Running Out of Fuel
If the diesel engine stalls and you think that you’ve run
out of fuel, do this:
{CAUTION:
Diesel fuel is ammable. It could start a re if
it gets on hot engine parts. You could be
burned. Do not let too much fuel ow from the
air bleed valve, and wipe up any spilled fuel
with a cloth.
To restart your engine:
1. If you’re parked on a level surface, add at least
two gallons of fuel. However, if you’re parked on
a slope, you may need to add up to five gallons
of fuel.
2. Follow the fuel priming procedure earlier in this
section to prime the fuel filter.
3. Close the air bleed valve.4. Turn the ignition key to START for 10 to
15 seconds at a time until your engine starts. If the
engine tries to run, but does not run smoothly,
increase the rpm a little using the accelerator pedal.
This will help force air through the system.
Fuel Filter Replacement
If you want to change the diesel engine fuel filter
yourself, here’s how to do it:
{CAUTION:
Diesel fuel is ammable. It could start a re if
something ignites it, and you could be burned.
Do not let it get on hot engine parts, and keep
matches or other ignition sources away.
First, drain any water from the filter following the
procedure for draining water listed previously.
Your vehicle’s engine should be off until the end of this
procedure.

2. Push the release lever and slide the wiper assembly
toward the driver’s side of the vehicle.
3. Install a new blade by reversing Steps 1 and 2.
