Fuel and Refueling 3.5L V6 and 5.0L V8 Engines We recommend regular unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87. Some stations offer fuels posted as regular with an octane rating below 87, particularly in high altitude areas. We do not recommend fuels with an octane rating below 87. WARNINGS Do not try to pry open or push open the capless fuel system with foreign objects. This could damage the fuel system and its seal and cause injury to you or others. When refueling the vehicle fuel tank from a fuel container, use the plastic funnel included with your vehicle. • In SuperCab and SuperCrew vehicles, the funnel is located under the second row passenger side seat near the spare tire toolbox. • On regular cab vehicles, the funnel is located behind the passenger seat. When refueling the vehicle fuel tank from a fuel container, do the following: 1. Locate the plastic funnel. RUNNING OUT OF FUEL Avoid running out of fuel. This may have an adverse effect on powertrain components. If your vehicle runs out of fuel: • You may need to cycle the ignition from Off to On several times after refueling to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the fuel tank to the engine. On restarting, cranking time will take a few seconds longer than normal. • Normally, adding 1 gal (3.8 L) of fuel is enough to restart the engine. If the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than 1 gal (3.8 L) may be required. • The service engine soon indicator may come on. For more information on the service engine soon indicator, See Audible Warnings and Indicators (page 104). For information on calculating DTE (Distance to empty), See Instrument Cluster (page 97). E142668 Refilling With a Portable Fuel Container WARNINGS Do not insert the nozzle of a fuel container or an aftermarket funnel into the fuel filler neck. This may damage the fuel system filler neck or its seal and cause fuel to run onto the ground. 2. Insert the plastic funnel into the fuel tank filler pipe opening. 3. Fill the vehicle with fuel from the portable fuel container. 4. Clean the plastic funnel and place it back in your vehicle or properly dispose of it. Note: Extra funnels can be purchased from an authorized dealer if you choose to dispose of the funnel. 170 F-150 (), enUSA, First Printing
