2015 FORD F650 fuel

Note:Do not put DEF in the fuel tank or any other tank on your
vehicle. This can cause damage to components not covered by your
vehicle’s warranty.
Your vehicle is equipped with a DEF tank with a blue-capped filler port.
The 5-gallon (19.0L) DEF tank is located on the left side of your vehicle
under the cab. The 9-gallon (34.0L) DEF tank is located on the right
side of your vehicle behind the cab (Regular Cab and Super Cab) or
under the cab (Crew Cab). The tank can be filled using a nozzle at a
DEF filling station (similar to fuel fill) or using a DEF bottle with a
spout. We recommend using Motorcraft brand DEF bottles. You can use
other aftermarket bottles, but the bottles should have a seal on the spout
and an internal vent tube to achieve best fill performance and prevent
overfilling.
You can buy DEF at an authorized dealer, most highway truck stops or
you can contact roadside assistance for help in finding a retailer that
sells DEF. See theCustomer Assistancechapter for more information. In
addition, a government website locator is available for diesel exhaust
fluid supplies. Use the following web address to find the nearest location
to buy DEF: http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/locator/def.
Use Motorcraft DEF or equivalent meeting Ford
specification WSS-M2C130-A or ISO 22241. Use only
DEF certified by the American Petroleum Institute.
Look for this certification trademark. Your warranty
may not cover repairs resulting from the use of
non-certified DEF products.
Maintaining the purity of DEF is important to avoid malfunctions in the
SCR system.
If you remove DEF from the tank for any reason (such as repair work),
do not use the same DEF to refill the tank as may not have kept its
purity.

To fill the DEF tank, see an authorized dealer or do the following (before
filling the DEF tank in cold climates, seeFilling the DEF tank in cold
climateslater in this section):
DEF Bottle Fill with Spout
The following procedure applies to Motorcraft DEF or similar DEF
bottles. For other brands or bottle types, see the instructions on the
bottle label.
1. Remove the cap from the DEF
container and twist the spout onto
the container until the locking tab
engages.
2. Open the DEF filler port on your
vehicle by turning the blue cap
counterclockwise a quarter-turn.
3. Lift and hold the DEF container,
without tipping, and insert the
spout, into the DEF filler port.
4. Lift and tip the container to let
DEF flow into the tank. Pour DEF
until the container is empty or DEF
flow stops. DEF can be seen flowing
through the spout, but does not
completely fill the spout while
flowing. Air is trapped in the spout
while DEF is flowing. When the
DEF tank is full, DEF completely
fills the spout and displaces the air
in the spout.

5. Once the spout is full with DEF (no more large air pockets), return
the container to the vertical position slightly below the DEF filler port
and let any DEF drain out of the spout. DO NOT try to continue to add
DEF to the tank by shaking or repositioning the container to induce flow.
This may cause spilling and overfill the tank. Overfilling the DEF tank
can cause damage to the tank.
6. Once the spout has drained, remove the spout from the DEF filler
port and install the blue cap on the DEF filler port by turning the cap
clockwise a
14-turn.
7. Remove the spout from the DEF container and install the cap back on
the bottle.
8. If the container is empty, discard the empty container and spout, or
recycle if possible. If there is some DEF left in the container, retain it
and the spout for later use. Store the spout to keep it clean.
9. Wipe away any DEF that has spilled on painted surfaces with water
and a damp cloth.
DEF Filling Station Nozzle Fill
Filling the DEF tank using a nozzle is similar to a normal fuel fill. The
nozzle shuts off automatically when the tank is full. Do not continue to
fill the tank as this may cause spillage and overfill the tank, which can
cause damage.
Filling the DEF Tank in Cold Climates
DEF freezes below 12°F (-11°C). If temperatures are at or below 12°F
(-11°C) for an extended period, and the DEF tank is full, and you are
not going to drive your vehicle, there is a risk that the tank could freeze,
causing damage. If low temperature conditions are expected, you should
keep your tank at least 50% full and make sure you add DEF on level
ground to prevent the fluid from freezing on an angle.

•DEF freezes below 12°F (-11°C). Your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic pre-heating system which allows the DEF system to
operate below 12°F (-11°C).
•Do not store the DEF bottle in your vehicle. If it leaks, it could cause
damage to interior components or release an ammonia odor inside
your vehicle.
•Store DEF out of direct sunlight and in temperatures between
23°F–68°F (-5°C–20°C).
NOISE EMISSIONS
In order to keep to the federal exterior noise regulations, your vehicle
may be equipped with noise emission items. Depending on your vehicle
configuration, it may have all or some of the following items:
Air Intake System:Inspect the air cleaner. Do not alter its location. Do
not alter inlet and outlet piping.
Body:Inspect wheel well splash shields, cab shields and under hood
insulation for deterioration, dislocation and orientation.
Cooling System:
•Inspect the fan for blade damage. If you find any damage, replace
with the recommended parts. Inspect for fan-to-shroud interference
and any damage to shroud, such as cracks and holes.
•Do not change fan ratio or alter fan spacer dimensions and positions.
•Inspect fan clutch for proper operation. Make sure the fan is
disengaged when cooling of the engine is not required.
•Inspect radiator shutters (if equipped) for proper operation. The
shutters should be open during normal operating temperatures.
Engine:Valve covers and block covers damp-out engine mechanical
noise. If they need replacing, make sure to replace them with the
recommended parts. Check for mechanical isolations.
Transmission Enclosure:Inspect for cracks, holes and tears. Clean any
deposits, such as oil, dirt and stones.
Exhaust System:
•Inspect for leaks at various joint connections and loose clamps.
•
Perform a visual inspection for cracks or holes in the muffler and tail pipe.
•Always use the recommended replacement parts.
•Do not change the tail pipe elbow or offset tail pipe orientation from the
standard position as originally received.
•To avoid abnormal changes in vehicle sound levels, it is necessary for the
owner to perform inspections and necessary maintenance at the intervals
shown in theScheduled Maintenancechapter.

We do not recommend, or approve, performing axle conversions.
However, we understand that, on occasion, others install aftermarket
add-on axles on the truck chassis that allow operator control for weight
transfer from other axles (such as air lift axles).
TWO-SPEED REAR AXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Never shift a two-speed axle when descending a
steep grade as this may cause loss of vehicle control and result in
personal injury.
Note:Do not shift between ranges when the speed control is on.
A two-speed rear axle allows the
driver to select a low range for
greater pulling power and a high
range for greater road speed and
fuel economy. You can also use
these ranges to provide extra steps
between transmission shifts when
driving on steep grades or fuel
economy may be factors.
Axle Shifting with a Manual Transmission
To downshift, select the next lower gear, release and press the
accelerator pedal rapidly, or while holding the accelerator pedal down,
release and engage the clutch rapidly.Note:Use the clutch method
when driving at slower speeds.
To upshift, keep the accelerator pedal down, select the next higher gear,
release the accelerator and pause until the axle upshifts.Note:
De-clutch for smoother axle upshifts when driving at slower speeds.
Axle Shifting with an Automatic Transmission
Note:You cannot split-shift with an automatic transmission. In addition,
downshifting above 40 mph (64 km/h) may result in transmission or axle
damage.
Note:Do not shift the axle to LOW with your vehicle is moving.
Use LOW when you drive a fully loaded vehicle on a severe grade or in
congested traffic. Press the upper portion of the switch.
Use HIGH for all normal driving conditions with a lightly loaded or
partially loaded vehicle. Press the lower portion of the switch.

Push the palm release lever (A) on
the parking brake handle (B) and
push down as far as possible to
release the brake. Driving with the
parking brake on causes the brakes
to wear out quickly and reduces
fuel economy.
We recommend you not use the parking brake to stop a moving vehicle.
However, if the normal brakes fail, you can use the parking brake to stop
your vehicle in an emergency. Since the parking brake only applies
retardation to the rear wheels, the vehicle’s stopping distance increases
greatly and the handling of your vehicle is adversely affected.
Power Park (Hydraulic Brake Vehicles Only)
This feature uses a brake chamber mounted on the chassis to power a
spring-applied, hydraulically released driveline parking brake.
The park brake dash-mounted, yellow knob-type switch controls the
Power Park Brake. The switch has three positions: apply (out), neutral
(central), and release (in). The switch is spring-loaded to return to the
neutral (central) position after pushing or pulling it.
There is no visual indication at the knob that the parking brake
is applied or released; check the instrument cluster. If the light
is illuminated, the parking brake is applied.
Applying the Parking Brake
Pull the yellow, dash-mounted parking brake knob. The parking brake
light illuminates indicating that the parking brake has been successfully
set.
Note:If the light blinks and a warning tone sounds when you pull the
control knob, the parking brake is not functioning properly. Seek
immediate service from your dealer. SeeParking brake warning
systemin this section.
Releasing the Parking Brake
WARNING:Hold the brake pedal down while moving the
gearshift lever from position to position. If the brake pedal is not
held down, the vehicle may move unexpectedly resulting in property
damage, personal injury or death.
