Fuel and Refueling 6. Once the level in the diesel exhaust fluid bottle has stopped dropping, return the container to the vertical position slightly below the diesel exhaust fluid filler port and let any diesel exhaust fluid drain out of the spout. DO NOT try to continue to add diesel exhaust fluid to the tank by shaking or repositioning the container to induce flow. This may cause spilling and overfill the tank. Overfilling the diesel exhaust fluid tank can cause damage to the tank. 7. Once the spout has drained, remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid filler port and install the blue cap on the diesel exhaust fluid filler port. 8. Remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid container and install the cap back on the bottle. 9. If the container is empty, discard the empty container, or recycle if possible. If there is diesel exhaust fluid left in the container, retain it for later use. The spout is re-useable; after use, rinse it with clean water and store the spout to keep it clean. Do not use the diesel exhaust fluid spout with any other chemicals. 10. Wipe away any diesel exhaust fluid that has spilled on painted surfaces with water and a damp cloth. Diesel Exhaust Fluid filling station nozzle fill Filling the diesel exhaust fluid tank using a nozzle is similar to a normal fuel fill. The nozzle will shut off automatically when the tank is full. Do not continue to fill the tank as this may cause spilling and overfill can cause damage to the tank. Note: Some filling station nozzles may prevent filling of your diesel exhaust fluid tank due to a magnetic mechanism in the nozzle. This is not a problem with your vehicle. To refill your tank either locate another filling station or use a bottle to refill the tank. Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid tank in cold climates Diesel exhaust fluid will freeze below 12°F (-11°C); however, your vehicle is equipped with an automatic preheating system which allows the diesel exhaust fluid system to operate below 12°F (-11°C). When your vehicle is not in operation for an extended period with temperatures at or below 12°F (-11°C), the diesel exhaust fluid tank could freeze. If the tank is OVERFILLED and freezes, it could be damaged, therefore DO NOT OVERFILL. To prevent overfilling of the diesel exhaust fluid tank when filling with a bottle, Ford recommends using Motorcraft® diesel exhaust fluid. Additionally, if the information display indicates EXHAUST FLUID UNDER 1/2 FULL, you should only add a MAXIMUM of 2 gallons (6.7L) of diesel exhaust fluid to the tank to prevent freeze damage due to overfilling. If the information display indicates EXHAUST FLUID LEVEL OK, do not add diesel exhaust fluid. Contaminated Diesel Exhaust Fluid or inoperative Selective Catalytic Reduction system Selective catalytic reduction systems are sensitive to E163176 contamination of the diesel exhaust fluid. USE ONLY API or ISO 22241 CERTIFIED DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID. If the selective catalytic reduction system becomes contaminated or inoperative, the diesel exhaust fluid light will illuminate and exhaust fluid system fault messages will appear in the information display. 25 Super Duty (TFA)
