Maintenance and Specifications Use only a diesel engine that has been configured for use with high sulfur diesel fuel in markets with diesel fuel that has sulfur content greater than 15 ppm. Using low sulfur diesel fuel (16-500 ppm) or high sulfur diesel fuel (greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel engine designed to use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel may result in damage to engine emission control devices and the aftertreatment system, potentially rendering the vehicle inoperable. Engine damage from using the improper type of fuel is not covered under your warranty. Vehicles with engines configured for use with high sulfur diesel fuel will only be made available for sale in countries where ULSD fuel is generally not available or mandated by the government. Vehicles originally sold in a ULSD fuel market that are subsequently exported to non-ULSD fuel markets will need to be retrofitted (at the customer's expense using Ford authorized dealer service parts) in order to be reliably operated on non-ULSD fuel. Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold temperature. For best results at temperatures below 20°F (-7°C), it is recommended to use a diesel fuel which has been seasonally adjusted for the ambient temperature. See Cold weather operation in the Driving chapter of this supplement. BIODIESEL This vehicle may be operated on diesel fuels containing up to 20% biodiesel, also known as B20. To help achieve acceptable engine performance and durability when using biodiesel in your vehicle: • Confirm the biodiesel content of the fuel to be B20 (20% biodiesel) or less. • Only use biodiesel fuel of good quality that complies with industry standards. • Follow the recommended service maintenance intervals section in the Schedule Maintenance chapter. • Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fuel tank for more than 1 month. • Consider changing brands or reducing biodiesel content if you have cold temperature fuel gelling issues or a frequent LOW FUEL PRESSURE message appearing. • Do not use raw oils, fats or waste cooking greases. 22 2012 Diesel (67l) Supplement, 3rd Printing USA (fus)

Use only a diesel engine that has been configured for use with
high sulfur diesel fuel in markets with diesel fuel that has sulfur
content greater than 15 ppm. Using low sulfur diesel fuel (16–500
ppm) or high sulfur diesel fuel (greater than 500 ppm) in a diesel
engine designed to use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel may
result in damage to engine emission control devices and the
aftertreatment system, potentially rendering the vehicle
inoperable. Engine damage from using the improper type of fuel
is not covered under your warranty.
Vehicles with engines configured for use with high sulfur diesel fuel will
only be made available for sale in countries where ULSD fuel is generally
not available or mandated by the government. Vehicles originally sold in
a ULSD fuel market that are subsequently exported to non-ULSD fuel
markets will need to be retrofitted (at the customer’s expense using Ford
authorized dealer service parts) in order to be reliably operated on
non-ULSD fuel.
Diesel fuel is adjusted seasonally for cold temperature. For best results
at temperatures below 20°F (-7°C), it is recommended to use a diesel
fuel which has been seasonally adjusted for the ambient temperature.

BIODIESEL
This vehicle may be operated on diesel fuels containing up to 20%
biodiesel, also known as B20.
To help achieve acceptable engine performance and durability when
using biodiesel in your vehicle:
•
Confirm the biodiesel content of the fuel to be B20 (20% biodiesel) or
less.
•
Only use biodiesel fuel of good quality that complies with industry
standards.
•
Follow the recommended service maintenance intervals section in the
Schedule Maintenance
chapter.
•
Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fuel tank for more than 1 month.
•
Consider changing brands or reducing biodiesel content if you have
cold temperature fuel gelling issues or a frequent
LOW FUEL
PRESSURE
message appearing.
•
Do not use raw oils, fats or waste cooking greases.
