Fuel and Refueling To help achieve acceptable engine performance and durability when using biodiesel in your vehicle: • Confirm the biodiesel content of the fuel to be B20 (20% biodiesel) or less. • Only use biodiesel fuel of good quality that complies with industry standards. • Follow the recommended service maintenance intervals section in the Schedule Maintenance chapter. • Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fuel tank for more than 1 month. • Consider changing brands or reducing biodiesel content if you have cold temperature fuel gelling issues or a frequent LOW FUEL PRESSURE message appearing. • Do NOT use raw oils, fats or waste cooking greases. Use of biodiesel in concentrations greater than 20% may cause damage to your vehicle, including engine and/or exhaust after-treatment hardware (exhaust catalyst and particulate filter) failures. Concentrations greater than 20% can also cause fuel filter restrictions that may result in a lack of power and / or damage to fuel system components, including fuel pump and fuel injector failures. SAE 5W-40 or SAE 15W-40 oil is recommended for fuels with greater than 5% biodiesel (B5). Refer to the Special operating conditions section under the Schedule Maintenance chapter for more information about oil change intervals and other maintenance when operating on biodiesel. Look for a label on the fuel pump to confirm the amount of biodiesel contained in a diesel fuel. Biodiesel content is often indicated with the letter "B" followed by the percent of biodiesel in the fuel. For example, B20 indicates a fuel containing 20% biodiesel. Ask the service station attendant to confirm the biodiesel content of a diesel fuel if you do not see a label on the fuel pump. Biodiesel fuels degrade more easily than diesel fuels not containing biodiesel and should not be stored in the fuel tank for more than 1 month. If your vehicle will be parked or stored for more than 1 month, then your vehicle fuel tank should be emptied of biodiesel fuel, filled with a pure petroleum-based diesel fuel, and run for a minimum of 30 minutes. Note: Degraded or oxidized biodiesel can damage fuel system seals and plastics and corrode steel parts. During cold weather, if you have problems operating on biodiesel, you may need to use a diesel fuel with lower biodiesel content, try another brand, or discontinue the use of biodiesel. 16 2013 Diesel (67l) Supplement, 1st Printing USA (fus)

using biodiesel in your vehicle:
•
Confirm the biodiesel content of the fuel to be B20 (20% biodiesel) or

•
Follow the recommended service maintenance intervals section in the

Do not store biodiesel fuel in the fuel tank for more than 1 month.
•
Consider changing brands or reducing biodiesel content if you have
cold temperature fuel gelling issues or a frequent

message appearing.
•
Do NOT use raw oils, fats or waste cooking greases.
Use of biodiesel in concentrations greater than 20% may cause damage
to your vehicle, including engine and/or exhaust after-treatment
hardware (exhaust catalyst and particulate filter) failures. Concentrations
greater than 20% can also cause fuel filter restrictions that may result in
a lack of power and / or damage to fuel system components, including
fuel pump and fuel injector failures.
