2011 FORD SUPER DUTY fuel

FUELING
WARNING:Do not use starting fluid such as ether or gasoline
in the diesel air intake system. Such fluids can cause immediate
explosive damage to the engine and possible personal injury.
If you fuel your vehicle at a truck stop, you may notice that the fuel
nozzle may shut off every 5–10 seconds. This is due to the flow rates
being designed for larger heavy duty trucks. You may have to fuel at a
slower rate (don’t depress the nozzle trigger fully).
Do not run your diesel vehicle out of fuel as this will allow air to enter
the fuel system which will make restarting difficult. Longer engine
cranking time may be required once air is in the fuel system. If air enters
the fuel system (either through running the fuel tank(s) empty or during
a fuel filter change), the engine will self-purge the trapped air once it
starts running. The engine may run roughly and produce white smoke
while air is in the fuel system; this is normal and should stop after a
short time.
MINOR TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Air purge procedure
Turn the key on for 30 seconds, then turn off. Repeat the procedure six
times.
If the engine won’t crank
Turn on the headlights. If the lights are dim, do not go on at all or when
the ignition is turned to START the lights become dim or go out, the
battery connections may be loose or corroded, or the battery may be
discharged. If there is a clicking or stuttering sound coming from the
engine compartment when you turn the key to START, this may also
indicate a loose or corroded battery connection.
Check the battery connections at the battery posts, cable connection to
the engine grounding point and at the starter connection.
If a discharged battery is suspected, have it checked and corrected.
WARNING:Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds.Wash hands after handling.
•The gearshift lever must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) in order for
the starter to operate.

•Try operating the starter switch several times. Should the switch be
corroded, this operation may clean the contacts or make the switch
temporarily operable until you can reach the dealer.
•If all electrical connections are tight and you need assistance to start,
refer toJump startingin theRoadside Emergencieschapter of your
Owner’s Guide.
If engine cranks but won’t start
Prolonged starter cranking (in excess of 10 seconds) could cause
damage to the starter motor.
•Check the fuel gauge. You may be out of fuel. If the gauge shows that
there is fuel in the tank, the trouble may be in the electrical system or
the fuel system. If equipped with an auxiliary tank, be sure that the
tank control switch is set for the tank with fuel and not on an empty
tank.
•Leaving the ignition key turned to on for over two minutes without
starting may make starting difficult because the glow plugs will cease
activation. Reset the system by turning the ignition key to off and
then back to on again.
If the engine runs hot
The following could cause the engine to overheat:
•Lack of coolant.
•Dirty cooling system.
•Plugged radiator fins, A/C condenser and/or oil cooler.
•Malfunctioning fan drive.
•Driving with frozen coolant.
•Sticking thermostat.
•Overloading or pulling heavy trailers during hot weather.
•Grill or radiator air blockage.
•Slipping or missing drive belt.
•Plugged or very dirty air filter.

If fuses burn out
Burned-out or blown fuses usually indicate an electrical short-circuit,
although a fuse may occasionally burn out from vibration. Insert a second
fuse. If this fuse immediately burns out and you cannot locate the cause,
return your vehicle to your dealer for a circuit check.
WARNING:Replacement fuses and circuit breakers must always
be the same rating as the original equipment shown. Never
replace a fuse or circuit breaker with one of a higher rating. Higher
rated fuses or circuit breakers could allow circuit overloading in the
event of a circuit malfunction, resulting in severe vehicle damage or
personal injury due to fire.
Refer to theOwner’s Guidefor replacement of fuses.
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system speed limit and
Idle-only modes
If the vehicle’s speed is limited or in an idle-only mode, the SCR system
may be limiting the vehicle’s functions due to low or contaminated diesel
exhaust fluid (DEF). Check the DEF. SeeSelective catalytic reduction
(SCR) systemin theMaintenance and Specificationschapter for more
information.

Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™
Your diesel engine is equipped with an Intelligent Oil Life Monitor™ that
calculates the proper engine oil change service interval based on vehicle
use. The following table is intended to provide examples of vehicle use
and its impact on engine oil change interval; it is provided as a guideline
only. Actual engine oil change intervals will depend on several factors
and will generally decrease with severity of use.
