2013 FORD E SERIES fuel tank capacity

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 the check fuel cap light or aCHECK FUEL CAPmessage comes on,
the fuel filler cap may not be properly installed. The light or message can
come on after several driving events after you’ve refueled your vehicle.
At the next opportunity, safely pull off of the road, remove the fuel filler
cap, align the cap properly and reinstall it. The check fuel cap light or
“check fuel cap” message may not reset immediately; it may take several
driving cycles for the check fuel cap light orCHECK FUEL CAP
message to turn off. A driving cycle consists of an engine start-up (after
four or more hours with the engine off) followed by city and highway
driving.
Continuing to drive with the check fuel cap light or “check fuel cap”
message on may cause the “service engine soon” light to turn on as well.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
Filling the Tank
The advertised capacity is 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 amount of fuel in the tank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Note:The amount of usable fuel in the 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.
For consistent results when filling the fuel tank:
•Turn the ignition off before fueling; an inaccurate reading results if the
engine is left running.
•Use the same fill rate (low–medium–high) each time the tank is filled.
•Allow no more than two automatic click–offs when filling.
Results are most accurate when the filling method is consistent.

maintaining the durability of your engine. Using oils other than the one specified can result in longer engine
cranking periods, reduced engine performance, reduced fuel economy and increased emission levels.

3Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may vary based on cooler size, if equipped
with an in-tank cooler, if equipped with an oil to air cooler and if equipped with a remote filter assembly. The
amount of transmission fluid and fluid level should be set by the indication on the dipstick’s normal operating
range.4Automatic transmissions that require MERCONLV should only use MERCONLV fluid. Refer toscheduled
maintenance informationto determine the correct service interval. Use of any fluid other than the
recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.5Dana limited-slip axle (M60) requires 6 oz. (177 ml) of Additive Friction Modifier XL-3 or equivalent meeting
Ford specification EST-M2C118-A.6If your vehicle’s rear axle is filled with a synthetic rear axle lubricant it is considered lubricated for life.
These lubricants do not need to be checked or changed unless a leak is suspected, service is required or the
axle assembly has been submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed any time the rear axle has
been submerged in water.7Fill Dana rear axles to 1/4 inch to 9/16 inch (6 mm to 14 mm) below bottom of fill hole.8Optional fuel tank 55.0 gallons (208.0L).
