must not be stored in a galvanized container. The fuel will dissolve the zinc in a galvanized container. The zinc will then remain in the solution until it is run through the engine where it will be deposited in the fuel injectors causing expensive-to-repair damage. 38 2009 Econoline (eco) Supplement, 2nd Printing USA (fus)
