2011 FORD F650 fuel cap

Observe the following guidelines when handling fuel:
•Extinguish all smoking materials
and any open flames before
fueling your vehicle.
•Always turn off the vehicle before
fueling.
•Automotive fuels can be harmful
or fatal if swallowed. If fuel is swallowed, call a physician immediately,
even if no symptoms are immediately apparent. The toxic effects of
fuel may not be visible for hours.
•Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too much fuel vapor of any kind
can lead to eye and respiratory tract irritation. In severe cases,
excessive or prolonged breathing of fuel vapor can cause serious
illness and permanent injury.
•Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If fuel is splashed in the eyes,
remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes and
seek medical attention. Failure to seek proper medical attention could
lead to permanent injury.
•Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin. If fuel is
splashed on the skin and/or clothing, promptly remove contaminated
clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Repeated or
prolonged skin contact with fuel liquid or vapor causes skin irritation.
If you must replace the fuel filler cap, replace it with a genuine
Ford or Motorcraftpart. The customer warranty may be void for
any damage to the fuel tank or fuel system if a genuine Ford or
Motorcraftfuel filler cap is not used.
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.
Choosing the right fuel
Use only Ultra Low Sulfur (15 ppm Sulfur Maximum) number 1-D
or 2-D diesel fuel in your diesel engine. The engine and exhaust
system were designed to only use this fuel. Look for the
ULTRA-LOW SULFUR HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL (15 ppm Sulfur
Maximum) label on fuel pumps when purchasing your fuel.

Filling the DEF tank
Your vehicle is equipped with a DEF tank with a blue-capped filler port
The 5 gallon (19.0L) DEF tank is located on the left side of the vehicle
under the cab and the 9 gallon (34.0L) DEF tank is located on the right
side of the vehicle behind the Regular Cab and Super Cabs and under the
Crew Cab. The tank can be filled using a nozzle at a DEF filling station
(similar to fuel fill) or using a DEF bottle with a spout. Motorcraftbrand
DEF bottles are recommended. Other aftermarket bottles can be used but
it should have a seal on the spout and an internal vent tube to achieve best
fill performance and prevent overfilling.

Note:Do not put DEF in the fuel tank or any other tank on the vehicle.
This can cause damage to components not covered by your vehicle’s
warranty.
You can purchase DEF at your authorized dealer, most highway truck
stops or you can contact roadside assistance for help in finding a retailer
that sells DEF. See theCustomer Assistancechapter for more
information. Also, a government website locator is available for diesel
exhaust fluid supplies. The following web address can be used to find the
nearest location to purchase DEF:
http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/locator/def.
Use MotorcraftDEF or equivalent
meeting Ford specification
WSS-M2C130-A and/or ISO 22241.
Use only DEF certified by the
American Petroleum Institute. Look
for this certification trademark.
Repairs resulting from the use of a
non-certified DEF products may not
be covered by your vehicle’s warranty.
Maintaining the purity of DEF is important to avoid malfunctions in the
SCR system.
If DEF is removed from the tank for any reason, such as repair work, the
same DEF must not be used to refill the tank as its purity is no longer
guaranteed.
WARNING:Make sure that DEF does not come into contact
with eyes, skin or clothing. Should DEF contact your eyes, flush
them with plenty of water and contact a physician. Clean affected skin
with soap and water. If DEF is swallowed, drink plenty of water and
contact a physician immediately.
WARNING:Refill DEF in a well-ventilated area. When opening
the cap on the DEF tank or bottle containing DEF, ammonia
vapors may escape. The vapors can be irritating to skin, eyes and
mucous membranes. Inhaling ammonia vapors can cause burning to the
eyes, throat and nose and cause coughing and watery eyes.

4. Lift and tip the container to let
DEF flow into the tank. Pour DEF
until the container is empty or DEF
flow stops. DEF can be seen flowing
through the spout, but will not
completely fill the spout while
flowing. Air will be trapped in the
spout while DEF is flowing. When
the DEF tank is full, DEF will
completely fill the spout and
displace the air in the spout.
5. Once the spout is full with DEF (no more large air pockets) return the
container to the vertical position slightly below the DEF filler port and
let any DEF drain out of the spout. DO NOT try to continue to add DEF
to the tank by shaking or repositioning the container to induce flow. This
may cause spilling and overfill the tank. Overfilling the DEF tank can
cause damage to the tank.
6. Once the spout has drained, remove the spout from the DEF filler
port and install the blue cap on the DEF filler port by turning the cap
14-turn clockwise.
7. Remove the spout from the DEF container and install the cap back on
the bottle.
8. If the container is empty, discard the empty container and spout, or
recycle if possible. If there is some DEF left in the container, retain it
and the spout for later use. Store the spout to ensure it is kept clean.
9. Wipe away any DEF that has spilled on painted surfaces with water
and a damp cloth.
DEF filling station nozzle fill
Filling the DEF tank using a nozzle is similar to a normal fuel fill. The
nozzle will shut off automatically when the tank is full. Do not continue
to fill the tank as this may cause spilling and overfill the tank which can
cause damage.
Filling the DEF tank in cold climates
DEF will freeze below 12°F (-11°C); if temperatures are at or below this
for an extended period of time and the DEF tank is full and you are not
going to drive the vehicle, there is a risk that the tank could freeze and
cause damage. If low temperature conditions are expected you should
keep your tank at least 50% full and make sure you add DEF on level
ground to prevent the fluid from freezing on angle.

The advertised fuel capacity of the fuel tank(s) on your vehicle is equal
to the rated refill capacity of the fuel tank(s) as listed inRefill
capacitiesin this chapter. The advertised capacity is the amount of the
indicated capacity and the empty reserve combined. Indicated capacity is
the difference in the amount of fuel in a full tank and a tank when the
fuel gauge indicates empty. Empty reserve is the small amount of usable
fuel remaining in the fuel tank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
The amount of empty reserve varies and should not be relied
upon to increase driving range. When refueling your vehicle after
the fuel gauge indicates empty, you might not be able to refuel
the full amount of the advertised capacity of the fuel tank due to
the empty reserve still present in the tank.
Filling the tank
For consistent results:
•Use the same fill rate setting (low-medium-high) each time during
filling.
•Allow three automatic click-offs when filling.
•Always use fuel of a known quality, preferably a national brand.
•Have the vehicle loading and distribution the same every time.
•When refueling a vehicle equipped with dual fuel tanks, if the two
tanks are not filled equally, the fuel gauge reading may fluctuate
slightly until the fuel level between the two tanks balance out and
become equal.
Your results will be most accurate if your filling method is consistent.
Note:For vehicles equipped with dual fuel tanks, engine performance
may degrade if fuel is not added to both tanks when refueling.
Calculating fuel economy
1. Fill the fuel tank(s) completely and record the initial odometer
reading (in miles or kilometers).
2. Each time you fill the tank(s), record the amount of fuel added (in
gallons or liters).
3. After at least three to five tank fill-ups, fill the fuel tank(s) and record
the current odometer reading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer
reading.

Under-inflation is the primary cause of premature tire concerns including
sudden loss of air. In addition, low inflation causes an increase in rolling
resistance. This results in reduced fuel mileage, a loss in tread mileage,
and uneven wear due to increased tread movement. To determine proper
inflation refer to the tire manufacturer load/inflation guide which can be
found on the tire manufacturer website or at your local truck tire dealer.
Inspection
Check condition of tires for abnormal wear patterns, and proper inflation
pressures. Cut or broken tire casing must be repaired or replaced.
Tires should be inspected for the following conditions. If any are present,
the tire should be removed and repaired, retreaded or scrapped as the
condition indicates.
•Any blister, bump or raised portion anywhere on the surface of the
tire tread or sidewall (other than a bump made by a repair). These
indicate the start of internal separation.
•Any cut that reaches to the belt or ply cords, or any cut that is large
enough to grow in size and depth.
•Any nail or puncturing object.
•If any stone or object is held by a tread groove and is starting to drill
into the tread base, remove the object.
Proper tire inflation, toe-in adjustment, loads, and road speeds are
important factors governing tire mileage, steering ease and
maneuverability.
Loads
WARNING:Loading tires beyond their rated capacity decreases
tire life requiring more frequent replacement of tires.
Overloading creates an unsafe condition that may result in sudden air
loss from a tire failure resulting in an accident that could cause
property damage, personal injury or death.
Note:Your GAW/GVW rating is correct at the time of your vehicle
production, and reflects the exact rating of the tires specified. When
replacing tires be sure that the replacement tire load rating (listed in
pounds and kilograms on the tire sidewall) is the same or higher than
the tire that is removed. Failure to do so will adversely affect maximum
load carrying capacity. Tires with the same size specification do not
always have the same load specification.
