Fuel and Refueling Diesel fuel dispensing nozzle fill rate Your truck is equipped with a fuel fill pipe that is able to accept fuel up to 20 gallons per minute from an 11⁄8 fuel-dispensing nozzle. Pumping fuel at greater flow rates may result in premature nozzle shut-off or spit back. Fuel filler cap WARNINGS The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel filler cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before completely removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out and injure you or others. If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap, excessive pressure or vacuum in the fuel tank may damage the fuel system or cause the fuel cap to disengage in a collision, which may result in possible personal injury. Note: If you must replace the fuel filler cap, replace it with a fuel filler cap designed for your vehicle. The vehicle warranty may be void for any damage to the fuel tank or fuel system if the correct genuine Ford or Motorcraft® fuel filler cap is not used. Your fuel tank filler cap has an indexed design with a 1/4 turn on/off feature. When fueling your vehicle: 1. Turn the engine off. 2. Carefully turn the filler cap counterclockwise until it spins off. 3. Pull to remove the cap from the fuel filler pipe. 4. To install the cap, align the tabs on the cap with the notches on the filler pipe. 5. Turn the filler cap clockwise 1/4 of a turn until it clicks at least once. EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM Diesel Exhaust System: Oxidation Catalyst And Diesel Particulate Filter System (If Equipped) Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel particulate filter. The diesel particulate filter is an inline filter in the exhaust system that reduces carbon emissions by trapping exhaust particles before they reach the tailpipe. The diesel particulate filter looks similar to a traditional exhaust catalyst, except larger, and is part of the exhaust system under the vehicle. The filter couples to a diesel oxidation catalyst that reduces the amount of harmful exhaust emitted from the tailpipe. As soot gathers in the system, it begins to restrict the filter. You need to periodically clean the soot that gathers inside the filter. You can clean the soot in two different ways, passive regeneration and active regeneration. Both methods occur automatically and require no actions from the driver. During either one of these regeneration methods, you may notice a change in exhaust tone. At certain times, the information display will display various messages related to the diesel particulate filter. See the Information Displays chapter in the Owner Guide for more information. Passive regeneration In passive regeneration, the exhaust system temperature and constituents automatically clean the filter, or reduce the soot level, by burning (oxidizing) the soot. Cleaning occurs naturally because of normal engine operating conditions (at varying levels, due to driving patterns). 30 Super Duty (TFA) , enUSA

Diesel fuel dispensing nozzle fill rate
Your truck is equipped with a fuel fill pipe
that is able to accept fuel up to 20 gallons
per minute from an 11±8 fuel-dispensing
nozzle. Pumping fuel at greater flow rates
may result in premature nozzle shut-off or
spit back.
Fuel filler cap
WARNINGS
The fuel system may be under
pressure. If the fuel filler cap is
venting vapor or if you hear a hissing
sound, wait until it stops before completely
removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise, fuel
may spray out and injure you or others.
If you do not use the proper fuel filler
cap, excessive pressure or vacuum
in the fuel tank may damage the fuel
system or cause the fuel cap to disengage
in a collision, which may result in possible
personal injury.
Note:
If you must replace the fuel filler cap,
replace it with a fuel filler cap designed for
your vehicle. The vehicle warranty may be
void for any damage to the fuel tank or fuel
system if the correct genuine Ford or
Motorcraft® fuel filler cap is not used.
Your fuel tank filler cap has an indexed
design with a 1/4 turn on/off feature.
When fueling your vehicle:
1.
Turn the engine off.
2.
Carefully turn the filler cap
counterclockwise until it spins off.
3.
Pull to remove the cap from the fuel
filler pipe.
4.
To install the cap, align the tabs on the
cap with the notches on the filler pipe.
5.
Turn the filler cap clockwise 1/4 of a
turn until it clicks at least once.
