Operation in Snow and Rain
Vehicle operation in heavy snowfall or
extreme rain conditions may feed
excessive amounts of snow or water into
the air intake system. This could plug the
air filter with snow and may cause the
engine to lose power and possibly shut
down.
We recommend the following actions after
operating your vehicle up to 200 miles
(320 kilometers) in snowfall or extreme
rain:
•
Snow: At the earliest opportunity, open
the hood and clear all the snow and ice
from the air filter housing inlet (do not
remove the foam filter) and reset the
air filter restriction gauge.
Note: Removal of the foam filter degrades
your vehicle performance during snow and
hot weather conditions.
• Extreme rain: The air filter dries after
about 15– 30 minutes at highway
speeds. At the earliest opportunity,
open the hood and reset the air filter
restriction gauge.
Refer to Air filter and restriction gauge in
the Maintenance chapter for more
information. See Changing the Engine
Air Filter (page 49).
Operation in Standing Water
Ingestion of water into the diesel engine
can result in immediate and severe
damage to the engine. If driving through
water, slow down to avoid splashing water
into the intake. If the engine stalls, and you
suspect ingestion of water into the engine,
do not try to restart the engine. Consult
your dealer for service immediately. Your fuel tank vents to the atmosphere by
valves on top of the tank and through the
fuel cap. If water reaches the top of the
tank, the valves may pull water into the
fuel tank. Water in the fuel can cause
performance issues and damage the fuel
injection system.
SWITCHING OFF THE ENGINE
Turn the ignition to the off position.
To prolong engine life (especially after
extended high speed, high ambient
temperature, or high GVW/GCW operation,
such as heavy loads or heavy trailers), it is
recommended that a hot engine be idled
for 3-5 minutes. This allows the
turbocharged engine to cool down. For
more information on GVW/GCW, see the
Load Carrying chapter in your Owner
’s
Manual.
ENGINE IDLE SHUTDOWN
Your vehicle may be equipped with an
engine idle shutdown system. This system
automatically shuts down your engine
when it has been idling in
P (Park) or N
(Neutral) for five minutes (parking brake
set) or 15 minutes (parking brake not set).
When the engine idle shutdown process
has started:
• A chime sounds and the information
display will show ENGINE TURNS OFF
IN 30 (seconds) and start counting
down
• You can restart the five or 15-minute
timer by changing the position of the
accelerator pedal, brake pedal or the
park brake within the final 30 seconds
• When the timer reaches zero, the
engine shuts down and this message
will appear in your information display
ENGINE TURNED OFF

filters at the same time. Regular fuel filter
changes are an important part of engine
maintenance; failing to keep with the
scheduled maintenance could lead to
engine performance issues and fuel
injection system damage. Refer to the
scheduled maintenance information of this
supplement for more information. See
General Maintenance Information
(page 58).
Refer to Motorcraft part numbers in the
Capacities and Specifications chapter for
the fuel filter replacement part number.
See Motorcraft Parts (page 54). This part
number includes filters and seals for both
the engine-mounted and frame-mounted
filters.
Removal - Diesel Fuel Conditioner
Module filter
The diesel fuel conditioner module filter is
located in the lower portion of the housing.
1. Drain the diesel fuel conditioner module. See Draining the Fuel and
Water Separator earlier in this chapter.
2. Remove the lower portion of the diesel
fuel conditioner module housing (filter
bowl) by turning it counterclockwise
using a 32 mm socket. Note:
Depending on the amount of seal
swelling, removal of the filter bowl may be
noisy and require some effort. Replace the
seal prior to reinstalling the filter bowl to
improve assembly.
3. Remove and discard the old fuel filter element.
4. Carefully clean the mating surfaces using a lint-free rag.
Installation – Diesel Fuel Conditioner
Module filter
1. Install the new filter into the filter bowl
tabs and replace the seal on the diesel
fuel conditioner module header (top
portion of separator). Refer to
Motorcraft part numbers in the
Capacities and Specifications chapter
for the fuel filter kit part number. See
Motorcraft Parts
(page 54).
2. Lube O-ring with lubricant packet in the filter kit. This will assist in making
sure the filter is properly tightened. 3. Reinstall the lower portion of the
housing by slowly turning it clockwise
onto diesel fuel conditioner module
housing, allowing fuel to soak into the
fuel filter element. Tighten the lower
housing until it contacts the
mechanical stop.

Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid tank WARNINGS
Make sure that diesel exhaust fluid
does not come into contact with
eyes, skin or clothing. Should diesel
exhaust fluid contact your eyes, flush them
with plenty of water and contact a
physician. Clean affected skin with soap
and water. If diesel exhaust fluid is
swallowed, drink plenty of water and
contact a physician immediately WARNINGS
Refill diesel exhaust fluid in a
well-ventilated area. When opening
the cap on the diesel exhaust fluid
tank or bottle containing diesel exhaust
fluid, ammonia vapors may escape. The
vapors can be irritating to skin, eyes and
mucous membranes. Inhaling ammonia
vapors can cause burning to the eyes,
throat and nose and cause coughing and
watery eyes. Note:
Do not put diesel exhaust fluid in the
fuel tank. This can cause engine damage
not covered by your vehicle ’s warranty.

Super Duty (TFA) Fuel and Refueling

Note:
Immediately wipe away any diesel
exhaust fluid that has spilled on painted
surfaces with water and a damp cloth to
prevent damage to the paint.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel
exhaust fluid 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
diesel exhaust fluid filling station (similar
to fuel fill) or using a diesel exhaust fluid
bottle with a spout. We recommend
Motorcraft® diesel exhaust fluid bottles
since they are designed to be spill proof
and will stop the flow of diesel exhaust
fluid when the tank is full. You can use
other aftermarket bottles, but they should
have a seal on the spout and an internal
vent tube to achieve best fill performance
and prevent overfilling. Overfilling your
diesel exhaust fluid tank can cause
damage to the tank. For diesel exhaust
fluid capacity. See Technical
Specifications (page 56).
You can purchase diesel exhaust fluid at
your authorized dealer, most highway truck
stops or you can contact roadside
assistance for help in finding a retailer that
sells diesel exhaust fluid. See the Customer
Assistance chapter in the Owner ’s Manual
for more information. In addition, there is
a government website locator for diesel
exhaust fluid at the following web address
to find the nearest location to purchase
diesel exhaust fluid:
http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/
locator/def. Use only diesel exhaust fluid certified by
the American Petroleum Institute (API)
such as Motorcraft® diesel exhaust fluid
or equivalent meeting Ford specification
WSS-M99C130-A and/or ISO 22241. Look
for API certification trademark shown here.
Your vehicle
’s warranty will not cover
repairs resulting from the use of
non-certified diesel exhaust fluid products.
Maintaining the purity of diesel exhaust
fluid is important to avoid malfunctions in
the selective catalytic reduction system.
If you remove the diesel exhaust fluid for
tank repair, you cannot use the same fluid
to refill the tank. You can no longer
guarantee the purity of the diesel exhaust
fluid.
To fill the diesel exhaust fluid tank in cold
climates, see filling the diesel exhaust fluid
tank in cold climates later in this section
or see an authorized dealer.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid bottle fill with spout
The following procedure applies to
Motorcraft® diesel exhaust fluid or similar
diesel exhaust fluid bottles; for other
brands or bottle types, refer to the
instructions on the bottle label.
1. Remove the cap from the diesel exhaust fluid container. Remove the
spout from the bottle and insert the
straw end into the bottle. Ensure you
align the arrow above the nut with the
bottle handle and the small tube end
extends into the far corner of the
bottle. Twist the spout nut on the
container until it is tight.

2.
Open the diesel exhaust fluid filler port
on your vehicle by turning the blue cap
counterclockwise. Do not put diesel
exhaust fluid in the fuel tank. This can
cause engine damage not covered by
your vehicle ’s warranty. 3. Lift and hold the diesel exhaust fluid
container, without tipping, and insert
the spout into the diesel exhaust fluid
filler port until the small black seal on
the spout completely seats into the
filler port. 4.
While filling, the fluid level in the bottle
will continually drop. 5. When the diesel exhaust fluid tank is
full, the fluid level in the bottle will stop
dropping, indicating the fluid has
stopped flowing. 24
Super Duty (TFA) Fuel and RefuelingE163355 E163356 E163357 E163358 E163359

6. Once the level in the diesel exhaust
fluid bottle has stopped dropping,
return the container to the vertical
position slightly below the diesel
exhaust fluid filler port and let any
diesel exhaust fluid drain out of the
spout. DO NOT try to continue to add
diesel exhaust fluid to the tank by
shaking or repositioning the container
to induce flow. This may cause spilling
and overfill the tank. Overfilling the
diesel exhaust fluid tank can cause
damage to the tank.
7. Once the spout has drained, remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid
filler port and install the blue cap on
the diesel exhaust fluid filler port.
8. Remove the spout from the diesel exhaust fluid container and install the
cap back on the bottle.
9. If the container is empty, discard the empty container, or recycle if possible.
If there is diesel exhaust fluid left in the
container, retain it for later use. The
spout is re-useable; after use, rinse it
with clean water and store the spout
to keep it clean. Do not use the diesel
exhaust fluid spout with any other
chemicals.
10. Wipe away any diesel exhaust fluid that has spilled on painted surfaces
with water and a damp cloth.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid filling station nozzle
fill
Filling the diesel exhaust fluid tank using
a nozzle is similar to a normal fuel fill. The
nozzle will shut off automatically when the
tank is full. Do not continue to fill the tank
as this may cause spilling and overfill can
cause damage to the tank. Note:
Some filling station nozzles may
prevent filling of your diesel exhaust fluid
tank due to a magnetic mechanism in the
nozzle. This is not a problem with your
vehicle. To refill your tank either locate
another filling station or use a bottle to refill
the tank.
Filling the Diesel Exhaust Fluid tank in
cold climates
Diesel exhaust fluid will freeze below 12°F
(-11°C); however, your vehicle is equipped
with an automatic preheating system
which allows the diesel exhaust fluid
system to operate below 12°F (-11°C).
When your vehicle is not in operation for
an extended period with temperatures at
or below 12°F (-11°C), the diesel exhaust
fluid tank could freeze. If the tank is
OVERFILLED and freezes, it could be
damaged, therefore DO NOT OVERFILL.
To prevent overfilling of the diesel exhaust
fluid tank when filling with a bottle, Ford
recommends using Motorcraft® diesel
exhaust fluid. Additionally, if the
information display indicates EXHAUST
FLUID UNDER 1/2 FULL, you should only
add a MAXIMUM of 2 gallons (6.7L) of
diesel exhaust fluid to the tank to prevent
freeze damage due to overfilling. If the
information display indicates EXHAUST
FLUID LEVEL OK, do not add diesel
exhaust fluid.
Contaminated Diesel Exhaust Fluid or
inoperative Selective Catalytic
Reduction system Selective catalytic reduction
systems are sensitive to
contamination of the diesel
exhaust fluid. USE ONLY API or ISO 22241
CERTIFIED DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID. If the
selective catalytic reduction system
becomes contaminated or inoperative, the
diesel exhaust fluid light will illuminate and
exhaust fluid system fault messages will
appear in the information display.
25
Super Duty (TFA) Fuel and RefuelingE163176

Continued driving without replacing diesel
exhaust fluid or having the selective
catalytic reduction system repaired will
result in the following actions as required
by the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) and U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA):
•
Within a certain number of miles
(kilometers) to empty, speed will be
limited upon restart. Prior to this
occurring a message will appear in the
information display.
• Further vehicle operation without
replacing contaminated diesel exhaust
fluid will cause the engine to enter an
idle-only condition. This will only occur
upon vehicle refueling, vehicle idling in
park for 1 hour, or engine shutdown for
10 minutes or more and will be
indicated by a message in the
information display indicating required
actions to resume normal operation.
For either vehicle speed limiting or idle-only
condition, normal vehicle operation will
resume when you repair the contaminated
system. To service a contaminated or
inoperative system, see an authorized
dealer.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid guidelines and
information
• Use only diesel exhaust fluid that
carries the trademark: American
Petroleum Institute (API) certified DEF
or ISO 22241.
• Do not put diesel exhaust fluid in the
diesel fuel tank.
• Do not overfill the diesel exhaust fluid
tank. •
Do not re-use the diesel exhaust fluid
container once it is emptied.
• Avoid spilling diesel exhaust fluid on
painted surfaces, carpeting or plastic
components. Immediately wipe away
any diesel exhaust fluid that has spilled
with a damp cloth and water. If it has
already crystallized, use warm water
and a sponge.
• Store diesel exhaust fluid out of direct
sunlight and in temperatures between
23°F (-5°C) — 68°F (20°C).
• Diesel exhaust fluid will freeze below
12°F (-11°C).
