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.

To fill the DEF tank, see your authorized dealer or do the following
(before filling the DEF tank in cold climates, seeFilling the DEF tank
in cold climateslater in this section):
DEF bottle fill with spout
The following procedure applies to MotorcraftDEF or similar DEF
bottles; for other brands or bottle types, refer to the instructions on the
bottle label.
1. Remove the cap from DEF
container and twist the spout onto
the container until the locking tab is
engaged.
2. Open the DEF filler port on the
vehicle by turning the blue cap
counterclockwise
14-turn.
3. Lift and hold the DEF container, without tipping, and insert the spout
into the DEF filler.

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.
