2014 FORD F150 octane

FUEL QUALITY
Use of any fuel other than those
recommended may cause powertrain
damage and a loss of vehicle performance;
repairs may not be covered under warranty.
Choosing the Right Fuel Without
a Flex Fuel Vehicle (If Equipped)
Use only UNLEADED gasoline or
UNLEADED gasoline blended with a
maximum of 15% ethanol in your gasoline
vehicle. If your vehicle is a Flex Fuel Vehicle
(FFV), it will have a yellow bezel placed
over the fuel fill inlet.
Do not use:
•
Fuel containing more than 15% ethanol
or E-85 fuel.
• Fuel with methanol.
• Fuels containing metallic based
additives, including manganese-based
compounds.
• Fuels containing the octane booster
additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT)
• Leaded fuel (The use of leaded fuel is
prohibited by law).
Note: Use of any fuel other than
recommended fuel can cause powertrain
damage, impair the emission control system
or cause loss of vehicle performance. Any
damage to vehicle that is caused by use of
fuel not recommended will not be covered
under warranty.
Choosing the Right Fuel With a
Flex Fuel Vehicle (If Equipped)
Use only UNLEADED gasoline or
UNLEADED gasoline blended with a
maximum of 85% ethanol (E-85) in your
Flex Fuel Vehicle (FFV). If your vehicle is
flex fuel capable, it will have a yellow bezel
placed over the fuel fill inlet. Do not use:
•
Fuels containing more than 85%
ethanol or E-100 fuel.
• Fuel with methanol.
• Fuels containing metallic based
additives, including manganese-based
compounds.
• Fuels containing the octane booster
additive, methylcyclopentadienyl
manganese tricarbonyl (MMT)
• Leaded fuel (The use of leaded fuel is
prohibited by law).
Note: Use of any fuel other than
recommended fuel can cause powertrain
damage, impair the emission control system
or cause loss of vehicle performance. Any
damage to vehicle that is caused by use of
fuel not recommended will not be covered
under warranty.
Octane Recommendations Do not be concerned if your engine
sometimes knocks lightly. However, if it
knocks heavily under most driving
conditions while you are using fuel with the
recommended octane rating, see your
authorized dealer to prevent any engine
damage.

3.7L V6, 5.0L V8 and 6.2L V8 Engines
Regular unleaded gasoline with a pump
(R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is
recommended. Some stations offer fuels
posted as Regular with an octane rating
below 87, particularly in high altitude areas.
Fuels with octane levels below 87 are not
recommended.
3.5L V6 EcoBoost Engine
Regular unleaded gasoline with a pump
(R+M)/2 octane rating of 87 is
recommended. Some stations offer fuels
posted as Regular with an octane rating
below 87, particularly in high altitude areas.
Fuels with octane levels below 87 are not
recommended.
Premium fuel will provide improved
performance and is recommended for
severe duty usage such as trailer tow.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Avoid running out of fuel. This situation
may have an adverse effect on powertrain
components.
If you have run out of fuel:
•
You may need to cycle the ignition from
Off to On several times after refueling
to allow the fuel system to pump the
fuel from the fuel tank to the engine.
On restarting, cranking time will take a
few seconds longer than normal.
• Normally, adding 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of
fuel is enough to restart the engine. If
the vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep
grade, more than 1 gallon (3.8 liters)
may be required. •
The service engine soon indicator may
come on. For more information on the
service engine soon indicator, See
Warning Lamps and Indicators
(page
82).
• For information on calculating DTE
(Distance to empty), See Instrument
Cluster
(page 81).
Refilling With a Portable Fuel
Container WARNINGS
Do not insert the nozzle of portable
fuel containers or aftermarket
funnels into the Easy Fuel
“no cap”
fuel system. This could damage the fuel
system and its seal, and may cause fuel to
run onto the ground instead of filling the
tank, which could result in serious personal
injury. Do not try to pry open or push open
the Easy Fuel
“no cap” fuel system
with foreign objects. This could
damage the fuel system and its seal and
cause injury to you or others. Note:
When filling the vehicle ’s fuel tank
from a portable fuel container, use the
funnel included with the vehicle.
With the Easy Fuel “no cap” fuel system,
use the following directions when filling
from a portable fuel container: 141
