Fuel and Refueling Note: Immediately wipe away any diesel exhaust fluid that has spilled on painted surfaces with water and a damp cloth to prevent damage to the paint. Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel exhaust fluid tank with a blue-capped filler port located next to the diesel fuel fill inlet. The tank can be filled using a nozzle at a diesel exhaust fluid filling station (similar to fuel fill) or using a diesel exhaust fluid bottle with a spout. We recommend Motorcraft® diesel exhaust fluid bottles since they are designed to be spill proof and will stop the flow of diesel exhaust fluid when the tank is full. You can use other aftermarket bottles, but they should have a seal on the spout and an internal vent tube to achieve best fill performance and prevent overfilling. Overfilling your diesel exhaust fluid tank can cause damage to the tank. For diesel exhaust fluid capacity. See Technical Specifications (page 56). You can purchase diesel exhaust fluid at your authorized dealer, most highway truck stops or you can contact roadside assistance for help in finding a retailer that sells diesel exhaust fluid. See the Customer Assistance chapter in the Owner's Manual for more information. In addition, there is a government website locator for diesel exhaust fluid at the following web address to find the nearest location to purchase diesel exhaust fluid: http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/ locator/def. Use only diesel exhaust fluid certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API) such as Motorcraft® diesel exhaust fluid or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSS-M99C130-A and/or ISO 22241. Look for API certification trademark shown here. Your vehicle's warranty will not cover repairs resulting from the use of non-certified diesel exhaust fluid products. Maintaining the purity of diesel exhaust fluid is important to avoid malfunctions in the selective catalytic reduction system. If you remove the diesel exhaust fluid for tank repair, you cannot use the same fluid to refill the tank. You can no longer guarantee the purity of the diesel exhaust fluid. To fill the diesel exhaust fluid tank in cold climates, see filling the diesel exhaust fluid tank in cold climates later in this section or see an authorized dealer.
