Fuel and Refueling Among those acts which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency may presume to constitute tampering are the acts listed below: • Removal of hood blanket, fender apron absorbers, fender apron barriers, underbody noise shields or acoustically absorptive material. • Tampering or rendering inoperative the engine speed governor, so as to allow engine speed to exceed manufacturer's specifications. The complexity of the diesel engine makes it so the owner is discouraged from attempting to perform maintenance other than the services described in this supplement. If you experience difficult starting, rough idling, excessive exhaust smoke, a decrease in engine performance or excess fuel consumption, perform the following checks: • a plugged or disconnected air inlet system or engine air filter element. • water in the fuel filter/water separator. • a clogged fuel filter. • contaminated fuel. • air in the fuel system, due to loose connections. • an open or pinched sensor hose. • check engine oil level. • wrong fuel or oil viscosity for climactic conditions. If these checks do not help you correct the engine performance problem you are experiencing, consult an authorized dealer. DUAL FUEL TANK SELECTOR CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED) If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel tanks, you will have a selector control, located to the right of the steering wheel, which allows you to draw fuel from either tank. Your fuel FRONT gauge and the DTE (distance to empty) will display the amount of fuel in the currently selected tank. REAR 43 2013 Diesel (67l) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)
