Filling the DEF tank
Your vehicle is equipped with a DEF tank with a blue-capped filler port
located next to the diesel fuel fill inlet. 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. MotorcraftDEF bottles are recommended as they are
designed to be spill proof and will stop the flow of DEF when the tank is
full. Other aftermarket bottles can be used, but they should have a seal
on the spout and an internal vent tube to achieve best fill performance
and prevent overfilling. Overfilling your DEF tank can cause damage to
the tank. For DEF capacity, seeMaintenance product specifications
and capacitiesin this chapter.
Note:Do not put DEF in the fuel tank. This can cause engine damage
not covered by your vehicle’s warranty.
Note:Immediately wipe away any DEF that has spilled on painted
surfaces with water and a damp cloth to prevent damage to the paint.
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 in theOwner’s Guidefor
more information. In addition, there is a government website locator for
DEF at the following web address that can be used to find the nearest
location to purchase DEF: http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/locator/def.
Use only DEF certified by the
American Petroleum Institute (API)
such as MotorcraftDEF or
equivalent meeting Ford specification
WSS-M99C130-A and/or ISO 22241.
Look for API certification trademark
shown here. Repairs resulting from
the use of 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 repair work, etc., 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.
