2013 FORD SUPER DUTY ABS

Care should be taken whenever diesel fuel is stored. Use only clean,
approved containers which will prevent the entry of dirt or water.
Diesel fuel must not be stored in a galvanized container. The fuel will
dissolve the zinc in a galvanized container. The zinc will then remain in
the solution until it is run through the engine where it will be deposited
in the fuel injectors causing expensive-to-repair damage.
Diesel fuel dispensing nozzle fill rate
This truck is equipped with a fuel fill pipe which is able to accept fuel up
to 20 gallons per minute from a 1
18fuel dispensing nozzle. Pumping fuel
at greater flow rates may result in premature nozzle shut-off or spitback.
Fuel filler cap
WARNING:The fuel system may be under pressure. If the fuel
filler cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait
until it stops before completely removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise,
fuel may spray out and injure you or others.
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.
Note:If you must replace the fuel filler cap, replace it with a fuel filler
cap that is designed for your vehicle. The vehicle warranty may be void
for any damage to the fuel tank or fuel system if the correct genuine
Ford or Motorcraft® fuel filler cap is not used.
Your fuel tank filler cap has an indexed design with a 1/4 turn on/off feature.
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.

Installation – DFCM filter
1. Install the new filter into the filter bowl tabs and replace the seal on
the DFCM header (top portion of DFCM). Refer toMotorcraft part
numbersin theMaintenancechapter for the fuel filter kit part number.
2. Lube O-ring with lubricant packet in the filter kit. This will assist in
making sure the filter gets properly tightened.
3. Reinstall the lower portion of the
housing by slowly turning it
clockwise onto DFCM housing,
allowing fuel to soak into the fuel
filter element. Tighten the lower
housing until it contacts the
mechanical stop.
Note:The engine will not run
properly if the DFCM fuel filter is
not installed in the housing or if the
filter bowl is not tightened to the
mechanical stop.
The system will need to be purged of air after removal/changing of the
filter. SeePurging air from the fuel system after DFCM and engine
mounted fuel filter replacementfollowing.
Removal - Engine-mounted fuel filter
The engine-mounted fuel filter is a plastic disposable cartridge. To
remove it, do the following:
1. Disconnect both fuel lines by
squeezing the connector tabs and
pulling the lines straight off.
Note:Although the fuel system is
not fully pressurized when the
vehicle is off, some residual
pressure may remain in the fuel
system since it can take some time
for the pressure to completely bleed
off. Therefore, it is recommended to
place a shop rag below the filter
connectors to absorb the small amount of fuel that will drain.

EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM(S) LAWS
WARNING:Do not remove or alter the original equipment floor
covering or insulation between it and the metal floor of the
vehicle. The floor covering and insulation protect occupants of the
vehicle from the engine and exhaust system heat and noise. On
vehicles with no original equipment floor covering insulation, do not
carry passengers in a manner that permits prolonged skin contact with
the metal floor. Provide adequate insulation. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in fire or personal injury.
In the U.S. federal law and certain state laws prohibit removing or
rendering inoperative emission control system(s). Similar federal or
provincial laws may apply in Canada. Ford recommends against any
vehicle modification without determining applicable law.
Tampering with emissions control
systems (including related sensors
and the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)
injection system) can result in reduced engine power and the
illumination of the service engine soon light.
NOISE EMISSIONS WARRANTY, PROHIBITED TAMPERING ACTS
AND MAINTENANCE
On January 1, 1978, Federal regulation became effective governing the
noise emission on trucks over 10,000 lbs. (4,536 kg) GVWR (Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating). The following statements concerning prohibited
tampering acts and maintenance, and the noise warranty found in the
Warranty Guide, are applicable to complete chassis cabs over
10,000 lbs. (4,536 kg) GVWR.
Tampering with noise control system prohibited
Federal law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) The
removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes
of maintenance, repair or replacement of any device or element of design
incorporated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior
to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or
(2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has
been removed or rendered inoperative by any person.

Among those acts which the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency may
presume to constitute tampering are the acts listed below:
•Removal of hood blanket, fender apron absorbers, fender apron
barriers, underbody noise shields or acoustically absorptive material.
•Tampering or rendering inoperative the engine speed governor, so as
to allow engine speed to exceed manufacturer’s specifications.
The complexity of the diesel engine makes it so the owner is discouraged
from attempting to perform maintenance other than the services
described in this supplement.
If you experience difficult starting, rough idling, excessive exhaust
smoke, a decrease in engine performance or excess fuel consumption,
perform the following checks:
•a plugged or disconnected air inlet system or engine air filter element.
•water in the fuel filter/water separator.
•a clogged fuel filter.
•contaminated fuel.
•air in the fuel system, due to loose connections.
•an open or pinched sensor hose.
•check engine oil level.
•wrong fuel or oil viscosity for climactic conditions.
If these checks do not help you correct the engine performance problem
you are experiencing, consult an authorized dealer.
DUAL FUEL TANK SELECTOR CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
If your vehicle is equipped with dual
fuel tanks, you will have a selector
control, located to the right of the
steering wheel, which allows you to
draw fuel from either tank. Your fuel
gauge and the DTE (distance to
empty) will display the amount of
fuel in the currently selected tank.

Adding engine coolant
WARNING:Do not add coolant when the engine is hot. Steam and
scalding liquids released from a hot cooling system can burn you
badly. Also, you can be burned if you spill coolant on hot engine parts.
WARNING:Do not put coolant in the windshield washer fluid
container. If sprayed on the windshield, coolant could make it
difficult to see through the windshield.
WARNING:To reduce the risk of personal injury, make sure the
engine is cool before unscrewing the coolant pressure relief cap.
The cooling system(s) are under pressure; steam and hot liquid can
come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly.
WARNING:Do not add coolant further than the MAX mark.
Note:Do not use stop leak pellets, cooling system sealants or unapproved
additives as they can cause damage to the engine cooling and/or heating
systems. This damage would not be covered under your vehicle’s warranty.
Note:During normal vehicle operation, the engine coolant may change
color from orange to pink or light red. If the engine coolant is clear and
uncontaminated, this color change does not indicate the engine coolant
has degraded nor does it require the engine coolant to be drained, the
system to be flushed, or the engine coolant to be replaced.
•DO NOT MIX different colors or types of coolant in your vehicle. Only
use prediluted engine coolant that meets Ford specification . Mixing of
engine coolants may harm your engine’s cooling system. The use of an
improper coolant may harm engine and cooling system components
and may void the warranty.
•In case of emergency, a large amount of water without engine coolant
may be added in order to reach a vehicle service location. In this
instance, the cooling system must be drained, chemically cleaned, and
refilled with engine coolant as soon as possible per the instructions in
the Workshop Manual. Water alone (without engine coolant) can cause
engine damage from corrosion, overheating or freezing.DO NOTuse
this method for the secondary cooling system. The secondary cooling
system operates close to ambient temperature, and is susceptible to
freezing in any subfreezing environment, in the absence of coolant.
