OPERATION Cold Weather Operation Bio-Diesel Blended Fuel NOTICE: Never use bio-diesel blended fuel containing more than 20% bio-diesel in this vehicle. See page 38. 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 20% bio-diesel can affect engine life and cause deterioration of hoses, tubes, injectors, injector pump and seals. Use the following guidelines if bio-diesel blended fuel is used: • Never use bio-diesel blended fuel containing more than 20% bio-diesel in this vehicle. • Ensure the fuel tank is as full as possible at all times to prevent moisture from collecting in the fuel tank. • Ensure that the fuel tank cap is securely tightened. • Clean up any spilled fuel immediately to prevent damage to painted surfaces. • Drain all water from the fuel filter daily before operating the vehicle. • Do not exceed the engine oil change interval. Extended intervals can result in engine damage. • Before vehicle storage, drain the fuel tank, refill with 100% petroleum diesel fuel, add fuel stabilizer and run the engine for at least 30 minutes. NOTICE: Bio-diesel blended fuel does not have long term stability and should not be stored for more than three months. 41

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.
