Care should be taken whenever diesel fuel is stored. Use only clean,
approved containers which will prevent the entry of dirt or water.
Diesel fuel must not be stored in a galvanized container. The fuel will
dissolve the zinc in a galvanized container. The zinc will then remain in
the solution until it is run through the engine where it will be deposited
in the fuel injectors causing expensive-to-repair damage.
Diesel fuel dispensing nozzle fill rate
This truck is equipped with a fuel fill pipe which is able to accept fuel up
to 20 gallons per minute from an 118” fuel dispensing nozzle. Pumping fuel
at greater flow rates may result in premature nozzle shut-off or spitback.
Fuel filler cap
Your fuel tank filler cap has an indexed design with a 1/4 turn on/off
feature.
When fueling your vehicle:
1. Turn the engine off.
2. Carefully turn the filler cap counterclockwise until it spins off.
3. Pull to remove the cap from the fuel filler pipe.
4. To install the cap, align the tabs on the cap with the notches on the
filler pipe.
5. Turn the filler cap clockwise 1/4 of a turn until it clicks at least once.
If you must replace the fuel filler cap, replace it with a fuel filler
cap that is designed for your vehicle. The vehicle warranty may
be void for any damage to the fuel tank or fuel system if the
correct genuine Ford or Motorcraft fuel filler cap is not used.
WARNING: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 injure you or others.
WARNING:If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap,
excessive pressure or vacuum in the fuel tank may damage the
fuel system or cause the fuel cap to disengage in a collision, which may
result in possible personal injury.

Installation - both
The engine will not run properly if the fuel filter is not installed
in housing.
1. Install the new fuel filter and cap seal into the fuel filter housing.
Refer toMotorcraft part numberslater in this chapter for the fuel filter
part number.
2. Tighten cap onto fuel filter housing slowly, allowing fuel to soak into
the fuel filter element. Tighten cap until it contacts the housing.
Turn the ignition key to on for 30 seconds, then turn it to off. Do this a
total of six times in a row to purge any trapped air from the fuel system.
Replace the filter bowl O-ring with new seal (included in filter kit) every
time you service the filter.
After filter service, a no start or rough running engine may indicate that
air is entering the system through the filter bowl seal or drain. Make sure
the drain lever is pointing rearward and stowed against the HFCM case.
Using a fuel which has more than average impurities may require
the fuel filter to be replaced more frequently than the service
interval specifies.
ENGINE OIL
Checking the engine oil level
Because it is normal to add some oil between oil changes, check your
engine oil level each time you stop for fuel. To check the engine oil level
consistently and accurately, the following procedure is recommended:
1. Have engine at normal operating temperature (at least into the
NORMAL range on the engine coolant temperature gauge).
2. Park the vehicle on a level surface, then turn off the engine and open
the hood.
3. Allow at least20 minutesafter engine shutdown to ensure that the
oil contained in the upper parts of the engine has returned to the oil
pan.
4. Protecting yourself from engine heat, pull out the dipstick, wipe it
clean and reinsert fully.
