2015 FORD F650 fuel

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. Do not rely
on it to increase your 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
you leave the engine running.
•Use the same fill rate (low–medium–high) each time you fill the tank.
•Allow no more than two automatic click–offs when filling.
•Have the vehicle loading and distribution the same every time.
•If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel tanks, fill the tanks evenly
or the fuel gauge reading may fluctuate slightly until the fuel level
between the two tanks balances out and becomes equal.
Note:If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel tanks add fuel to both
fuel tanks when refueling or engine performance may degrade.
Results are most accurate when the filling method is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during the first 1000 miles
(1600 kilometers) of driving; this is your engine’s break-in period. Start
measuring after driving 2000–3000 miles (3200–4800 kilometers). Also,
fuel expense, frequency of fill-ups or fuel gauge readings are not
accurate ways to measure fuel economy.
1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading.
2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added.
3. After at least three to five tank fill-ups, fill the fuel tank and record
the current odometer reading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer
reading.
5. Calculate fuel economy as follows:
•Standard: Divide miles traveled by gallons used.
•Metric: Multiply liters used by 100, then divide by kilometers
traveled.

Keep a record for at least one month and record the type of driving (city
or highway). This provides an accurate estimate of your vehicle’s fuel
economy under current driving conditions. Additionally, keeping records
during summer and winter shows how temperature impacts fuel
economy. In general, lower temperatures mean lower fuel economy.
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION (SCR) SYSTEM (DIESEL
ENGINE ONLY)
Your vehicle is equipped with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
system to help reduce emission levels of oxides of nitrogen from the
exhaust of the diesel engine. The system automatically injects diesel
exhaust fluid (DEF) into the exhaust system to enable proper SCR
function.
Importance of Maintaining the DEF Level
In order for the SCR system to operate properly, you must maintain the
DEF level. Generally, you should fill the DEF tank before the DEF gauge
in the instrument cluster reaches the first low level warning (see
Warning messages and vehicle operations).
The engine control unit monitors the amount of fluid available in the
DEF tank. Failure to maintain an adequate amount of DEF in the system
generates warning messages that appear in the information display and,
unless you refill the DEF tank, leads to a forced reduction of engine
operations.
Warning Messages and Vehicle Operations
The instrument cluster contains a DEF gauge and indicator lights to alert
you to any low DEF level conditions. The indicator lights illuminate if the
DEF gauge level drops below 1 gallon (3.8 liters) in the 5-gallon
(19.0 liters) DEF tank or 2 gallons (7.6 liters) in the 10-gallon
(34.0 liters) DEF tank.
Upon filling the DEF tank after a low-level warning, normal operation
resumes when you restart your vehicle.

Filling the DEF Tank
WARNING:Make sure that DEF does not come into contact
with eyes, skin or clothing. Should DEF contact your eyes, flush
them with plenty of water and contact a physician. Clean affected skin
with soap and water. If DEF is swallowed, drink plenty of water and
contact a physician immediately.
WARNING:Refill DEF in a well-ventilated area. When opening
the cap on the DEF tank or bottle containing DEF, 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.
