Bio-Diesel Blended Fuel NOTICE: Never use bio-diesel blended fuel containing more than 5% bio-diesel in this vehicle. See page 37. Bio-diesel blended fuel has unique qualities that should be considered before using it in this vehicle: • Cold weather conditions can lead to plugged fuel system components and hard starting. • Bio-diesel blended fuel is an excellent medium for microbial growth and contamination which can cause corrosion and plugging of fuel system components. • Use of bio-diesel blended fuel may result in premature failure of fuel system components, such as plugged fuel filters and deteriorated fuel lines. • Shorter maintenance intervals may be required, such as cleaning the fuel system and replacing fuel filters and fuel lines. • Using bio-diesel blended fuels containing more than five percent (5%) bio-diesel can affect engine life and cause deterioration of hoses, tubes, injectors, injector pump and seals. 39

Bio-Diesel Blended Fuel
NOTICE:
Never use bio-diesel blended fuel containing more than 5% bio-diesel in this vehicle. See
page 37.
Bio-diesel blended fuel has unique qualities that should be considered before using it in this
vehicle:
•
Cold weather conditions can lead to plugged fuel system components and hard starting.
•
Bio-diesel blended fuel is an excellent medium for microbial growth and contamination
which can cause corrosion and plugging of fuel system components.
•
Use of bio-diesel blended fuel may result in premature failure of fuel system components,
such as plugged fuel filters and deteriorated fuel lines.
•
Shorter maintenance intervals may be required, such as cleaning the fuel system and
replacing fuel filters and fuel lines.
•
Using bio-diesel blended fuels containing more than five percent (5%) bio-diesel can
affect engine life and cause deterioration of hoses, tubes, injectors, injector pump and
