Maintenance and Specifications If you fuel your vehicle at a truck stop, you may notice that the fuel nozzle may shut off every 5-10 seconds. This is due to the flow rates being designed for larger heavy duty trucks. You may have to fuel at a slower rate (don't depress the nozzle trigger fully). Do not run your diesel vehicle out of fuel as this will allow air to enter the fuel system which will make restarting difficult. Longer engine cranking time may be required once air is in the fuel system. If air enters the fuel system (either through running the fuel tank(s) empty or during a fuel filter change), the engine will self-purge the trapped air once it starts running. The engine may run roughly and produce white smoke while air is in the fuel system; this is normal and should stop after a short time. MINOR TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE If the engine won't crank Turn on the headlights. If the lights are dim, do not go on at all or when the ignition is turned to 5 (START) the lights become dim or go out, the battery connections may be loose or corroded, or the battery may be discharged. If there is a clicking or stuttering sound coming from the engine compartment when you turn the key to 5 (START), this may also indicate a loose or corroded battery connection. Check the battery connections at the battery posts, cable connection to the engine grounding point and at the starter connection. If a discharged battery is suspected, have it checked and corrected. Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands after handling. • For vehicles with manual transmissions, the clutch pedal must be fully depressed in order for the starter to operate. • For vehicles with automatic transmissions, the gearshift lever must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) in order for the starter to operate. • Try operating the starter switch several times. Should the switch be corroded, this operation may clean the contacts or make the switch temporarily operable until you can reach the dealer. • If all electrical connections are tight and you need assistance to start, refer to Jump starting in the Roadside Emergencies chapter of your Owner's Guide (F-Super Duty ) or refer to the Jump starting section in the Roadside Emergencies chapter of this supplement (E-Series). 45 2006 Econoline (eco) Supplement USA (fus)
