Maintenance and Specifications 975 industry specification. Aftermarket additives can damage the injector system or engine. Repairs to correct the effects of using an aftermarket product in your fuel may not be covered by your warranty. Do not blend used engine oil with diesel fuel under any circumstances. Blending used oil with the fuel will significantly increase your vehicle's exhaust emissions and reduce engine life due to increased internal wear. Many of the world's automakers approved the World-wide Fuel Charter that recommends diesel fuel specifications to provide improved performance and emission control system protection for your vehicle. Diesel fuel that meets the World-wide Fuel Charter should be used when available. Ask your fuel supplier about fuel that meets the World-wide Fuel Charter. Fueling tips If the engine fails to start in 30 seconds, turn the key to the OFF position and wait 30 seconds before trying again. Truck stops have pumps and nozzles designed for larger, heavy-duty trucks. When refueling at truck stops: if the nozzle shuts off repeatedly when refueling, wait 5-10 seconds; then use a slower rate of flow (don't depress the nozzle trigger as far). If air is allowed to enter the fuel system (during fuel filter change or if you run out of fuel) the engine will purge the trapped air as it runs. The engine may run rough and produce white smoke while air is in the system. This is normal and should correct itself in a short time. An engine that suddenly becomes noisy or operates poorly after a fuel fill could be using substandard fuel (i.e., high water content, low cetane rating or gasoline in the fuel). Diesel fuel should be purchased from a reputable station which sells a large amount of diesel fuel. Care should be taken whenever diesel fuel is stored. Use only clean, approved containers which will prevent the entry of dirt or water. Diesel fuel must not be stored in a galvanized container. The fuel will dissolve the zinc in a galvanized container. The zinc will then remain in solution until it is run through the engine where it will be deposited in the fuel injectors causing expensive-to-repair damage. Diesel fuel dispensing nozzle fill rate This truck is equipped with a fuel fill pipe which is able to accept fuel up to 20 gallons per minute from an 1 1/8 inch fuel dispensing nozzle. Pumping fuel at greater flow rates may result in premature nozzle shut-off or spitback. 30 2005 Econoline (eco) Supplement USA (fus)
