Fuel and Refueling Octane Recommendations • You may need to cycle the ignition from off to on several times after refueling to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to the engine. On restarting, cranking time will take a few seconds longer than normal. With keyless ignition, just start the engine. Crank time will be longer than usual. Normally, adding 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of fuel is enough to restart the engine. If the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than 1 gallon (3.8 liters) may be required. The service engine soon indicator may come on. For more information on the service engine soon indicator, See Warning Lamps and Indicators (page 76). • E161513 Regular unleaded gasoline with a pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is recommended. Some stations offer fuels posted as Regular with an octane rating below 87, particularly in high altitude areas. Fuels with octane levels below 87 are not recommended. Do not be concerned if your engine sometimes knocks lightly. However, if it knocks heavily under most driving conditions while you are using fuel with the recommended octane rating, see your authorized dealer to prevent any engine damage. • Refilling With a Portable Fuel Container 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 cause personal injury. Do not try to pry open or push open the fuel system with foreign objects. This could damage the fuel system and its seal and cause personal injury to you or others. Use the following directions when filling from a portable fuel container: 1. Remove the fuel cap from the fuel filler pipe by rotating it counter clockwise. 2. Slowly insert the portable fuel container into the fuel filler opening. RUNNING OUT OF FUEL Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse effect on powertrain components. If you have run out of fuel: 136 Super Duty (TFA)
