Clean Air Gasoline
Many gasolines are now being
blended to contribute to cleaner air,
especially in those areas where air
pollution levels are high. These new
blends provide a cleaner burning fuel
and some are referred to as reformu-
lated gasoline.
The manufacturer supports these ef-
forts toward cleaner air. You can help
by using these blends as they become
available.
MMT In Gasoline
MMT (Methylcyclopentadienyl Man-
ganese Tricarbonyl) is a manganese
containing metallic additive that is
blended into some gasoline to increase
octane. Gasoline blended with MMT
provides no performance advantage
beyond gasoline of the same octane
number without MMT. Gasoline
blended with MMT reduces spark
plug life and reduces emission system
performance in some vehicles. The
manufacturer recommends that gaso-
line without MMT be used in your
vehicle. The MMT content of gasoline
may not be indicated on the gasolinepump; therefore, you should ask your
gasoline retailer whether or not his/
her gasoline contains MMT.
Materials Added To Fuel
All gasoline sold in the United States
is required to contain effective deter-
gent additives. Use of additional de-
tergents or other additives is not
needed under normal conditions and
they would result in additional cost.
Therefore, you should not have to add
anything to the fuel.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
— DIESEL ENGINES
This vehicle must only use pre-
mium diesel fuel that meets the
requirements of EN 590. Biodiesel
blends that meet EN 590 may also
be used.
CAUTION!
The manufacturer requires that
you must fuel this vehicle with Ul-
tra Low Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel
(15 ppm Sulfur maximum) and
prohibits the use of Low Sulfur
Highway Diesel fuel (500 ppm Sul-
fur maximum) to avoid damage to
the emissions control system.
WARNING!
Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a
fuel blending agent. They can be
unstable under certain conditions
and hazardous or explosive when
mixed with diesel fuel.
Diesel fuel is seldom completely free
of water. To prevent fuel system
trouble, have the accumulated water
drained from the fuel/water separator
using the fuel/water separator drain
provided. If you buy good quality fuel
and follow the cold weather advice
above, fuel conditioners should not be
required in your vehicle. If available

WARNING!(Continued)
Never add fuel when the engine isrunning. This is in violation of
most state and federal fire regula-
tions and may cause the “Mal-
function Indicator Light” to turn
on.
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable container that is
inside of a vehicle. You could be
burned. Always place fuel con-
tainers on the ground while fill-
ing.

weight. The total load must be limited
so that you do not exceed the GVWR.
Refer to “Vehicle Loading/Vehicle
Certification Label” in “Starting and
Operating” for further information.
